If im not mistaken it would weigh about 3.3 times the original if the original was 100% aluminium and the dimensions were identical, based on comparing the density of alumium and copper. The fins are alumium on the normal version, but the base and heatpipes are copper copper as far as i know. They j...

I have the LG in my HTPC and it seems to work fine, no BD movies yet though since i only have HD-DVDs. But those seem to work fine. Noise is normal. Definately a lot quieter than having hte Xbox running... But anything is quieter than that. And i get 24P support(which the xbox doesn't do), though it...

I don't use cutthroats but i do have a couple Merkur adjustables which i use, the Vision and the Progress. I use Feather blades. You definately need some good soap / cream, a brush and possibly some shaving oil, depending on how sensitive your skin is. And an Alum bar / stick is nice to have if you ...

Mr. Jefe is saying that it might not be adequate if you do a lot of gaming running the aforementioned resolution. The 4670 will have no trouble dispaying 1900x1200. Or maybe he's saying something completely different, in which case i'll just have another glass of Ardbeg in preparation of my crucifix...

Ha, ha! There you see the value of branding!

MasterCard had the priceless ads yes, but VISA has the "for everything else there's VISA" thingie.

At least verkkokauppa lets you return pretty much anything you physically picked up at the store. There's some limitations regarding some produts. Something like clothes shops not allowing returns of underwear unless they are defective.. :lol: Some other shops also have better return policies than r...

Erssa--> That's one of the main reasons why i use verkkokauppa.com. I've returned stuff because i thought the quality was poor. Also returned my HDD because the revision was wrong(four platters instead of three). They didn't even ask why i returned it.

Happened to me also.. You need a PH0.

I didn't adjust it. And it is easy to see which hoels to use, just put the cooler on and see which holes align with the holes ont he pcb.. It hsould be the same as for the 3870 though, whichever that was. I left the stock VRM / Ram cooling plate thingie on the card. it cools the VRMs much better tha...

Nono Söderberg - Säkkijärvi Stomp

Didn't someone say they are shipped with no sticker now? Which suggests that the early batches were labeled wrong by Yate-Loon. Which is unfortunate. Still, this reminds me of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoSiE7XtqMc

Viikate - Ah, Ahtaita Aikoja

Anyone know of any good harp music? no vocals preferably. Just a harp.

Well it was flimsy. But at the time 120mm fans were not yet the standard, and it was a very nice case after some damping and suspension. My quietest ever system was in a 3000B. And my first own system was in a 660AMG.

No problemo

The Nexus website for the Clodius says 1000-1700rpm in at least three places. So the fans are exactly as they should be. It's most likely that the OEM has slapped the wrong stickers on them for some reason, but that does not matter since there's not a possibility for you to check the label on the fa...

The R61 is by far the best laptop i have used, the R61 should be better, and the new T400/T500 look even better. LED backlights, 3dB quiter than previous Ts..(from lenovo site) As for realiaility, mine has dropped to the floor several times and still works like a champ. I have also punched the keybo...

Interesting card that Xonar.. I have a HD4870 and the sound over HDMI doesn't work too well. Or it did at first, then it stopped working after resuming from standby. And sometimes it works when playing music, but videos have no sound. It's not a codec issue since analog output works just fine.

Thermalright HR-03

Clean the chips with alcohol, the ramsinks should stick just fine after that.

Sorry about the Atlas, i was tired. The Titan could be made quiet(like pretty much any case), but as a i said i would get a Lian-Li or the Eclipse over this thing since they look better designed in every way. The Lian-Li cases use pretty sturdy aluminium so vibration should not be any worse than a c...

Antec Atlas or Titan would probably work though neither is especially good looking. Then there's Akasa Eclipse, which looks better than either of the Antecs and is a very nice case to work with. Lian-Li also has some nice cases that fit E-ATX mobos, i would probably go with one of them or the Akasa ...

Morcheeba - Otherwise

I agree that it is on the thick side but i wanted to fit a standard ATX mobo and PSU inside it so it was the samllest case that can accomodate those. The S14 does look better no doubt about that. But the S16 is still pretty damn good looking case

I have a OrigenAE S16V, it's a nice case and the build quality is very good. However the first thing i did was rip out the HDD cage. Well loosen some screws and take it out actually. And then i ripped out the pegs it was fastened to.. :lol: I have a single WD GP 3,5" drive under the ODD and it runs ...

I definately agree with you that damping material does not make a huge difference in sound volume in most cases, but it does make the sound smoother and even thinner layers work pretyt well on high frequency noise like HDDs.. But if you have a big case it's easy enough to have thick layers or foam a...

Well there is, but not an easy way. You could use optical detection with a camera or something ismilar, but that's maybe a bit over the top.. Oh and definately check the current rating of the mobo header, that thing probably draws a nice amount of current and you don't want to burn the header.

The S1 is 215mm long. You can put two fans on it but you will have some overlap. I would say it's overkill though.

Anyone that claims damping material raises case temperatures is either talking bullkaka or not doing it right. You might see a few degrees difference, but i've never seen that. And you could also argue that the reduced volume inside the case accelerates airflow, resulting in better cooling.

I would probably have got that intel board if i hadn't altready got the base P5Q in my system. It works just fine, but hte atx connector is in a horrible place on the board, the BIOS is not very user friendly( or just completely different from Phoenix and Award) and it reports temps all wonky, somet...
