My problems were with an inability to boot, potentially related to GPT disk drives. The BIOS on the Intel board would basically enter a state in which it could not properly detect bootable devices and not be recoverable in any reliable way. So far I have four of the ASUS boards running. Assuming the...

Asus AT3GC-I

Does anyone have any experience with these Atom 330 boards?

I've not been having the best of luck with the BIOS on the Intel D945GCLF2 and need to consider alternatives.

I'm curious on the perceived "quietness" of this case vs. the MI-100 with a 120mm Yate-Loon in the side. I'm running the D945GCLF2 (Atom 330) in those cases right now and they are more "husssssssssssssssssssshed" than "silent" with the main source of noise seeming to be the turbulence related to the...

For drive mounting, I've been using 1/8" shock cord (from REI) to support the drives. I haven't decided how I'm going to hang a pair for ZRAID, but this works nicely for me. I'm using Scythe MiniKaze 40x40x10 from Petra's Tech Shop to replace the heatsink fan. It makes a huge difference for under $5...

The XP-90C fits quite nicely and, for my AM2 motherboard, the fins are aligned parallel to the back of the case. BestByte was able to supply the sink and the appropriate AM2 adapter (though not shown on their site when I ordered). However, with the stock case fans both running on their lowest settin...
