Re: Choosing the right CPU & Motherboard (HTPC)
Take a look at the 300 watt FSP300-60GHS-R. It is an SFX that can mount as an ATX power supply. Check out the actual dimensions, b I would guess you will pick up 50mm or more in just that one dimension. You will also pick up about 20mm of additional headroom for your CPU heatsink. Hey wait a minute...

Re: Choosing the right CPU & Motherboard (HTPC)
I contacted Silverstone today, as I had some concern over the size of the PSU, Seasonic X-460, I wanted to use in my GD06B case and it turns out it's 10 mm too long. Now, that's not that long so I might have to do a bit of further research to see how close the PSU connectors will be to the 3.5" HDD ...

Re: Choosing the right CPU & Motherboard (HTPC)
From what I've read they have very similar acoustic performance so either would suffice. I tend to go for Samsung HDDs as I've had good experience with them over the years.

Re: HDD Elastic Suspension... Show your pics!
A good sewing shop will have a big variety of elastic cord for clothing -- from quite thick and heavy to very thin to flat & wide, etc. Super cheap. Best to go, see and handle it before you buy. You want something not too thin & too easily stretched. Thanks for the reply. I'll try find a sewing sho...

Re: HDD Elastic Suspension... Show your pics!
I've become interested in suspending the hard drives in my Dell Vostro 200 Mini-Tower, however, I can't seem to find a source for the elastic cord used in so many of the successful suspension projects in this thread. Does anybody have any idea where I could find elastic cord? I have read that it can...
