Mike, thanks for the suggestions. Keep up the good work.

Cheers

Great article, I had the SilentMaxx350, well, actually two over 3 years. The first one died (silently :) and was replaced by a second from the company that eventually started producing black smoke when one of the ceramic capacitors burned through its 105C pvc sleeve (surprising, it still worked whil...

In the chart on the bottom of Page 5, does anyone else using firefox get blank boxes in the first column? I have to read it in IE.... Good work on the review. Enermax is a lot more readily available where I life than Nexus or even Seasonic. Good to know there are choices. Although going forward, I'm...

Upgraded an HTPC with Intel DG45ID E4200 2gb Ram WD500gb drive from Vista HP to Win7 Pro (clean install). Three things have been good: (i) all devices worked with drivers installed by Win7 right off the bat; (ii) networking works (haven't even tried Homegroup but even just setting the network to a p...

Back in working order. What I've done is added a second external brick power supply http://usb.brando.com/hard-drive-power-supply_p00369c032d015.html solely to power the Blu-ray and the internal 3.5" hdd. This takes enough load off the Logic Supply Power Kit to make whole PC run normally. It's inele...

I am now getting the PC to boot with the LG drive attached using a 90degree SATA cable. Perhaps because I have it running in a very small case, the straight SATA cables would cause the PC to not post or to power-down randomly. I am not having stability problems with the PC under load anymore, on the...

Thanks, ok so, the 12V output... how much power do I need? I am still hoping it's possible to stay with an external brick psu...

Are there any available that would do the job?

Hope you find a good solution that I can then try to replicate :) I like the Psile case too and have been considering it for an HTPC build. But reading your posts on the cooling issues (4 fans!), the difficulty of fitting in the Mini Ninja and (for me) the added cost of a slot-load blu-ray drive, I ...

Glad this got fixed for you. I am having this exact problem. I have set the HDD to the first boot device and the PC will now power up with a new SATA cable on a different SATA port. But the PC will shutdown anytime I put a disk into the LG drive. Or at startup, with a disk in the drive, it won't get...

Hi everyone, I am looking for some help. I am using the Logic Supply Morex Powerkit 150W to power the following system, which runs Vista fine for everything (including playing a ripped Blu-ray image) UNTIL the Blu-ray drive spins up to read any disk, in which case the entire PC will simply shutdown....
