As promised, I finally got my Borg HPC 479 heatsink compatible with this Aopen board from www.mcubed-tech.com. First impressions is that the thing is heavy!! After installing it very carefully over the CPU, I proceeded to the mounting of the heat pipes. Not easy to find a space in the case to attach...

Hype,

Ordered one but they only come in the 15 of this month. I'll keep this thread updated when I finally receive it.

The goal here, as you can image, is to build the most silent PC ever (home cinema setup). Here are the main elements I count putting in: - Notebook HD - Notebook DVD-ROM - Penti...

Hi,

Looked everywhere but can't find an adapter to fit a notebook dvd-rom drive in a 5,25'' bay. Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance.
