Just thought I'd express my interest in doing this (dell psu + pw200). First of all, has anyone even done this, or was everyone just talking about it? Reason I ask is I was about to pull the trigger and noticed that the connector for the dell PSU is rectangular, and the connector for the pw200 and r...

Hehe, yeah I hear ya. I guess we can't trust anyone but forum users to actually be thorough with their stuff. Who knew the asus would be a POS and the msi would work so well. Ah well, I've decided to wait for the new socket anyway. Don't really feel like buying 4 sticks of ddr, a 939 mobo and cpu wh...

I'm so glad I wait for reviews before buying things Still, gotta love the people who don't, or we wouldn't know what's up.

*sigh* What year is it again? How long have we had digital displays now?

This is very interesting stuff for anything but gaming. It has no graphics slot. The good thing is it has a PCI slot, not pci-e x1. For $100 more than the shuttle, you get a processor, ram, a 200gb HD, a dvdrw drive, a psu, a modem. By the time you sell what what you dont need, the price becomes pre...

You mean to connect it to a desktop? You would get one of these: http://store.yahoo.com/directron/idesatapower.html

I posted about these same drives a week ago, but it got knocked down to page 2 from a lack of interest. I would hope that silence comes before GB here, regardless of price premiums. http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=25811 I installed it yesterday, just as silent as my 4200rpm toshiba,...

While true that many will be happy with this, and my situation and needs are the minority, the fact is they could have made both of us happy. I mean, PCIex1 over PCI doesn't increase their audience, does it?

Well, the silentdrive is technically for 3.5" drives, but you can use them for laptop drives as well. It's simply a matter of securing them down because the two metal plates are designed to sandwich a taller drive and prevent it from moving around (and dissipate heat). Since laptop drives are smalle...

Just recently these became available for purchase in the U.S. Do a search on pricewatch and you'll find some. I ordered two and will be reporting in about a week or so how they fare in comparison to my good old toshiba 4200rpm MK4025GAS. 5400rpm, sata II, NCQ, and 2.2 bels idle is spec for the 40gb ...

This barebones is likely going to be $500. True, nothing is set in stone, but I think that's accurate considering the niche of a pentium M desktop. That is about 50 percent more than the other already overpriced barebone units. If money was no issue, yeah a lot of people would probably choose this o...

I don't really agree with your logic Aris, except for the fact that they wasted an expansion slot. Let's look at what this shuttle is geared towards... It's way more expensive than their other lines, so it's not really for people who just want to surf. Who would pay premiums to do that? It's not rea...

Unfortunately, that MSI board will not have DVI, but VGA only. That's a deal breaker for me. Know of any other boards coming out that do have DVI?

Wow you are really taken aback by this.... You can wait for the Aopen 915 P-M board listed here ... From my understanding it has PCIe 16x and a PCI slot, although it seems to only feature a 150W PSU... I imagine there will be a full height (SFF height that is) version aswell... Yeah, I'll say. I've...

What an absolute joke. PCIe x1 over PCI for the sole expansion slot? This is just a radical decision that I can't figure out. What PCIe does is negligable over PCI. It's a transition tech. Companies have no friggin reason or desire to pump out stuff for this yet because it's not needed. Put one or t...
