anyone know if u can mod an NSK2480 to fit normal ATX?
From the photos i've seen, it looks like the PSU can be raised , and a full size mobo can fit just underneath it.

hopefully all the exhaust will come out of the powersupply.

Anyone using REAR exhaust fanhole as intake?!

Just wondering about this,
at work the generic/el cheapo cases we have have a horrible front intake (basically nothing)
Does/has anyone used the rear hole as an intake? Just wondering how effective it is.

Just a quick warning to SPCR addicts just in case u wanted to get this monitor and turn its brightness down. And if you cant hear it, put y...

Replacing FAN of zalman ZM600 with seasonic one ok?

Hi Just wondering if its a good idea to move my 430W seasonic fan to a 600W Zalman i'm getting. Reason i'm moving to the 600W is because its modular and my computer atm and I've had suggestions to, (lots of HD's, FANs, 8800GT, q6600.. etc). Also the 600W is second hand.

Ok, the caps arent touching the base of the plate. Also those square blocks (VRMS?) dont seem to have any conductive surface on top. And i even think that Gigabyte uses heatsinks on them. As i said there is a bit of clearance, a bit of clearance is better than none at all, even though its so thin. M...

Yate loon 140mm fans on P180? any way to do it??

so they've become available in my country.
Just wondering if theres any methods or adapters i can use to utilize these fans in my P180 case.
Cant seem to find any adapters on ebay, so im not sure if they'll exist.
Anyone know if/when 140mm will ever become mainstream?

Fan controllers that can STOP the fan?

Hi
Sorry if this topic has been posted before. But I looked at some of the specs on the website i usually buy at and it usually doesnt state if the fan controller can stop the actual fan. Does anyone know which ones do?
thanks

Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme mounted horizontally?

Anyone have their TRUE mounted so that you can put the fan blowing upwards?
reason i ask is because i have a noctua NB cooler, and i can kill two birds with 1 stone this way.
Can i block the rear fanhole and just use the top as an exhaust?
Or is it not so effective?
