I like it. Aluminum is a good choice with the 5 heatpipes. I did notice that in the "preview" test setup it appears to be mounted upside down on the motherboard. It would have probably worked even better with the curve of the heatpipes at orientated to the bottom or side of the case. Even with an in...

You can try sekisui 5760

I've purchased from the folks in the link, there're OK.

That puppy would really move some air through my chevette heater core

Thanks bcassell, I did a search in the forums and didn't get a return on the model number.

I looked at a Antec SLK2650-BQE at Compusa today. Interesting little case. Appears to be a steel variant of the orginal Lanboy improved with a 120mm rear fan, side door air guide to cpu, rubber mounts for 2 HD's. Is anyone here currently using the SLK2650-BQE? I have an orginal Lanboy (blue light po...

Hey, I have one of those

Thank you Stevo.

I can lock the pci bus speed so it looks like I'll have to get a pci RAID card so I can have my cake and eat it too. At least the mobo/cpu was inexpensive.

BTW the bottom end Prescott seems to like chewing on gromacs at stock speed can't wait to see what it'll do @ 3ghz

Interesting. I'm running the toasty lil' prescott on an MSI PT880 Neo. Highly unstable out of the box with the prescott. Updated the bios and works fine now. Overclocks like a beast, however, the SATA drives vanish when overclocking which doesn't make sense to me :? maybe someone has a clue as to wh...

Extra fan mounts, to me anyway, are handy whether you put a fan in them or not, notice how many folks duct the cpu? and it's easier to cover up a hole than to make a hole.

Hey mas92264, what mobo are you running the 2.4A Prescott on?

Just a note: Compusa used to sell a 5 fan version, PC-82com, but has discontinued it. It had the usual 2 front, one top fans and 2 on the motherboard tray as well as a window side door and a different front trim than the regular PC-60. I wish I'd got one :( because I always liked the PC-60 design an...

you can get a quart of acetone at the local hardware store.

use it in a well ventilated area or you're in for a real headache.

I've talked directly to PC Power & Cooling, nice folks but if you want any custom options it's very expensive unless you're ordering 1000+ units.

I bought the Ford (Antec) instead of the Rolls (PC P&C)

Maybe this: Intel tested chassis and power supply page will help. Scroll down for the power supplies. Follow the links to the whitepapers on the latest ATX12V specs. Latest spec ATX powersupplies are usually backwards compatible. Stay away from the Prescott unless you want to turn your machine into ...

What's so bad about TT again please? Whiney/noisey fans. In-efficient: gets hot and shuts down due to overheating because the internal fan override fails to operate. Poor quality control: flimsy cable ends that pull off. Unstable even with a moderately loaded P4 system. Forget any overclocking adve...

I have a Tt 480w "silent purepower" and it is a gen-u-wine POS!

It's been replaced by an Antec True430. Not silent but quiet enough for my mission and I like the fan only power leads.

"a picture is worth a thousand words"

Very interesting.

It probably would do better in a passive config with out the fan shroud.

Do any of you know how much "off" the cpu temp reading of MSI P4 boards is?

The question you have to ask yourself is: what's more important? performance or noise

Performance.

Framerate is life.

I have a Tt 480w powersupply (un-modded) and it sometimes fails to override the manual fan setting causing it overheat and shut down under load with the exhaust fan manually set to the lowest setting. For the record, this started happening when I switched from an AMD Athlon XP to a P4 Prescott, adde...

I think that's the best looking HSF mod I've ever seen. Very clean and industrial. That would really brighten up my all copper Zalman.

just do a google search "radeon 9600" review and pay attention to the clock rates of the video card, and the CPU/mobo that it is installed in.

cute.

NOTE: Keep in mind that in typical usage, most systems draw only 100~200W in AC.

That is the case with my system right now. My antique meter works

It might seem a bit off topic but this discussion got me curious.

Thanks for the info guys.

I find this very interesting. I don't have a kill-a-watt meter but I do have a Maytag volt-watt meter, model no. 38519. Quoting the manual "The Maytag No. 38519 volt-wattmeter is made up of two seperate indicating meters combined into one compact instrument. On the left is an iron-vane-movement volt...

Let's talk frames per second, what are you getting out of that 9600 during games and benchmarks Wumpus?

Other places to search:

Recreational Vehicle dealer/repair shop.

Watercraft (boats) dealer/repair shop.

Local plumbers.

Hardware stores have these kinds of connections, usually in brass or nylon. I prefer nylon hose barbs.

Be sure to put teflon tape or non permant liquid thread sealer on the threads of the connections to prevent leaks.

Anyone used MSI bundled SATA cables???

Good one
