Re: Does "Evacuate the heat" role for the PSU work?
Ultimately it's a question of the cooling efficiency of the PSU. You can't really make judgements on the best solution without knowing how much cooling/airflow the PSU actually needs. I'm not clue-y enough about the terms and numbers here to make a qualified statement, but here's what I'm thinking: ...

Re: Silent speakers
I've now read numerous reviews of the Audioengine A2. I give in These are what I'll be buying. No matter that there's only two stores in Aus that sell them. Both on the other side of the country to me.

Thanks for that frenchie. I'm not sure how I missed your thread when I was searching! The audioengine a2's sound like a good option. I'm having trouble sourcing them in Australia though. I'll keep looking. victorhortalives; I won't say money is no object, but I'm not strapped for cash either. My ori...

I can't wait to see a full SPCR review of this case. It may be the case which makes me NOT buy the Silverstone FT02. I love the concepts of FT02, but the Define Mini is half the weight, and I really don't think I need a full ATX MB. Hopefully Fractal Design will be sending a demo case ... Speaking o...
