The inwin BM series probably would work.

I just ordered a bm643 myself.

it looks pretty small, supports 3.5" drives, and you can put a card reader on it if you use a laptop optical drive (if you use a normal one, no card reader)

the chinese sites seem to indicate those are dual 80mm fans, not 60mm.


i cant read chinese but you see the word 80mm on some of those chinese sites.

your best bet might still be the nsk3480. it can take 2 92mm in front, but not 120...

I don't like the look of that fan. What gives? the wierd thing is, the fan is on the northbridge. the cpu is under that little heatsink. its just a 945g chipset, so i'm assuming theres plenty of passive hetasinks that could have worked (my intel microATX g31 board has no fan and most 945g boards do...

i've had both these cases. well i returned the 4480 (i think it was the 4400 i had though). i've had a nsk3300 and nsk3480 and both are much much better cases than the 4400/4480. they use thicker steel, rubber grommets etc in the 3000 series. a much higher end case. the 4400 is very similar to the u...

There are two steppings for the E2140 given on intels website . Which one will be the latest revision? They are labelled sequentially so L2 is older than M0 as an example. I picked up the CPU yesterday evening and its is SLA93. i have had both the celeron 420 and e2140 and i'd say that 420 will pro...

thanks!

the nsk3480 is not as quiet as the nsk3300. ihave them both. if you want a silent 3480 you'll have to replace the power supply with a quieter one like the neo he

Our local distributor announced avalability of Intel® Entry Storage System SS4200-E - seems to be based on a version of D201GLY with 512MB RAM in a case with a PSU and room for 4x3.5" HDDs. Marketed as a Windows Home Server platform. that is not this board.. http://mswhs.com/2007/10/05/more-info-i...

So when is the D201GLY2 releasing? I haven't seen any new news... And why on earth couldn't they have spent the extra $1.25 (or whatever it costs) to add 1Gb LAN support? Then this would be perfect for a low-powered server! -D well the board is more designed for developing nations, and POS terminal...

Just pointing out that this is a plain 6600, not a 6600GT. Also, even though the 6600 have an SLI connector, I don't think they support the feature. Only 6600GT and "above" cards are capable of SLI. But a great deal nonetheless. A passive 6600 would normally set you back about $100 on NewEgg. I thi...
