Re: P182, P183 - good for fanless graphics card?

I basically just duct taped a 120mm fan next to my two fanless graphic cards, and it's working very well. I have a P183.

Re: what do you use for a dust filter?

I use the 3M filtrete product designed for air conditioners. I just cut it out and put it behind the existing wire mesh filters in my P183. That way you can vacuum the mesh several times before you need to change the filter. (I use the same method for the air conditioners too.)

Given that the Mini P180 (which is basically a P183 mATX) seems to be going away, I am not sure that this series is going to be updated, or even continued much longer. What?!? I hope not. Perhaps it's just that the P180 is too niche? AFAIAC, the P183 is the best case on earth. The case has potentia...

Idea for next update to P18X line - red LEDs

Hi all, I've lurked on this site for a long time, (tried modding back in 2005 or so, and realized that it's far easier to build a quiet PC from the ground up than silence an inherently noisy machine) and been building silent PCs since 2007 or so thanks to this site. Thanks also to Mike Chin to helpi...

I can see things evolving into people having a dedicated NAS box, a fanless home computer with SSDs, netbooks, laptops. A gaming rig or a workstation if that is what they like or do. Silence is still applicable to the NAS box, the gaming rig, and the workstation. The others are usually silent or nea...

I doubt that they are going to get discontinued, someone will still make 1920x1200. They are awesome in portrait mode for programming. My Samsung SyncMasters draw about 25W with current settings.

Hi there! long time lurker, first time poster

I've been reading this site since about 2005 or earlier, but this is the first time I've posted because I have an idea for SPCR and want to make a topic. Need to post 3 times first though, this is one of them. Am a proud owner of a P182 and a P183. The builds: P182 (the house computer) Silverstone S...
