6 x 120mm fans

looks interesting, but all those vents certainly wont be quiet

is what billbuerger is talking about.

"Adblock" is nice too

hopefully this board has decent voltage and overclocking options (pci-e lock, etc) and the "low-cost" is not just relative to server boards.

looks like a contender for the next htpc build

looks like asus has a passive heatpipe nforce4 board http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/tradeshows/2005/Computex/day2/a8nslipremium.jpg and possibly the biggest let down "We mentioned in our first coverage of Shuttle's Pentium M solution at CES that the solution was going to launch with support for...

correct, but from a usability standpoint would you really want to try stuffing drives a rigid tube/box

the price sounds OK, what i got out of it was: $2k for the custom die (used to make the extrusion) then in order to avoid a fee you need to get 1500lbs minimum but the cost is $1.62/lb --- your design does not place the fins in an optimal orientation for passive cooling and would probably still need...

you can try NullPacketStripper for merging .ts streams, not sure about splitting them. for actually editing them, you could try HDTVtoMPEG2 , which can convert the .ts streams into mpeg2 ps (vob i suppose), which can then be edited with standard vob/mpeg2 tools. this forum may be helpful. hdtv2mpeg...

wow, cant believe i am just stumbling on to this thread

great work!

in looking at the IR pictures i wonder if you would get better convection cooling if the unit was flipped 180 deg, so the mobo I/O were on the bottom ...or 90 deg so the cpu was on the bottom

is extruded aluminum really that expensive? no its not, it only looks expensive you make a die, cost 1K - 3K then you buy the extrusion by the foot, usually a 1000ft minumum to be cost effective. the price per foot depends on weight, but usually not much more (% wise) than the cost of the raw mater...

actually the dvi port also outputs an analog signal (same reason you can use a dvi - vga adapter), the software (aka drivers) output a different colorspace. The dongle is nothing special, i soldered my own cable db15 to 3 bnc, it works the same except there are no jumpers to set the resolution, that...

think about what zalman is giving you: passive cool psu passive cool cpu passive cool gpu isolated hd someother junk you probably dont want from the pix, a very thick aluminum vented chassis its gonna be pricey, the question is will they be able to sell enough to to bring the price down and even if ...

Dont claim any guru status in this area at all, but my ATI cards (Rage128 & 9200SE) run just dandy under linux. Both are passive h/s - the 9200SE is w/DVI. Am only running lowish resolution (1024*768) but dont see the point in getting carried away: the UK DVB-T signal is way less than that, but sho...

looks like it uses the same psu concept except it is attached to the side of the case

hexus has a brief report on this new case

good to see more mfgs coming out with passive solutions, hopefully it runs somewhat cool scroll down... http://www.hexus.net/content/reviews/review.php?dXJsX3Jldmlld19JRD0xMDM0 "Also on the XFX stand is the new passively cooled 6600 PCI 128meg, which XFX themselves have clocked up, so you can get I ...

one easy thing you might want to consider is sourcing a removable motherboard tray

if A-tech can manage to fit 80mm rear fans and ful size expansion slots in a case of 14cm in height.................. why can't SS? because A-Tech uses a really thick aluminum chassis with no bends - therefore more room for fans, SS has 3 bends in the steel to keep it from flexing (or bending), a m...

tom's hardware ripped open a Dell XPS v2, pics here http://www6.tomshardware.com/mobile/20050224/dell_xps-04.html The XPS 2 w/ go6800u or i9300 with go6800 (plus other graphics options) seems to be one of the best silent DTRs around, likely cuz Dell got first dibs on the launch.

i dont, but i would refer you to this (long) thread on AVS forums if you have not read it
