I was reading the THG article regarding the 9100e and was shocked to see that the power consumption of the 6600 is the same as the 9450. Here is the page in question. I was expecting something like 4w. I know the thg articles are rubbish and was wondering has anyone measured the idle power of the 94...

What about a USB flash disk with somewhat better performance like a Transcend Jetflash. In this review it seems it's not that far off from some of the SSD and the price is MUCH lower. I think in terms of future-proof the ability to use USB sticks as main drives is pretty safe... I see it implemented...

Because SPCR has the T version I'm even more interested in derekva's board because I can't find the T near me or anywhere that will ship it here.

Can it boot from a usb stick? (for total silence -finally-)

I really need to know before I buy it. Video decoding.. how far does it work? can you please test some 720p 1080p? H264, VC1, anything would be useful. Eventually it would be nice to know if the 1.2 to 1.33 ghz would be a step-up that would allow it to stepup in a benchmark but that would be after t...

For fans look in the Reference / Recommended section.
I would personally use speedfan because it does just what those fan controllers are doing but with less "bling" on the case which I prefer.

Any hope we'll see a SPCR review this november? If it comes much later I think I'll order it now...

Any idea if the cpu it can handle 720p?

Google-ing revealed very little information. I understand it has a lower freq that the first one but faster.. ok I can live with that but I intend to use it as a media pc in spite of only the vga output so I need it to decode 720p (1080 would be ideal).

you have some electro-magnetic radiations ... at least from the coils in the psu so I think some (insignificant) amount of energy is EM emission.

The cooler is big but it's just right for this case I think. I thought it wouldn't fit because of the beam that sits just above the cpu. I could only put the thing inside with the cooler already mounted on the case because of it. Well, I forgot to say anything about the temperatures (or maybe just o...

It's already undervolted but it didn't make much of a difference

The system components are as follows:

Asus P5W-DH
TeamElite 2x1GB
C2D E6600 ES
Sapphire 1900XT-CF
Terratec 5.1 Space
Cheap tuner
Seagate 250gb boxed in a homebrew enclosure
Samsung DVDRW

Since it's not all complete yet I'm not sure it is the best place to post it but... here it goes: I ordered the parts for a new computer and thought of transfering the old ones I had running in a watercooled system to a aircooled one. I had a Silverstone LC13S I used on a dual-amd and thought it wou...

From the pictures with the cooler mounted in the case, it seems that it goes over the mainboard a little, (seems like 1cm) in the direction of the fans. Is this true? One of the computers I intend to use it on is in a silverstone LC13 and the PSU is very close to the mainboard. I initially figured t...

Wow, the date is changing... I guess it's a work in progress, though I personally can't find the differences.

First of all, I've been waiting for this review for quite a while, so thank you! Mini ninja review Why isn't the Mini Ninja review on the main page? I noticed it has a 09/02 date. I would like a place to comment the review. Once again, a great review! EDIT BY ADMIN: IT's now officially posted and li...

Thank you for the warning. I didn't think about that because I currently cool a 1900xt with a normal asetek waterblock and several of those blue memory-coolers from zalman that would fit just fine. Now that you mentioned it, I find it a big problem. I can't find any waterblocks for 8800gts/gtx that ...

Curentlly my watercooled computer does not have a case. It is about to be moved in a more "minimalist" room, so i need it to put it in a sharp looking case. My thought was that I put the computer in one case and the radiator, pump, and tank in a second case below the computer, so I would have 2 Ante...

the idea was not to use a case at all and have all the comp passively cooled. another thing I thought was that I use two or three zalman 6500BAlCu vertically on a copper base and hope to get enough natural convection for passive cooling, but that costs a lot here (35$ for each). I'll build the hair ...

here is an idea i've had for quite some time now. I'm trying to find a way to cool my cpu without any fan and since welding copper plates to a base was a little hard for me, I thought about maximizing the surface... then I thought of making like a copper wig for it. One of the problems I'm thinking ...
