Re: Recommend a Silent Mouse and Keyboard?

I love the Topre switches in my HHKB Pro2. Granted, that keyboard's main draw is the layout (which I also love), but the switches are nice if you want something quiet with some feedback. Big difference compared to a true mechanical switch like Cherry or ALPS, though.

Re: Opinions on this fancy Asus board.

I'm actually looking at the Micro ATX version of this board for my build. Would have preferred Mini-ITX, but I wasn't impressed with the C236 chipset boards out there and C232 is missing a few other features I wanted. I think that unless you really want ECC or something else specific to the server c...

Re: best airflow for the smallest (14l) modded mATX case

Aw, okay. I've seen that Rosewill case before but I like the front PSU layout better for some reason. It also seems to be discontinued.

Re: best airflow for the smallest (14l) modded mATX case

Is that available in the US? Do you know under what other names I might find it? I'm not having much...

Re: Preparing for a build in Lian Li PC-Q10

Has anyone tried rotating the CPU cooler so that it pushes air toward the top of the case, rather than the back? With the vented top panel on this case, I think it could work well. You could leave the PSU fan pointing toward the motherboard and it wouldn't be fighting the CPU cooler for air so much.
