it is no longer semantics because 'global warming' now is a LOADED phrase with the implication that it is ALL MAN-MADE via industrialisation It is now linked with the attempt to put curbs and penalties on industrialisation and has the political agenda of slowing down the growth of developing nations...

The motherboard in the Solo is an Asrock Conroe Xfire ... 945 chipset i think. Nice cool running board that always runs at much lower temps than my gaming/entertainment machine which has the Intel Badaxe. Both uses the E6600 cpu. The 7600GT i got is the Gigabyte Silent pipe model. Umm.. there is NO ...

Great work Claude05

Most impressed with the time and effort you must have taken in your review.

Look forward to more reviews of this kind from you and others who actually OWN the equipment under review.

Take out the "Entertainment Industry" words from the topic title and you are probably CLOSER to the REAL problem! hehe

Everything else are mere symptons and/or logical extensions of the ACTUAL problem

Depends on the ambient temperature. If you are in SUMMER and the ambient temps are in the 30's (degrees Celsius) then idling at 50 deg C is not excessive It is also dependent on the motherboard. HIgh end motherboards with powerful chipsets will keep the CPU 'active' far more than a mid range or low ...

I have the D975XBX board and I have successfully run it using the 4 pin -> 8 pin adapter that comes with the board in combination with the Silverstone 50EF (500W) PSU. There is 36 A on the two 12V rails combined for this psu according to manufacturer. There were no problems. The board was loaded wit...

Update to my Lian Li build Just got the extra 90 mm fan and proceeded to load it as a 2nd CPU fan. Tried it for a couple of hours and woe is me... it made temps HIGHER! LOL I can only think of a couple of reasons why this would be: 1. 2nd Fan (pulling air out of heatsink) actually BLOCKS airflow fro...

Hi Relleum After a few more days of using the case WITHOUT the 80 mm fan AND removing the grill attached to it, i can safely say i did not miss it one little bit. We got a bit of a heat wave here in Perth Australia, where temps are not coming down from the high 20's C and occasionally approaching th...

Apple's share price is far too strong and some shorts are screaming in pain .... :D I really wonder who the 'sponsors' of Greenpeace and like minded organisations are 8) They say they take no contributions from govts and corporations but only from individuals and foundation grants (according to thei...

Hey, I also got my Lian Li PC-B20 a few days ago and it sure is an aesthetically beautiful piece of work. I must have spent an hour just marvelling at the finish (mine is the matte black with silver curve) and the great sliding motherboard tray (the main reason why i got the case). The door is also ...

I wouldn't take it for granted that a monitor will automatically give a better TV picture than an LCD TV purely because of its higher resolution - I've heard complaints for instance that the 24" Dell has severely crushed out black levels compared with a decent LCD TV, although I haven't seen one in...

Any 24" LCD monitor that is native 1920 x 1200 will produce a TV picture that is equal to if not better than any LCD TV with a lower resolution (the reasonably priced LCD Tvs found in retail chain stores are mostly 1360 x 768) As for doubling up as a TV, just get/install a digital TV Tuner card/USB ...

The Solo is a fantastic case and all 5.25 bays are usable I have floppy, Pata mobile rack, Sata mobile rack, DVD drive loaded in my Solo 5.25 bays without any problems. However, you might still require the floppy disk because you will need to have installed your OS with your HDDs in ACHI or RAID mod...

I installed both Sata and Pata mobile racks in my machine and can say that both are very convenient indeed Espc for ghosting images and restoring from images If you are going to use it occasionally for backup purposes, then the cheep purchase would prob be as efficient as an expensive one Note many ...

In the bios I can set a desired speed of 10%, but while the fan is still spinning the rpm is not reported anymore. Is it safe to use that setting? Could the fan just stop and not start again? Not sure about the bios but I have used speedfan with a speed setting of 0% controlling the stock PWM CPU f...

So in your opinion a stock cooler (at slow rpm) with an E6600 is ok for a quiet machine? I have an Antec P150, wanna buy a conroe + Asus P5W DH dlx or an Abit motherboard, but don't wanna buy yet another heavy cooler... well..in my machine ...when i turn down the stock cpu fan to 800-900 rpm it was...

No difference in noise? Well, all that means is that your system is loud enough that it drowns out most of the hard drive noise. The new Western Digital SE16 drives are significantly better than the Seagate 7200.9 and 7200.10 drives. yeah ok...you might just be right .,,,heh I do have 4 fans goin o...

CPU - Intel E6300 (cheap option) or E6600 (best bang for buck imo) AMDs maybe a lil cheaper but performance wise are lacking relative to similar priced conroes/allendales Forget about big massive CPU heatsinks... adds strain to the board... adds strain to the build of the computer... for minimal 4-5...

looks like a bigger variation on the antec solo to me... one with a front door!

hdd storage is near identical ...which means it prob can be modded for suspension like the Solo

whats the price on it?

Runn3r

Thanks Fleks

I will just have to make do with both running even when i only require the main vga card

It is quite surprising that my MSI 7300gt runs at 55 deg C but the more powerful Gigabyte 7600gt runs at 43 deg C

Both are fanless with big heatsinks on them

HI i run 4 monitors through 2 pci-e Nvidia vga cards (7600gt and 7300gt) most of the time but when i don't need the multi monotor setup i would like to be able to power down the 7300gt without having to physically remove it from the system. is this possible via any software? or bios settings to cert...
