I tried it and it does really work. Even if you live in an apartment I'm sure you can find a place to put your pc in. You just have to be creative. For example one night when my neighbor was out I broke into his room and hid my pc in his closet , I drilled a hole in the wall and ran all the cables t...

Yep dont even think of copying an Apple design , their lawyers will be all over you.

Does the door have to lock? and does the power and reset button have to behind the door? ( personal experience with toddlers yields a definite yes to both) THis one "CaseTek (Black) Super ATX Tower case, Model CK-1018-1A " meets both criteria its availble at new egg for 40 bucks its also one of the ...

I got it from SPCR supporter Exoticpc.com Its the Ahanix brand (mines didnt have any logo on the case -their current one seems to have coolcases printed on the very top) Side windows and multiport card reader are extra. Yes a full ATX mobo will not allow you to use 2 of the 4 top 5.25 bays (at least...

I have the regular version (the one without the HDD selector or sound selector) I'm currently building a p4 system into it. The SE version also includes some extra bits like soft pads that are suppose to dampen vibration and stuff but since i dont have them I cant comment on their usefulness. There ...

A little off topic but does anyone know how to wire a fan so it only turns on after reaching a certain temperature? I was thinking about modding a 2 fan PSU. First I'd replace the main fan with a panaflo undervolted to 5-7 using a resistor. I would like to hook up the second fan to only come on when...

I've thought about using the filling port from a lighter i just dont know what the kind of metal they are made out of and if it can be soldered to copper easily. Other ideas Ive had are fitting some sort of glass sight hole so you could see the level of butane in the pipe. Anyone know of any glass "...

Too bad they wont be carrying the x21 case it looked promising. I wonder what ExoticPc.com found to be "unremarkable ". It cant be worse than most cases out there.Sure it lacks 120mm fan mounts but are they absolutely neccessary for a silentpc? One option I would like to see is an optional 5.25 remo...

Interesting Idea for hard drive silencer -opinions?
Has anyone here tried this idea?
http://www.firstpr.com.au/sys-admin/Silent-Hard-Drive/
looks like it could work maybe with some extra sound proofing lining. How about an aluminum box lined with that block printing rubber and one of those centrifugal blowers running at 5-7 volts?
