I thought you did a very good job with the review. Not exactly typical SPCR material, and I expected to see the usual silencer rig in there. Was it this forum that had someone who went and sketched an idea for a similarly rotated case a few months back? The issue with the adapters is the only proble...

Hudda you are aware that the large fan on the inside of the PSUs is an intake, right? it sucks air into the PSU. Same with 80mm PSUs, they take air from inside the case and expel it out the back. Be mindful of how much noise you make on this forum, I've had a few posters jump on me for daring to run...

The silliest part about the whole thing is the reds knew it was going to happen and set it up like a timed explosive to blow just after they lost power. Now they sit around saying the Democrats did all of it and our moronic population believes them. I sat there as it went down saying to friends/fami...

Neil, throwing gasoline on the structure fire is quite a questionable act. I do believe you're complicit in arson.

I don't believe the problem is with the tool, but rather with the culture. American pop culture is full of firearms being used for harmful purposes. 50 Cent brags about how many times he's been shot. All kinds of popular rap talks about Gats and countless other slang terms for guns, and foolish kids...

I will note that I included Cheney and his lawyer in parentheses. John Yoo stands out because he's the most obvious and assailable lapdog. Whether or not Bush puppeted for Cheney, his lawyer, Karl Rove and the "secret society" is pretty much irrelevant because as a former President he's virtually im...

The simple fact is a large large (majority?) of Americans are too stupid to care about the future. We really should take that defense budget and funnel it into education, because our economy is a service economy which revolves around *providing services others want*. As much as "Buy American" is pat...

Honestly, as much as I believe Bush (and Cheney/Addington? Paddington? his attack dog) did more damage to the country then had been managed since 1812, I do think he thought what he was doing was right. Just like the Canadian Greyhound murderer thought God told him to chop off the head of the dude l...

I've used multiple Asus and Gigabyte boards. Asus is more feature heavy, but all of my Asus boards have had a variety of minor failures (early SLI board lost the primary PCI-E, second lost a few USB and one of the network ports). My Gigabyte board is a tank and still runs to this day, many years aft...

Hey bud no need to get snarky on me. The noise was unexpected considering the reviews of the Modu said it was quite quiet. I'm happy though because my computer has stopped freezing every 30seconds or so. If you had to deal with that for 3 months you'd take a jet engine in your case too. If I had mon...

I think you all should lighten up and get outside a lot! You'd see reality with your eyes. We got snow this morning here in Eastern WA, US. It was a big time surprise, because for the last two days it's been pushing the 50s. For reference, two years ago it was 20-low 30s during february. Also, ask a...

Just hooked up a new Enermax Revolution!
Here's a small review. Variant is the 850W. 1. This thing is HEAVY. And massive. It's much bigger and heavier then my 900W OCZ that it replaced. 2. Cables galore, they're very long (I would say maybe 3-4" longer then the same on OCZ). All the SATA connecters are crimp type and removable making it a ...

I've been using Enermax for years. The PSU coming to replace my garbage OCZ unit (whaddayaknow, first non-Enermax I buy is bunk) is a revolution 850. I highly doubt you need 850W, I'd be inclined to get the Modu82 625W and be chill with that. I have nothing against Seasonic, I just love Enermax :lol:

You say that - do you have a high performance PC? I know I know you can't have your cake and eat it too - but you can. My box isn't silent, but it's nowhere near as loud as you seem to infer power builders deserve. As for builds that require Nehalem, I agree fully. The PC just doesn't benefit enough...

from what I've heard since, the selection of their ballistix 800 that they up-clocked to make their ballistix 1066 was almost entirely bad. Their support was fine, they gave me an RMA number but I didn't want to waste my time getting another crap kit back in the mail. I went to a smaller company, GE...

Flaming bad experience - exactly 62 days after purchase (2 days outside product switch window!) started BSODing every 3-4mins of uptime. Memtest86 failed on launch and would generally crash the computer as well. After I bought the ram, it had 286 negative reviews in a row on NewEgg, and was finally ...

jamppa, from what little I know of Europe, "long distance" has a totally different meaning over there. When I lived on the East Coast, I could travel through 4-5 states in a day, no sweat - driving at 60mph (hopefully). Here in Washington State, from my home to my school is ~6 hours on the road at 7...
