Re: HTPC Desktop Case & Tower Cooler?
Still haven't found anything, though it occurred to me a 4u rackmount case might work. Been searching but haven't found one I really like. Ideally it wouldn't have a front door and wouldn't be too deep. The shelf it will be on is only 17" deep. I already cut most of the back out so airflow won't be ...

HTPC Desktop Case & Tower Cooler?
Are there any ATX HTPC or desktop style cases with at least 3 external bays and can fit a 120mm tower cooler? Specifically the Xigmatek Gaia, since that's what I have.

The Antec is also a nice case but has only one external drive bay.

Re: HTPC or Desktop Case with 120mm Rear Exhaust
Yes, I found several cases like that, with the 80mm rear exhaust. The 120mm fan is really a deal breaker. I'd be more willing to give up 1 of the external drive bays.

HTPC or Desktop Case with 120mm Rear Exhaust
I'm looking for an ATX HTPC or desktop style case with a 120mm rear exhaust fan, at least (2) external 5.25", (1) external 3.5", (2) internal 3.5" bays and can fit a Xigmatek Gaia tower cooler. Does such a beast even exist?

Need Replacement for Yate Loon 120mm
For over 2 years I've been using (1) Nexus 120mm as my exhaust fan and (2) Yate Loon D12SL as intake and CPU fan. They're not totally silent but quiet enough and I find the type of sound they make innocuous. They've been running pretty much 24/7 and everything was fine until today the CPU fan, which...

The Qpack2 is tempting since it has more room,a 120mm fan and would keep me under budget but I think I may go with the SilverStone SUGO SG02-F case and a Coolmax CU-400B PSU, one of the least expensive modular PSUs I could find. I still need a heatsink though. Silverstone makes one specifically for ...

Cheap, Small, Quiet & Cool
I'm trying to put together a cheap system for a friend and could use some recommendations for a cube style mATX case and a CPU heatsink that will fit in it. I like the look of the Apevia Qpack but the quality of those seems iffy, especially the PSU. I'm trying to keep the total around $250. So far a...

ACK... I just lost all the parts I thought I had. I was supposed to be getting most of them from a dead computer at the office (bad motherboard) which I was told I could have. I FINALLY got my board from ebay, that I didn't think I was going to get because it took 3 weeks to arrive and the tracking ...

Beg, Borrow, Steal... Well not so much borrow or steal.
I'm trying to put together a tower for a friend who can't afford to buy a new system right now. She currently has an 8 year old Dell 4300 that's starting to die on her so just about anything would be an upgrade. I already have most of the parts including a socket 478 800MHz FSB 2.4GHz P4 and (2) 256...

Yate Loon D12SL-12 Noise Recording
Does SPCR have a noise recording for the Yate Loon 1350rpm version of the 120mm D12SL-12? I tried searching but all I could find was the Nexus 1000rpm version of this fan, of course with the same model number.
Anyone know how it compares to the Scythe S-Flex 1600rpm SFF21F?

It seemed unlikely to me as well but the fact they all seem to feel the need to include that note gave me pause. Since I didn't see the warning on Vantec's or Nexus' packaging I asked them directly and they replied... Vantec: The fan vibration dampener kit is only designed to use with case fan, and ...
