I purchased a Lancool case a good 2+ years ago but since it has been discontinued (at least in the US) it has been pretty hard finding the side panel for it. Every few months I check and I can only find AU sites still selling them. I believe I have the K58 model, but I'm pretty sure the panels...

Do you still have the photojojo lenses available?

FYI, the deal isn't 100% dead yet. It showed currently sold out this evening but then it came back in stock 5 minutes after I checked it. I went to add 4 of them to my cart to get for some developers and writers at my office and it would only let me add 2 since they only had 2 in stock. By the...

Thanks for clearing that up. From what I read the articles weren't very clear on it, but they must be assuming that whenever someone buys a HDD they're using it as a boot disk (perhaps appealing to the lowest common denominator in the process as far as hardware enthusiasts go). I don't remember...

Because conventional BIOS uses MBR which imposes a limit of 2.2 TB for a disk/partition. I just couldn't find any information online and thought the people who knew more about large HDDs than me might know. And perhaps even know a way to overcome that limitation on a motherboard that is using a...

I didn't know if I should post this in storage or in motherboards so forgive me if I guessed wrong. Anyway I have a BIOSTAR TA870U3+ motherboard and I can't find the information anywhere as to what size HDD it will support. If it won't support a 3TB drive are there PCI-E cards out there that...

Unfortunately I can't wall-mount my speakers because half of my desk overlaps a window. I guess I could mount one of them although they would be at different heights, slightly, because I have chair rail molding that goes around the room. Nice setup though.

[double post]

I really don't have any other options besides putting the speakers behind the monitors. The monitors are already angled as much as I can comfortably angle them towards the center point of the desk. To the left of my desk is my bed and to the right is maybe 2 feet of floor space however some of...

If it isn't anything dramatic I probably won't pull the trigger but I really appreciate you getting me started. I think I'd rather spend more money on the satellites than the sub though, unless cheaper subs than that sound awful. I am definitely more interested in the sound quality than the bass...

Well if it is going to take twice the budget to be better than the corsairs then I am asking for a lot and then I'd say don't bother. I just feel like I read a lot of people suggesting here and an audiophile sites (where I guess they are seriously biased against multimedia speakers) that a solid...

I recently purchased an I/O panel that uses a 19 pin USB 3.0 plug to connect to the motherboard. I don't have any 19 pin connections on my board and having the front I/O ports being USB 3.0 isn't terribly important to me so I don't want to spend $15-30 for a PCIE card with an internal...

I'm looking for a good set of bookshelf speakers that would be under 6" wide. I just don't have the desk space to really accommodate anything larger than that. In the past I've used Klipsch Ultras and just recently purchased Corsair SP2500s because it has always been a lot more simple to get a...

That's a good point. I may have to cancel my order anyway because I don't have USB3 headers on my motherboard, which means I'd have to spend another $15 on a PCIE card with internal USB3 A ports or a header. I think it cost me around $32 shipped but they're really the only people in the United...

Found it! http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_149&products_id=33287 They didn't have it listed under cables but rather hubs for some reason. Now I don't know if I need the 650mm or the 850mm but they both say they fit my case.

Wow, I can't believe you found it. One step closer I suppose. The flyer that came with your case, did it have ordering information? Was it a Lian Li flyer or some 3rd party? Also would you happen to know the part number for the non-3.0, stock part? If I can't get the upgraded one then I would...

The problem with all of these sites is that the ports they are selling don't match how the PC-K58 is setup. When you remove the front panel of the case it also removes the holes that the I/O ports fit through. Once the panel is gone it exposes the I/O ports directly on a circuit board. I've yet...

Yeah I did see that and I am considering it but for the price I could get a multifunction panel that has some other features as well. I would really like to just get my OEM I/O ports working again but the most important thing is just having those front audio ports.

Thanks a ton for that link. I've checked frozenCPU before and they don't have anything remotely close to what I need. However http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=130_210_750_760 has every front I/O panel except the one that the PC-K58 uses. That being said if...

I have a PC-K58 case and I damaged the front I/O audio ports. The USB ports are fine, however. In any case I can get it to recognize when a mic is plugged in but I can't broadcast anything over it. The headphone port is broken completely. I was wondering if Lian Li possibly sold the small chip...

So I just got a set of SP2500s and realized that while there are 2 AUX in ports, as well as a headphone port, there is no way to plug a mic into the system. The front I/O ports on my computer case are broken at the moment and it is extremely difficult to find the replacement part for those so I...

I am looking around on monoprice at the moment to purchase an HDMI cable but they offer quite a few. I know for a fact I don't need ethernet support nor do I need the cable to be CL2 (I believe). What I do need to know is if I need a higher speed cable or if I need a specific AWG. Also I know...

I am planning on purchasing one of these ASAP however the day I was going to pull the trigger the price went from 180 to 200. Apparently these things go on sale often but I was curious if anyone knew how often that was. I will pay 200 for it if I have to but I am patient enough to wait up to a...

I bought a K58 several months ago and the headphone and audio jack stopped working. I tried contacting Lian Li but I'm not holding my breath since that website is in a lot of "engrish" and I doubt I am going to be able to get the part from them to replace the broken one with. So I am looking...

I have one XFX HD 6870 and I figured rather than spending several hundred dollars to get the next generation Radeon cards I would rather strike a balance between value and performance and grab a second for crossfire. The card I currently have is the 1GB XFX model without the reference design...

Because I figure replacing a small fan can't be that expensive (it's not like I'm buying an entire new cooling solution, just a fan to drop in). If the heatsinks use normal fans then it wouldn't be any more expensive than a case fan and I could probably get something better than the stock fan...

I noticed my temps skyrocketing on my XFX HD6870 recently and finally tracked the problem down to the fan on the heatsink. It seems like the fan is intermittently turning on and off. Sometimes it will run as intended but as of a few days ago it seems to spend more time sputtering, for lack of a...

Sorry just one more question. If I wanted to hook up 2 monitors via DVI and then have my television hooked up via HDMI is there anyway to do that with the channels being shared? Or would I have to hook one of the monitors up using the mini DV ports? I don't understand why a DVI port and the HDMI...

Wow that did it. Thanks so much. I can't believe how simple it was. For some reason I thought I had 2 DVI, 2 HDMI, and 2 Mini outputs.

I'm trying to configure a second monitor on my Windows 7 PC but I'm running into a problem. From what I've been able to find from searching it seems that this is normally a laptop issue but I'm running a desktop so I can't figure out what's wrong. The secondary monitor is an Acer X223W that I...

Thanks again Danny, I almost freaked out there. I see it's split 6+2 in the picture and I figured you could just split it 4+2+2 if you wanted but after enginurd mentioned that PCI-E sometimes can be split 6+2, and I only saw one PCI-E cable in the picture, I thought maybe I wasn't getting the...

Yeah I read that in the reviews. Luckily power cables are probably the cables I have the most abundant supply of. Anyway if the 4+4 doesn't split do I just plug the 8 pins into the 4 pins? Is there a certain way to do it? The mobo has a 4 pin connection for the CPU so obviously all 8 pins...

Just had a quick question; Does the PSU that I bought have a 4 pin connector for the CPU? It doesn't seem to list it in the features and it's really hard to tell some of the connectors apart in the pictures (there's one that's not labeled PCI-E but looks like it could be labeled on the other...

Thanks, knowing that mobo diffferencce helps a great deal. Anyway I keep 3.5 TB of media on external storage. I'm not worried about 500 gb being enough, it just seems like why not get 1 TB when it's a few bucks more but you're right. I'm stripping my HP system down right now (not easy at all as...

I definitely plan to, although I opted for a case without a window since the Lian Li with a window that had the same price as the one I bought wasn't on Danny's list so I didn't know if I could trust it (and I wanted to buy this thing tonight). I think it was one number higher or lower on the...

I went with the Lian Li case and just ordered everything. I originally didn't think the Lian Li was toolless (which wasn't a deal breaker alone, I assumed some other things but I was looking at the wrong page) and I don't know why. I also didn't like the IO ports being on the top because of the...

I'm going to go with the Rosewill I think as I can always upgrade later if I don't like it (since that keeps me in budget). It also has the eSata port on the front which I like. I'm not crazy about the blue intake fan but having the extra fan inside seems good as well.

Alright thanks for the heads up. I've been looking mostly at cases with 120mm intake and a dust filter anyway. Some cases only come with one rear mounted fan and I'd rather not have to add any fans at the moment although I'm sure I will once I have it built and get some temp readings. That...

It was just surprising for me to see it as an up and coming big feature and now see it no where. Is there a good way to tell if a case is big enough inside to accomidate my graphics card and have other room to work with? Like a minimum size? For example is the Centurion a good sized case? That...

I'm trying to narrow it down and you're certainly not helping! :P Thanks for the list though; perhaps I'll want to upgrade at one point but I think right now the money would be better spent upgrading hardware if I wanted to spend it. I can immediately cross anything over $90 off the list...
