Two cases that are <15" Deep and would look good in an AV rack: Silverstone LC04 Monueual 312 I think Lian-Li has a couple as well. I like the dimensions of the LC04, but I do not think it is made to fit a ITX-mini. Am I correct? Also, I wander how well the tuner card would fit do to it needing an ...

[Yes, it is because the depth is too deep. Those cases are too long/deep for my entertainment center. The face would hang out the front. I really like those boxes; I just wish they sold one that was 15" or less. Because I REALLY like that case. Two cases that are <15" Deep and would look good in an...

A retail CPU (Part number preceded by BOX...) comes with a heatsink. This is quiet enough for some, but you may want to replace it. If you do, be very careful that the replacement will fit in the case. I don't know if the memory slots on that board are spaced as close together as my DG45FC, but if t...

One I would like to try is the Silverstone LC04. Very dificult to find in Canada (at least in black). It would match up with my audio equipment and fit on my audio rack. I am not a video/multichannel guy, but I don't think video/multichannel components are 16-17" deep, and that racks/cabinets would ...

....they tend to come with noisy TFX PSU. I have an older Silverstone ENP-2224B PSU, as well as a new Seasonic SS-300TFX and neither is noisy. Even if they where, it is a problem easily solved with a fan swap. I guess these things are always relative. The problem with TFX is they tend to use 80mm f...

My advice is to buy the biggest case with the biggest fans that you can fit into your cabinet. My Brother-in-Law had an LC11 in his cabinet - the fans where all maxing out (very noisy) and he was still having cooling problems. I let him have my LC17 and now there are no problems at all cooling the s...

Just wanted to know the progress of this build. I just moved my music server onto my Audio Stand and the LC11s is too deep and, well, silver. I'm thinking of getting a LC04 myself and wanted to know what CPU cooler was used in the end. I am not sure the Nexus Low I am using now would fit. I swear I ...

I have eSATA on both my systems so that I can use an external eSATA hard drive for backup. Both systems are Windows XP.

@Riffer: Use a metal file to form the heatsink around surface components that get in the way. For example, use a rat tail (round file) to grind away and get around that electrolytic capacitor. Use a flat file or dremel for the edges that might touch components surrounding the base of the heatsink. ...
