I look at my 80mm vantec tornado fans like i look back at bad life choices from highschool...

ati 3870 go

woo happy birthday

why not use thermal adhesive then?

+1 for 3650

cheap and will handle hd media and games very well

I would skip the Noctua's... I have them in my NSK-2480 and they're not as quiet as one would think they should be. qft had 2 of these, but use one now... at full speed this thing is loudest thing in my case, but it's not a bad loud so it's tolerable. Luckily I have a fan controller I have it at lo...

this needs to be availiable in canada =\

the song would probably be entirely cached before it's over anyway

going to do this and/or NAS for next setup

Anyone see these in EU yet?

Are these chips identical?

q9450 and x3350

What are the differences aside from the voltage

best post ever.
thanks op

Here’s how it works. You take a hard drive, you surround it in sponge (or, if you have two hard drives you just put them on top of each other with nothing in between) screw a cheap heatsink to one side and then wrap it up in Velcro. Literally, that’s it. This means your hard drives are never go...

No reason to go S2 at all...

What's wrong with raid0?

do drives fail faster if running in raid0 mode?
i mean if any drive just DIES on me, i'd lose data on that drive anyway... right?

i just double my chances of a hdd failure then

why!?
they just released the orochi!

Looks like Anitec has them for sale now!
Time to go pick one up!

end of march in europe=\

when in canada? D:

Not only is it half the height of other Core 2 stock heatsinks, the fan is actually louder, at least at mid to full speed (E8400 vs. E4400 heatsink). At low speed, you can live with it, but when it ramps up, you'll want to kill yourself. :wink: at times i wonder how i used to live with a 80mm vante...

i think he's talking about horizontal cases

with that said, i use my antec solo on its side!

"i expected it to be more snake like"

I put an Accelero S2 on my 9600XT

I'm sure you can find people selling AC Accelero S1 for ~$20 used.

ncix.com has these in stock and on sale now =)

A compromise would be to use 2x1TB drives in mirror, whatever raid number that is.

looks like you'll have to RMA!

with 4 harddrives in my antec solo, it's a really tight fit because of the placement of the pci-e power connector on my BBA x1950pro


granted, an S1 or S2 would fit easily but it might be tight if you have all your hdd bays full and cables are going everywhere

What are your thoughts on a Silverstone TJ09?

benq x800 is quiet as laptop keyboards

the only problem with it is that it's a curved keyboard...

some people can't stand it, i don't mind it so it's good for me=)
