Very nice build. Looks bit like my Three Hundred, just lesser fans. Thanks for the idea how to mount my HDD. I modified your idea and used the strip my WD 640 GB Black with VibeFixer / NoVibesIII same way you did.

My HDD temps dropped 11 degree's C.

Hi all! I recently got Acer Aspire 7735G + Windows 7 upgrade kit. In vista Acer had powersmart thingies and a button which enabled PowerSaving mode. The Powersmart worked differently in Windows 7 but I'd like to use less cumberstome power saving program other than Acer's own. Acer eMpowering technol...

Japanese and Finnish languange both construct main bi-syllabels / bi-syllabic construction and both languange tend to pronounce syllabels and words as they are written, unlike English for isntant. So I would pronounce it: Kaze. Combining English words Scythe and japanese word Kaze intends to make my...

I expect no 1TB is as quiet as my single platter, but near as quiet would be sifficient. Since my Samsungs have worked well and due problems newest 1TB WD's have, the F2 EcoGreen 1Tb seems like an excellent choice.

Thank you very much, whiic.

Hello everyone! I need new storage drive as my 500 GB storage drive has become full and even when cleaning stuff out its not enough for me (dang digicamera, RAW's eat HDD space so much). I have 500 Gb Samsung EcoGreen which is nice and inaudiable. So I am looking something to be around that quiet wh...

Good that you managed to solve your problem. I am hoping you will post pictures of your computer sometimes in near future in SPCR's gallery section

Hello everyone! I was wondering as Internet security is quite important thing these days and many don't even use most basic security but there's always those who intend to go overboard. When do you think you go too far in internet security? I got homenetwrok with router with iron firewall protecting...

Thank you very much Tzupy for your generosity. World needs more people like you!

As for HTPC: While you gain in CPU power with i3's and Intel, you will lose that in chipsets but any Intel chipset's still are more than sufficient for HTPC actions more than enough. in AMD way you get anything you need for HTPC in chipset's that are better featured and has more properties than Inte...

I installed AC L2 Pro on my HD 4850 which should be hotter than your HD 4770 ever was. I got 30-32degree C idles when fan was 45%

There was some problems in installation. I am sorry to hear that your HD 4770 died.

Cruelty towards any living being is not justifiable... Ever... If you going to fight, better make it fair and square.

Thanks again for excellent review. I hate the fact Prolimatech is continues to supply Intel brackets only with their heatsinks. Perhaps its more efficient to do such thing and sell AM2 separately. However new phenom's are quite popular these days and in here Finland, getting Prolimatech cooler is si...

ces: World was changed people who thought out of box and out of appropriate way. Da Vinci, Einstein, Copernicus, Franklin, Newton etc did all thinking new ways and challenged mainstream thinking. Yeah, I might be mixing various fruits and such, but sometimes correct answer is fruitmix or fruitbowl. ...

Bullfighting doesn't serve any purpuse and its not fair fight "mano a toro" but multiple person against single bull. Bull is going to die anyway so why bother for sadistic display where bull has no change of surviving? Put single man vs. single bull, no helper's and winner walks out of ring free, we...

I don't like it. Why fill it with Bitumen? Seems like a third grade solution... Can't be good for planet earth either. Plus the smell... Bitumen is good, effective vibration reducer and its rather cheap. Get correct bitumen it doesn't smell barely noticable and all smell is gone in few days. Planet...

It is supported by the most fundamental laws of logic, laws of logic that may be even more immutable than laws of physics. It is possible for even the laws of physics to fluctuate from place to place in the universe, but for the laws of logic to fluctuate, you maybe need a different universe. There...

Only avalable slots are PCI-E 1x and 2x PCI's. So in theory hitting something with PCI-E1x compatible might be working. Edit: Wohoo! I found answer: I got now nVidia 7300 LE with Duald DVI. Since I got one PCI-E 1x available, I can throw Club 3D's GF 8400 GS PCI-E 1x card into system. I don't need t...

Alright, the limitations are what they are for HD 5450. I will probably try to get twice the expensive XFX HD 5670 with DVI, DP and HDMI. With three digital output there should be no problem putting all three SyncMaster 913tm's into triple monitor system. I already have DP->DVI converter at my work ...

Nice, then I should look cheapest card with ati eyefinity... HD 5450 sounds nice candidate... and would fit nicely into my boss' concept of medorately priced VGA card... (which I think 5770 is not... especially with new PSU)

Hi all! I couldn't find definitive answer, since I cannot find anything cheap card with either 2x display ports and DVI or 2x DVI's + Display port (cheapest beijgn 5750 / 5770 ) and it would probably go waiste such huge horse power and frankly I want to know if its Doable without card that requires ...

Our Venomous X, Cogage Arrow, Prolimatech Megashadow and Noctua NH-D14 review is up: http://lab501.ro/racire/thermalright-prolimatech-si-noctua-batalia-titanilor Romanian, google translate required. Oh, nice, thank you very much! It seems like Therlmaright Venomous X is very good low rpm heatsink i...

He is, with very twisted sense of humor I might say

This is not something I'll build for myself. This is something that is build for company. As much as I love researching parts, spec-ing builds and building, as soon as someone asks for build advice for a coporate setting, I say stop. DIY in a corp environment may seem like a cost-saver, but all sup...

Also question, are fan controllers worthwhile these days, and what is a decent model, if so? I think they are. Check Scythe Kaze-Q 4-channel 3,5" fan control. Its dialing range goes from 5v to 12v. Its good no BS fan controller without bling and extra and it does it job well while not ruining your ...

If you are adding u-channel around the edges, a little bit of roughness left on the edges helps to keep the u-channel in place. Untill you mentioned it, I'd never heard of u-channel, lol. I'll see if I can source some and how much it costs. I'm guessing it's not essential to use it, but having quic...

Initially before spotting trouble: My system hanged in games and everything were very slow prior system crashed in BSoD and XP couldn't start but crashed BSoD everytime. After re-plugging and defragging XP partition from Win 7 and Vice Versa, things seem to work... Windows Defraction tool did said t...

Hi all! I had today one of those freak accidents I can only blame myself. In Short of it. CCFL inverted on came loose and dislodged my HDD without my noticing. I got some unable of read data sectors in Windows on diagnose tools. How bad my situation can be? Has the partially dislodged sata cable cau...

Mr Murphy and his law are close acquaintance of mine. Today I had interesting misfortune happened. I have in my game rig bitumen coated roof and I placed a CCF inverte there via self adhessive velcro piece. Today the inverted dropped and made "Tarzan's" by hanging on the cord and knocked in my HDD's...

I have Asperger's... it's not about "winning" the genetic lotto. Combine Asthma, Dysgrammatism\Dyslexia, poor eyesight and things like that with the Asperger's and ADHD-PI/ADD and whatever... I do feel like I wan in genetic lotto a lot poor genes ^^ but perhaps with those I have ability to think ou...

Thanks andy and Tzupy, I got some researching to do. You cannot really expect any medical break thru's from Doctor who works for community and not prized private or national research hospital. Andy, that article and cyberchondriacs was great. Thank you. Infact that doctor confirmed 3 weeks ago my As...
