The Zalman northbridge cooler is a bit fiddly, i can move it a bit if i jiggle it about. The Zalman northbridge heatsink should be firmly attached to the chipset die; it should not move about if you try and manipulate it with your hand. Use thermal adhesive if necessary in order to ensure a strong ...

You can request a sample through their site. I think its one per household, so i got my friend to get me one too. Surprisingly, the block is the exact same width as a 3.5" drive, and if you flatten the block slightly it will fit snuggly in a 3.5" drive bay. I wonder how this thing compares to drive...

kkzz -Yuppers, that's what I settled on. Saw the reviews and pics of the case and really liked it's potential. It pretty much met what I was looking for except the firewire ports up front BUT it does have the nifty PCI slot at the front so I could probably put a firewire adapter there I think. I li...

Ooopppsss....double post.

Yeah saw the thread. That's kinda how I got my leads. Thanks though.

How about the Akasa Eclipse 62??? Seems like a nice little case. Doesn't have Firewire ports but does have a PCI slot in fornt where I could put a PCI Firewire card if really needed. Any experiences out there with this case?

Oh and the reviews I've seen it in, it was a beautiful case.

ddibley-I had looked at the P150 but with it being a white case.....nah. I don't think I could stand the brightness of it and plus my OD and fan controller are black. Yeah I've read the same points in reviews that you brought up. Both of those cases are nice but each has it's own advatage/disadvanta...

Any Lian Li. A black one if that's what you need, although the silvery ones are more easily available. Lightweight, excellent to work with. You will want to replace or at least undervolt the case fans though, at least I did with my admittedly old PC60something. They're not cheap, though. Yes the Li...

Well I'm in search of a case with these qualities in mind: -Aluminum: For weight...OR something in steel that is lightweight :? -Black finish: Matches decor!! -Good cooling: Not an overclocker, just heavy gaming -Quiet: Not necessarily silent but don't want to sit next to a jet either -2x120mm fans:...

Is that a PCI card below your video card that looks like it's being bent up to fit in the PCI slot?? I used to have the 424 in black...nice cases (very striking resemblance to the Lian-Li aren't they?? ) but I hated that tinny sound of the panels.
