Re: Recommended HTPC/NAS case? (>=2 hdd bays, pico powered)
If you have problems finding a vendor that sells the Apex case you could look for Spire SPM210B or Thermaltake Element Q - same case sold with different names.

Re: Sandy Bridge, Part 2: Intel DH67BL & Asus P8H67-M EVO
This is a pretty stupid question but I've not seen the answer anywhere yet, possibly due to my limited attention span: Do these new motherboards have the same heatsink mounting holes as LGA1156 boards? Yes, they have: Despite developing a new socket, Intel took pity on end-users by not changing the...

Re: How loud is a GTX 570?
Ah, nice find! I had forgotten that Scythe were going to release a follow up to the first Setsugen (a cooler which was a disappointment IMO). Here's a review in English, there are some non-english reviews at the product page.

Re: fanless products
I suppose you mean heatpipe-cases where the case itself acts as a heatsink? If so, have a look at the TNN cases from Zalman, such as this one. They list them under "Old Products" though so those cases might not be available anymore.

Fractal Design Define Mini
Fractal Design has a new case out, the Define Mini. It's a smaller version of the Define R2/R3, a case that I didn't really like personally, but as it's not that many good options to choose from when it comes to microATX-cases I think this new case is a lot more interesting.

Re: Recommendations for a NAS Case and Power Supply
I suppose you're looking for a mini-ITX case? If so, there's basically just two cases to choose between if 6 HDD bays is a requirement, the Lian Li PC-Q08 and the Array R2 from Fractal Design.
Edit: Btw, if you have not done so already I'd suggest you read the Silent Home Server Build Guide.

Concerns - Going to SSD I've seen some recommendations that do not seem to make sense: 1. No paging file on the SSD. What?

Re: Ooooooh, shiny new forum!
I think the index pages are quite ok but the overall contrast in threads is too low. There is not enough separation between posts for example. With the previous style the different layout elements was better distinguished from each other, in the current style it's just faint colors and vague borders.

The first G3 drives will be out sometime during the fourth quarter of this year. There will be two G3 X25-V drives; one 80GB, as you wrote, and one 40GB. At least according to the most recently "leaked" roadmap (below), but things might of course change in the coming months. http://www.storagereview...
