The really short answer is: I’m not going to spend the time working out and writing up the long answer to your question. The not so short, and possibly even slightly useful, answer is: Look at the shape of the propeller on the back of a Nuclear Sub. (not the hunter killer types, the other ones, you ...

Maybe for cutting sorbothane / melamine / acoustic material, it'd be best to get one of those big swing-down knife type tool thingies? The ones where you put the sheet on the top, with the bit to be cut off hanging over the edge, and you pull down a big blade? That'd be a paper cutter, as Semm ment...

Yes you can fill a 3.5 inch bay with a port like the one above. But if you’re prepared to mod you’re case then my preferred option would be to use a frontX cable assembly and drill mounting holes in the case. Fools first law of case design states that USB/Firewire/Audio ports are always in the wrong...

Maybe I'm missing something but IMHO the PSU on 3700 is far from quiet so maybe Sonata is the best choice? I think it went below $100 mark at Newegg. http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?description=11-129-127&DEPA=1 $90 + $15 S&H Doh. Please excuse a Brit whose doctor ordered him not to stop ...

On the strength of your third point I’d go for the BQE.
And no I can’t think of anything else that fits your wants right now.
Oh, and WRT the wattage of the power supply. Have a read of this.

looks like a black soldam altium s8. No idea where youd get one of them though, or if there any good.

Toenail clippings. I’d sooner eat my own than buy those. Too tired to explain why right now, so I’ll let Dan do it for me. Oh and look at the pictures in that review, for the first test the guy’s measuring the temp at the surface of the chip, for the second he’s measuring the temp at the surface of ...

Yeah, I know there are lian li’s with firewire ports, and that in any event it wouldn’t be too difficult to add one, and that Beantech make a case that’s almost as understated and elegant as the PC60 that’s already got firewire, and that it really wouldn’t be that big a deal to hack out bigger venti...

Hmm, If Antec made a P160 with a proper slide out mobo tray, a recessed reset button and a less frenetic, aluminium, front panel,……… or if lian Li made a PC60 with low impedance 120mm fan grills front and back and a front firewire port,…… well, I’d never so much as look at another case again. As it ...
