The ST45SF-G is 125x63.5x100mm. You have the Shuttle, figure it out

I thing even to wait for haswell, but case is something that can be bought before. Haswell is gonna be out between March and June 2013, I'd calculate with June to be sure. That's a looong time. Even if cases don't go bad, there's a good chance that by that time a few new spiffy ones will be around....

Andrew Jackson's forced migration of the Indians to Oklahoma was a direct contradiction to a US Supreme Court ruling on the matter, and Congress had nothing to do with it. It was a flagrant disregard for the rule of law This is just embarassing. For many posts you insisted that something like Hitle...

I don't think all Europeans are brainwashed Only the ones who disagree with you. US President Andrew Jackson, an Indian hater who was largely responsible for the Trail of Tears where 4,000 Indians died while being relocated to Oklahoma, was the first member of the Democratic Party to be elected pre...

These tech demos they've released seem to be a bit full of it. Essentially, they are promising the end of graphical evolution. Having unlimited "atoms" means being able to display everything and anything. When they say "unlimited", they are definitely disingenious. I agree with Notch's assessment th...

Where does it say that the rule of law, the government of laws not men, is only achieved by the US system? How is a parliamentary democracy not the rule of law? You do realize that Wilson was referring to a different UK than today's, don't you? Stereoypically American to think you have a monopoly on...

It is amazing that a German (from West or East) would speak about human rights and criticize the US. Although it is sometimes quite hot in Gitmo, and prisoners probably don’t have air conditioning, they don’t have gas chambers or gulags either. Germany doesn't have gas chambers anymore. The United ...

No regular PC will draw 300w of power all the time. Even multi-GPU overclocked abominations will struggle to hit 200w when not stressed (called idle). Depending on the CPU you use, your PC (with integrated graphics) should idle between 50-100 watts and between 75-150 watts on load. How much time it ...

The US is a society of laws, not men. I don't expect you to understand that, because you are accustomed to a parliamentary form of government and you have been brainwashed by the left. Quoted for hilarity. I can understand to some degree why Germans may be concerned about US foreign policy, but thi...

I don't expect you to understand this, or to agree with me, but the reason the US has never had a Hitler or Stalin has nothing to do with Americans being better than other people, or wiser than other people, it has to do with the structure of their laws and institutions, and the tradition of adheri...

Yeah, you're right ces, the group of people who are considering to buy a dual-core SB i3 right now instead of waiting for IB is large enough to warrant totally mislabeling this topic.

Calling this topic "Win8 2D performance better with Ivy Bridge" would just not cut it. Too specific and all.

The US has a system of check and balances, and the US Supreme Court can overrule both the legislative and executive branches of government in accordance with the principles of liberty and freedom as enumerated in the US Constitution. What do you do when somebody like Hitler is elected president, ce...

The title of this tread is seriously misleading. I'm pretty sure most everybody expects something about CPU-core-scaling and not about Intel's HD2000/HD3000 IGPs and it's speculative lack of acceleration in Windows 8, which doesn't concern people: - who'll stick with Windows 7 - who'll stick with Li...

There is no specific mention of the Communist Party in the law. It is still against the law today (AFAIK) to advocate the overthrow of the US Government by force. In many countries today, even what we consider to be advanced countries in the EU, specific named political parties are illegal per se ,...

it was still never illegal to be a Communist. Yes, there were blacklists, just like the Chick-fil-a restaurant chain is now getting black-listed now by some because its founder and CEO opposes gay marriage. From the wikipedia article on "McCarthyism": By 1957, 140 leaders and members of the Communi...

Unfortunately, some people apparently have no intellectual outlets outside of this forum, and think that this should be the place where all of the problems of the world should be discussed and solved. There also seems to be lack of understanding about private vs public property, and how freedom of ...

The European Union is not a democracy. There are elections for the European Parliament and the European Commission is chosen by the democratically elected officials of the nation states. It's just that nobody cares. Everything the European Commission does it approved by the elected officials of the ...

To be honest, you should not have a passive video card in a Shuttle cube. Sandwhiched against the side panel, there is nowhere for the heat to go and in those cubes, it receives almost no airflow, esp. if the CPU fan spins slowly. Sell that replacement GT 430 on ebay and buy a card with a fan. It wo...

I do run an overclocked i7 3930k at 4.4ghz, which idles at 35-41 degrees Celsius , 60-65 under full core load, on the Noctua NH-D14, with Intel speed step and C1E off But it's winter right now 10-15 degrees ambient. I will be going back to my i7 970 6 core system which runs much cooler for some rea...

The best quiet and inexpensive PSUs are probably those from Be Quiet! though I've never used one myself, they have a great reputation. PSUs that are guaranteed to be silent, like Seasonic X-..., Enermax Modu87+ or Superflower GoldenKing are all in the 100+ Euro range, which makes them probably too e...

As being one to have posted in the mentioned thread, i'm not sure if it's wise to post here, but i'll take the risk: Everyone has the right to have his own opinion. Everyone has the right to disagree. Everyone has the right to tell me, i'm wrong. But if you start insulting and disrespecting me befo...

A good site for questions like this is hardforum.com If you google "[your case] hardforum" you will almost always find a long thread on any case, usually with plenty of user pictures and lots of discussion about which components fit physically and thermically. SPCR has too small a community for thin...

The games you listed are so old, that the IGP (integrated Graphics) of a Sandy Bridge CPU will have no problems with it. And just about every mainboard (be it mITX, mATX or full ATX) has a 16x PCI-E slot, so you can add a graphics card when you need it. Because that is when you want to buy a new gra...

I just bought one of these too. Very flimsy feeling from the factory compared to Antec cases. I put some sound insulation in mine and doubled the weight (feels like it). And that might be the reason. I appreciate a light case that is more easily carryable. I don't know what you people do with your ...

The CPU difference can easily be drastically reduced my making the G620 as slow as the G620T. The G620 mostly consumes more because of the higher clock. In many cases, it's probably possible to reduce the GPU difference as well (see above). Yeah. With the T and S series, Intel marketing is successf...

Hm, I don't know. The scenario you described with just a few background processes should not bog down a modern dual-core CPU (and your T6500 is one). The next time your system appears sluggish, open the task manager, sort the list of open applications in descending order by the CPU load and find out...

You still weren't entirely specific what you want. Office/Latex needs next to no CPU power, are you unhappy with the T6500's performance in those kinds of applications? What do you mean with games like COD4? As old as CoD4 or the same genre - which could include Battlefield 3. Also, how much image q...

My GT doesn't have this problem.

What my "research" (i.e. anecdotal evidence) shows is that fans seem to be the most heterogenous parts in the IT industry. Even with the best fans out there, you have (fantasy stat) 1 in 3 chance that you get one that hums, buzzes, whines, ticks or something else.
