I hadn't decided on the finish yet. It will be sitting next to my server, which is an Antec Titan case, so I guess it would be nice to match. What would you call that sort of finish? Semi-gloss?

I wanted to get new doors and a front panel to convert my P180 from the original silver to black. In order to buy the panels from Antec's website and have them shipped would cost almost as much as buying a new P182. So I've decided to paint my existing panels. Now, these panels are aluminum, but I r...

Coolermaster Stacker STC-T01

I can't find that one. Do you have a link?

I was looking at this one:

9 3.5" bays and 6 5.25" bays that I could convert as well.
I've never heard of the brand before; is this new?

The prices of those cases are ridiculous. I'm looking for a "mainstream" case for a lot less money.

I'm looking for a new server case to replace my InWin Q500 24" tower. I'm needing something that will hold a minimum of 8 hard drives, but the more the better. I would like them all to be soft mounted on grommets, like my Antec P180. Other than that, I don't care what it looks like. What should I be...

As far as I know, the power should not be an issue. It's a newish house and I'm using a high-end APC surge protector/power filter and we almost never have blackouts. I'm wondering if I may be drawing too much current in my room. I've got 3 PCs powered-up sometimes, along with a 19" CRT and a 24" LCD...

I purchased an S12-500 with my new system in November, and a week after I bought it, it died. So I got a new one, which was running fine until yesterday...then zap. It would power-on for a second then turn off. I know of the issues with DFI motherboards but I have an Asus A8N-SLI and I haven't seen ...

I'm posting this in a new thread so it doesn't get buried in the discussion about the new door. For Those who have received new doors, have you received a new front panel along with the door? If so, does this new front panel have a magnetic power button with no power symbol on the face of it? Are th...

That's not where I want the fan. Look at nici's pics.

How is that fan secured to the back of the cage? Is it those little black strips I see?

Has anyone tried mounting a fan below the optical drives in the P180? I realize there is the fan bracket attached to the front of the case right below the optical drives, but I want the fan to be closer to the MB chipset and vid card. I want to mount a 120mm fan below the back edge of the optical dr...

Yep.

I don't think I'd want to go near eBay for this, and I guess NewEgg is out as well. I'll look at NCIX and Anitec again and look at those other items.

What about the Zalman NB47J heatsink? Would this be enough to cool that card on its own? Space would not be an issue.

I just built a brand-new silent system based on the P180. Now I want to take the jet-engine out of the old system and make it run quiet as well so I can run them side-by-side and still sleep in that room. The old system is an AthlonXP 1800 based in an In-Win Q500 tower case. So far I've swapped the ...

Well I've been running Prime95 for a while (13 hrs straight overnight and 3-4 hrs at other times) and I haven't had any problems yet. Knock on wood.

Well I exchanged the power supply and the RAM (just in case) and I'm running tests to make sure all is well. I think I'll stress-test it for a few days as well as running numerous diagnostics on various devices.

I was setting up my new silent system (A64 3500), which has had more problems than any other computer I have ever built, I was installing a small app in windows when the screen went black. I thought it had rebooted, but on closer inspection nothing was powered. I tried the power button to turn it on...

Has anyone been able to find a ATX12V 4-pin extension cable in the GVRD? I don't want to buy it online - I'd rather not have to pay shipping, duty, etc. on a $3 part.

Performance. Alpha and Swiftech are constantly battling for first place.

They're also competing for last place on price. Thermalright is much more reasonably priced.

I think the link should be http://www.ncix.com shouldn't it? The .ca link does not seem to be valid.

I was actually about to buy one of those Smart Drive 2002 enclosures until I saw the price. $85 US + shipping + duty etc... That's bullshit! It's an aluminum box, it's not like it comes with a hard drive!
