Would a HFX mini case (mCubed) have enough fanless cooling capacity for a system like this? I want to build a totally silent HTPC with something a bit more powerful than an Atom or Ion.

Hello!

This may be a stupid question but do the Scythe S-FLEX fans have rpm output function that makes it compatible with fan controllers that report RPM?

A few Socket 775 motherboards that you can definitely fit the HR-03 Plus above the card with are the Asus P5W DH Deluxe and most (all?) variations of the Asus P5K motherboard. :) A related question: Can I use either of the two x16 slots for a single card on a dual VGA main board? This would make th...

I'm planning to build a similar system so this tread is really interesting. A question for falcon26: Is there room enough for you to mount the HR-03 Plus facing upwards if you wanted to? I would prefer to keep some more expansion slots. For everyone: How much do different main boards differ in the d...
