Looks nice :) If it was my case i would want it about half the hight , wth 2 120mm fans on the front, my wood work skills suck, so it would be better to see if i could find a big project box. Yeah, with a low-profile graphics card and a Pico that would be a nice compact design. However, if you want...

In case someone reads this... Finally got around to ordering the parts: Biostar G31-M7 TE 2x2GB DDR2-800 mushkin CL5 Intel DC E6300 Scythe Ninja mini Rev.B Club3D Radeon HD5770 1GB Accelero S1 rev.2 1TB SpinPoint F3 HD103SJ BE Quiet L7 350W CoolerMaster MegaFlow 20cm So, obviously this is hardly a h...

Well, the card is not bricked, but the S1 didn't make proper contact with the GPU. I put the stock cooler back and, surprise... it worked. I replaced the preapplied MX-2 with a rather thick layer of Tuniq TX-2 and then mounted back the S1, squeezing the screws to maximum. The temps I'm getting with...

something like this, i think you might be better served by turning the air column on end. blow the hot air up. might make a nicer looking case too. then vertically mount the CD drive to one side of the front of the cabinet... I did consider it when starting out. Apart from aesthetics, the benefits ...

at the moment you've got a certain amount of air moving, and it moves most easily in the most unrestrictive paths. you've got a large cross sectional area, and only a little amount of that is heatsink - your air is going to move through the unimpeded open space on the whole, very little will want t...

looks nice. Yeah, right...I mean, thanks! :) did you consider; having the mobo flat, so when the ninja is installed there are no issues with cantilevered weight? At first I did, but then I figured I don't have a good way to hang the PSU securely. Really didn't want to risk it crashing down on anyth...

After reading some comments on the different Aplus and Xclio style cases (those with 22cm side fans), I came to this conclusion: While the fans themselves aren't necessarily that bad, side fans cannot offer much improvement to the old ATX case design. And why? My guess is because they blow on the mo...

*bump*

Ok, as for the Sparkle 9600gt buzzing, would you hear it from within a closed case 2-3m away? If not, good enough for me.

The best way to limit your framerate is to simply enable vertical sync in those games that experience framerates consistently above your screen's refresh rate. If a frame takes slightly longer than one screen refresh to render, it will wait until the next refresh, effectively cutting your framerate...

Yea. When playing some adventure, strategy or whatever game set to such qualities that it doesn't get over 40fps or something everything is fine, but when playing some shooters on low detail online.. You really notice it. So if you limit the fps to 30-40 something you'd never notice it? For the pri...
