Good idea on the Xigmatek, seems to be recommended all around so I'll go for it. I was thinking of getting the ATI 4870X2 when it comes out, only problem is, what aftermarket heatsinks can handle the dual-cores? For the price, it is about the same as two 4870's and initial previews are great. Anyone...

Looking to build a new quiet computer - recommendations?
Hello all, I've been out of the loop for a while but I'd like to build a new quiet desktop gaming rig that can adequately play games and watch movies on my monitors. Main limitations are my Dell 3007 and a secondary Dell 2405 so I'll probably need dual video cards. I have no idea where to start so a...

What i hate about it is the consumerist phallus compensation mentality that makes people pursue these kinds of monster earth wasters. I equally loathe those who drive Hummers, doubly so on metropolitan roads. I agree, that said; I equally loathe the companies for manufacturing these monsters that n...

I actually ordered a Thermalright V1 Ultra because the mounting system looks very flexible: http://www.bigbruin.com/reviews05/imageview.php?item=v1ultra&file=pic20.jpg To cover the RAM, Zalman has the low-profile RAM sinks that come with the VNF100 and can be purchased separately. Finally, the 7900 ...

Actually the word is that the Accelero S2 will fit but I can't find a single confirmation of this. They are all claiming that it would fit before the it was actually released. Also, if the Accelero S2 fits how do you cool the HSI? Here is a company that claims it fits the 7800 GS, which is basically...

Wow, thanks for the information. Looks like dual core is in my future... as of now I'm still waiting for this old thing to churn out numbers ... But, how's the Conroe in terms of silent computing? That's the main reason I'm asking it here, on spcr. I just wonder with these new video cards... will th...

stromgald: Although my memory usage peaks 750MB when the PC is number crunching, I haven't found a shortage for it just yet. Also, I don't have a cooling problem?

THE end all most quiet keyboard EVER! (from IBM nonetheless)
So I've been through about 10 keyboards in search of the quietest. Ranging from the $20 Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000, which has been my primary keyboard for a while, to the $120 Logitech diNovo. I decided to get the IBM ThinkPlus Enhanced Performance USB Keyboard . This is by far the quietest keyboa...

Lian Li V600
Has anyone seen this new Lian Li V600? It looks very fun, and presumably quiet. Maybe I'll redo my system with one of these puppies: http://www.techzine.nl/uploaded/31617_b1de1cd5.jpg Review It's just a shrunken V1000, but the V1000 is a little too big for me. Hopefully, it can disappate heat fast e...

I dont like the Comfort Edition anymore. Reason: while playing games you often need to hold down one or several keysfor a long time, like when walking or driving, this f*cker has some "feature" wich works so that you stop walking every10seconds or so. I didnt find any settings to disable this "feat...

Picked up a Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 today at CompUSA. This keyboard is the quietest keyboard I have used out of the 10 or so I have owned. It really differentiates itself in that it has a very muffled sound, unlike the laptop-style keyboards (UltraX included) which have a very "clickety" high-p...

That looks like a great keyboard... where can I get one? Although, the right shift key does look like it could be a nuisance. Edit: It's called a Logitech UltraFlat Dark Shine and it's on the Logitech Japan site. Also, it has a complement called the Light Pearl. Still no dice on where to buy in the ...
