shathal: Point taken :D One thing about this case, though, is that regardless, there will be some heat being generated, and so when it rises/leaves the case, cooler air from the outside will be drawn in. So, I'm guessing that it still doesn't prevent dust build up overtime will it? It would be minim...

eh, I think it's pretty cool, even with the high cost. I mean, how many times do you upgrade your case compared to your system? I still have an old mid tower case from 10 years back that's still in use, just pretend you upgraded your whole system and wait 2 years ;) I still don't see why there are s...

Active or Passive PFC?
So is the general thought that for home use, a passive PFC power supply will save more $? (miniscule as it is)
In theory which would actually save more electricity? Not including power line feedback and such...

Would frontal fan help me...?
I have abit of dust collecting near my optical drives (case is 3700amb), and I'm guessing it's because the frontal filter at front is reducing air intake (I blocked the hole at bottom). Would putting a fan behind the filter at the front help suck in enough air to reduce the amount of air being pulle...

Dealing with dust in PSU's?
I'm wondering if any of you have had a large build up of dust in your PSU? Every month or two I usually have to do some fan cleaning as a thin layer of dust/grime/etc build up, and temps slightly increase. Wondering what it's doing with the PSU...

The AK79D-400 Max has alot of features and one of the few to have integrated SATA. The only thing that worries me was HardOCP's review which stated stability problems, even before overclocking. Any thoughts on this? :? http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NTI1 Also, is there any way to calculate ...

Low Voltage CPU
Hello, I've been looking for another CPU/Mobo combo that wouldn't use too much electricity. I'm considering perhaps an AMD Barton 2700+ as they are quite cheap right now and are unlocked. The mobo on my mind is the Albatron KX18D PROII, but I'm not exactly sure of it's undervolting/clocking options....

My current server computer is using an early XP cpu (hmm maybe 1500+?) and had one of those dinky free heatsink/fans on. Case fan is 120mm Panaflo "low" and temps usually range in the low/mid 50's. Even at load it's never gone higher than 65 degrees c, and there's no thermal paste. Running for almos...

Example. There is no question (to my ear, and finger) that the current 120mm Enermax I have in my HTPC is both moving more air AND is more quiet than either 92mm Panaflo M/L I own, at ANY voltage. And based on my previous experience with the 120mm Panaflo L at 5v-- it's quiet, but then again it's m...
