Here's a recent article on RAID performance. Tomshardware's reputation has steadily declined over the years due to bias and quality so take it for what it's worth. Cheers.

RAID 0 is not likely to provide noticeable performance increases.

The TV is a Samsung lnt5281f and outputting 1080p. I originally had the 2 Seagate hard drives in my ReadyNAS NV+ but eventually replaced them with 4 Samsung HD501LJ hard drives. Since I wasn't using the Seagates for anything else, I thought I'll try out a RAID setup in the P182. I'm using the Raptor...

This is my old P4 2.4GHz that I rebuilt to be my bittorrent machine. I replaced the old Antec PSU with the Corsair 520HX, three 3.5 hard drives with one 2.5 hard drive in a Scythe SQD2.5-1000 2.5" Internal HDD Silencer mounted with Scythe Anti-Vibration HDD Stabilizer 2 for 3.5" HDD.

The foam helps with any high pitched noise from the hard drive, video card, psu, etc. I'm more susceptible to high pitched noises so that foam has been great at eliminating those frequencies. I have 7 fans in my P182 because I'm overclocking the q6600 to 3.2GHz. The only thing I can hear is a nice l...

It has a parallel and serial port header on the motherboard. It comes with a slotted I/O which you plug into the port headers. The disadvantage is that it takes up a back slot if you need to use it.

It's the first revision of Logitech's diNovo Media Desktop Laser so it's a little different from the version they sell now. The one I have has a single mouse charger that is also the bluetooth receiver instead of mouse charger plus bluetooth dongle. I don't use the detached numpad much so I put that...

Thanks for the compliment! I live in the bay area of California in United States. The components do put out quite a bit of heat. The cabinet was originally fully enclosed, but I removed the back panel due to the same concern you had. Luckily the components block the view to the back so it still look...

I believed the alleycat is homemade.I'm going to have to consider a suspension mount, and I'm not familiar with the Alley Cat boxes you're using - have to check them out.

I am using a mini ninja and tried using both 120mm fans as intake. Using the fans as intake created a high pitched whine due to air turbulence. I have since reversed the 120mm fans to exhausts and added a 80mm nexus CPU fan. The 80mm fan blows toward the 120mm so all the fans are moving air in the s...

How To: P182 Top Fan Hood Acoustipack Mod
I didn't want to cover up the top fan hole on the P182 in case I wanted to mount a fan there in the future, so I modified the fan hood to shield some of the noise coming out of that fan hole. This takes 10 minutes and is complete reversible: 1. Remove the metal mesh from the black plastic frame. 2. ...

Antec Fusion v2 Silver Issues
I'm having the following issues with my fusion v2. If you have the same problems, you're not alone. 1. The PSU that came with the fusion v2 buzzed and whined terribly. I replaced it with a Seasonic S12II-380. Waiting for Antec to tell me how to connect the PSU to the 3-pin VFD power. The 3-pin VFD p...

How To: Using IR in VFD to power on/off (Antec Fusion v2)
Antec is not very good at providing detailed instructions so I thought I write this up. In order to use a remote to power on/off the Fusion v2 silver, you have to connect the black/white "power sw" wire to the VFD and the red/black "mobo/gnd" wire to the motherboard. The "power sw" comes out of the ...
