Re: Silverstone ML05 mini-ITX HTPC case
What's the point of a SFX PSU if the expansion slot is only for trivial things, i.e. not power intensive. This is the kind of case I want, but it needs to support double slotted graphics cards. A TFX PSU would be ideal, supporting a short, regular height card, slotted horizontally with a PCI-E 90-d...

Re: Lian Li PC-Q33
Hi
The PC-Q33 seems to rely on a single rear exhaust fan and uses negative pressure for cooling.
Is it likely that dust will be a real problem with this case, being sucked in through perforations on both sides?
Would anyone care to comment?
PS I hope SPCR will get a chance to review the case.

Re: Gigabyte A75M-UD2H Mainstream FM1 Motherboard
"The new APU is also capable of Dual Graphics, essentially teaming up with a discrete HD 6450, 6570, or 6670 card in CrossFire." If two HD 6450 cards are used (not in CrossFire mode) in the two PCIe x16 slots, how many monitors can be powered under Windows 7, assuming all monitors have DisplayPort/D...

Does the Asus EeeBox EB1021 support dual monitors?
Hi all
Does anyone know whether the Asus EB1021's AMD Fusion platform and Radeon HD 6310 support extended desktop with two monitors using the HDMI and VGA outputs together?
Thanks.

Re: WD10EVDS, new "best" 1TB silent HDD?
I wonder what made the original poster think the WD10EVDS might have just two platters (500GB each). I'd like to know for a fact whether or not they have two or three platters, but I'm aware that sometimes, Western Digital makes it hard to know this information, at least harder to find out than wit...

Re: Intel X25-M 120GB ~$208 ~$1.73/GB SSDSA2MH120G2K5
25nm flash should drop the price vs the 34nm flash in the Intel G2 drives but you'll have to buy a drive at 1.5 to 2x the capacity to get similar write speeds so the comparable drives will be the X25M at 120GB and the Intel SSD 320 at 160GB. If prices for the Intel 320 series are comparable to thos...

Thanks for the prompt and helpful replies, frostedflakes and MikeC. Using two HD5450 (each with a DisplayPort output) is an economical way to drive six displays, but not for gaming. With the half-height brackets supplied, they fit inside the NSK-1480. Anyway, PicoPSU-150-XT should work great with a ...

Hi, all After checking out the Antec NSK1380 for a new build, I decided to investigate whether the NSK1480 would better suit my needs. Upon reading many online reviews (incl.
