I'd really like to see someone tear that thing apart and put it in a computer case... somehow. I don't see much benefit to this, but it'd be cool. Watercooling for quiet? Yes that is an interesting idea. And I even see some beneficial aspects. One could mount the insides into an HTPC-case and stack...

Not very good with regular expressions, but: should work.

32-bit colour is actually just 24-bit colour (2^24 = 16.7 million colours) with an extra 8 bits of padding.

It's all about the speed. Why settle for less?

Very nice mod. I'm a little amazed that the heatpipes still worked after all that bending, thought they would break for sure... might be worth getting one o' them HDD coolers after all. :]

Not sure if they're helpful enough though.

So that "advanced cable management" system, is that the hole in the motherboard tray?

I very much doubt that computer ever draws over 200W. In fact, it's probably much less than that... A lot of the PSU calculator pages around the web greatly overestimate the power draw of the components, and in any case it's practically impossible to load everything at once. Not that the Seasonic wa...

Here's the product page: http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=81500 Thanks, no pics of the interior though? :/ Edit: Removable front bezel for easy access to drive bays Now that sounds interesting--Sonata-style drive mounting but with the drive bay the right way around? Edit2: Oh wait,...

I did see it, after creating this thread though. :) I've been pondering a few different cooling solutions, the one in my first post seems like the easiest but also the most expensive and well, a little boring. :P I also had an idea about making some reserator-ish thingy based on what IsaacKuo wrote,...

Hm... ya, putting the TEC on top would be a good idea. Would make the whole thing a little taller, but that probably won't be much of a problem. The reason I'm trying to stay away from making the radiator/waterblock myself is partly because of size, partly because I want to be able to move it easily...

I'm building a TEC cooled mini fridge as a school project, and I'm wondering about the possibility of making it passively watercooled--i.e. mean no fan, and no pump. This is a quick sketch I made, looks like crap but I think it shows the concept at least. :p http://rocklinger.com/dump/bilder/05-09/k...

brynte: The 430W version will be more than enough for your system.

Ya, those. The way you have them mounted they're actually touching the case, which is not really recommended. :p

Nice case... the rubber fan mounts should be on the other way around though.

What, only 5 fans? :p

403mm x 618mm x 51mm, space for 15 120mm fans... per side. Bloody expensive of course, but I'd love to have it for passive water cooling.

Hm. Those are >5€ shipped... maybe 20€ for the kit isn't such a bad price after all. :/ Ya, the EAR mounts are hard to find even here on the civilised side of the Baltic Sea. I just wish Nexus would sell all the components seperately (well maybe not the Nexus(R)-branded tie raps). I don't want to pa...

http://www.nexustek.nl/mountingkit.htm The price is really steep for what you get (at least here in Sweden, ~20€), but the closed-side fan mounts look interesting. Plus you get 20 tie raps! :?

Yeah, but it had been defiled.

You can always make a VGA to SCART adapter if you're handy enough with a soldering iron. Only works with ATI cards though.
(I haven't tried this myself [I didn't even read through that page :P], but afaik it works and people have been getting great results with it. YMMV etc.)

Since I'm too lazy to ever actually build a case myself, I thought I'd share this little idea with you. :) What I've been thinking about is similar to the BTX-like PSU channels, only rotated 90 degrees along it's X axis. A regular PSU duct/channel works great for fanned PSUs, but not very good at al...

I had the same problem with my SL-350S (the PSU that comes w/ the BQE). The store I bought it from refused to take it back though, so I just replaced the PSU fan myself. Doing so voids your warranty of course, but meh. :P

The AS instructions are all online. In your case, here.

Works pretty well. :)

That was back when I had just moved in to the room, and that nice setup only lasted for a few months anyway. Using zip ties was too much of a pain when I had to add or remove some component. :/
Still, id _did_ look pretty nice.

Thanks kloppe exactly the info I needed, btw where did you dig that up? I Googled on the model number of the fan (it's a Top Motor DF1208SH btw). So I'm thinking of putting an L1A without a resistor, being rated 24cfm @~21dba it should be a good compromise of silence and cooling. I recall people re...

The SL350S fan is rated for 41CFM at 34dBA, so the Zalman without the inline resistor would just be pushing less air with just as much noise (36.5 CFM at 34.2 dBA). An L1A @ 5V would probably be a good choise with a PSU duct, but if you don't have one the PSU'll most likely get waay to hot with such...
