switch the fan on your CPU heatsink around so it sucks out, or change the fan in the case door to blow in. they're sucking in two different directions and are thus totally inefficient.
also, the exhaust fan is surplus to requirement if you have the door-fan setup correctly.

Looking for the Gigabyte X700Pro w/ HP
Here's a review of the card, from that page I can only see one place that offers the card ($246). Does anyone know of any other stores that carry it? Thanks.

C3 motherboard question
before I part with $60 i'd like to be 100% sure that this motherboard will work with a C3 CPU.
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDe ... 146&depa=0
any links to a cheaper deal would be nice, or maybe another C3-supporting mATX motherboard.
thanks.

Hah, yea I was thinking of Dremeling it out as I usually do. Although I think my Dremel died, got too hot cutting out a window, and some other stuff last summer. I guess I could always cut them out with something else. I've been using masking tape to cover up the edges, doesn't really look too hot. ...

lowering voltage on vid. card fan
i wanna plug the zalman vf700 directly into my video card because all the excess cabling annoys me.
is there any way i can add something to lower voltage going to the fan? maybe a resistor, how many ohms?
thanks.

it's not really an issue for me at the moment, i usually check and clean the case every few months. the VGA silencer looked a bit dusty, but the SLK-800 seemed pretty clean - although i have the fan sucking, not blowing. the BQE is getting replaced on monday anyway, gotta figure out what to do with ...

seeing as they're (PCI risers at least) used in many commercial 1U servers im pretty sure the performance loss is minimal, if at all noticable. AGP risers should be similar i guess. i think it's a signal noise issue though. longer AGP interface = greater exposure to EMI. if you're building a hardcor...
