Well it turns out the Gigabyte passive card does NOT let the top cover of the NSK2480 close and secure properly... I could really yank down and force it but that's obviously not good for any of the components. For now the lid can lock in front but is popped up in the back resting on the top fins of ...

Hmm I don't think I want to bend an accelero that much, looks kind of scary! So its either that Gigabyte fanless 4850 (this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125237) or go with the Thermalright low profile cooler and hope it fits the case which it looks like it should.

I did a lot of research on the different motherboard's features and one of the main things I am looking for is one that supports Dolby Digital Live / DTS Connect. The few Intel boards that have this for one reason or another didn't work for what I need. The closest was this Gigabyte but the PCI-Ex g...

I have a Rigid shop vac I bought from Home Depot. Putting the vac on reverse and blowing the comp out (outside of course) works good. If I need a little more pressure I just put some duct tape over the hose. I always either hold the fans or put some tape on them so they don't spin while blowing the ...
