I just wonder why they're even bothering... Have a look at their HFX mini case. It's so small an ATX PSU won't fit. When a company needs to have such a powersupply for one of their cases, it's a small step to sell them separately. Especially since there has been demand for something like this for s...

I've read claims that birth control merely leads to increased promiscuity with the same amount of pregnancies. Yes, I've read that argument too. It is usually used by right wing christians in the US who think that telling teenagers not to have sex before mariage actually works. :roll: As if modern ...

If pregnancies could be controlled then that could be a solution I suppose. OK, I knew the US government is quite dumb in its present stance about this, but I didn't know they had erased all knowledge about this subject "over there".

That's another advantage of bottom to top airflow [...], that is the fact that high frequencies don't go around corners well. They are very directional. So if they can only escape from the bottom or top, even better. This is exactly one of the reasons why a top blow hole is a bad idea. The top of t...

The PSU probably doesn't need the heatpipe thing. Somebody at the marketing department saw that empty spot that most 120mm fanned PSU's have, because they use the same PCB's as 80mm fanned PSU's. Then he thought; what to do with it that makes us stand out. Yes, let's do something with heatpipes, bec...

A 330 is more than adequate. (See the SS-301HT in my sig, which is the OEM version of it.) But in most shops the price difference between the 330 and the 380 is minimal. There are even a lot of shops (of the ones who sell seasonics) that don't even have the 330. The 330 has slightly smaller heatsink...

Re: Arctic Cooling freezer 7 pro
The freezer 7 pro is the noisiest thing in my system. I think it runs at full fan speed. Is this true? You and the other people in the same room with that computer are the only ones who can hear that. Is it not temp controlled? It's not temp controlled by anything in the heatsink/fan. Is there any ...

Europe is still a lot of different countries. There is no big supplier that serves them all. (Some specialists do, but...) So disclosing in which part of Europe you live is probably wise.

People at SPCR are, as a collective (and even some individuals), pretty smart. If moving hot air horizontally was really that ineffective as you think it is, then you would see lots of inventive modding idea's to use only vertical airflow paths. They are not here.

Re: Form Factor changes that need to be done
1. All powersupplies need to be removed from the enclosures, and made into external single voltage (preferably a standard like 12v) ac/dc adapters. Let the motherboard manufacturers determine what voltages it needs. As for 5v lines for hard drives n stuff, just have motherboard manufacturers put a ...

Wowies... Seasonic REALLY shot themselves in the foot on the release of the M-12. I think even non-advertising and business majors could agree. Not really, they hardly nicked the nail of their tiny toe when they were shooting down this time. Don't forget that for Seasonic the retail market is not t...

My guess is that the guy behind the Hoojum was majorly screwed by VIA keeping postponing the nano-ITX. He had a case for it designed and a prototype made. (It was showcased by VIA on some fair in Taiwan ages ago.) It's probably cost him enough money. For a single person home business these things ge...
