Sorry, had to put project on hold for a few months because of school and also had to figure out the best and most efficient install. I was going to have an aluminum bracket made to mount the single fan to the dual fans but I didn't want to pay the fab costs. I grabbed some duct tape and zip ties...
I thought about doing a dual 80mm radiator behind the case and routing inwards above the psu but the lines have to go rearward then loop back in to the case. Custom kits are also expensive. It would be harder to mount the AIO kit as the lines are not very flexible .
Mounting to the lid I...
I could do a hole cut with the rotozip but i'm afraid of weakening the support to much as it has to hold the weight of the BD player. Drilling holes would leave more strength. It's actually a perfect fit using the right angle sata cable. Shaving off the lip on the side wouldn't gain enough...
^ It's a pre production or prerelease model direct from Asetek. If it works well enough it will generate interest which will bring it to market. It would work for HTPC and small lan party type gamer boxes.
The thumb screws worked perfectly. It's hard to see them in the picture above though.
^ No manual, this is prerelease version. Most likely will be rebadged as either Corsair or Antec. An internal setup would not be possible without an AIO kit. Thanks Zack! :D

Here is my original thread as I intended to mod the case drilling holes on the lid, mounting to support bar and then using weather strip for the gap between the lid and support bar...http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1593120
The case has alot of ventilation holes on the side and bottom...
That is true but ATT will lie and tell you that you will have to switch and that is from first hand experience. The only true part is my mother is using a cingular phone and I just bought another old new stock cingular cell for my sister on att as well. Try staying on a tmobile plan when your...
That's sad and funny. AT&T used to be the major monopoly, they split up and monolized again like an alien blob. Cingular blew away ATT and when they took it over the equipment went to tMobile. SO ATT was only good for a month. I had their unlimited min plan years ago and it was worthlesss as I...
Sure let me snap a few and see if I can upload or link.
Well, with such an extremely short run there would be no back pressure and the pump would be very fast. It may move the coolant too fast to be cooled by the radiator. I may be able to control it somewhat with the mobo.
I am actuall...
:o I received my Asetek 545LC kit. I thought it was going to be easy but the lines are not really flexible. I can't spiral them or bend and twist them in a tight "S" shape.
I have a few choices:
I can cut the hard lines and replace them with flexible ones (creates another issue getting...
Benchmark software may show a difference but you will never notice it. CL rating won't determine longevity. If you run 1600's at 1333 they will run cooler and last longer. Lifespan for me is two For some it's one as they have the need for the latest (like cell phones). You may want five years...
You don't need 8gb of ram. I've done it twice only becuase I bought them half price. Also, I can disable the swap file. Ram is no longer the bottle neck. Rather lack of ram becuase of cost. The two bottlenecks are video and hard drive. CL7 is better then CL8 but it would not be possible for you...
That case serves it's purpose and with any work of art, taste is subjective. If you like the case, don't let other people change your own mind. Anyhow, if you like modding silent cases with heat pipes instead of fans then this case is perfect. Watercooling gives you the option of a fanless...
I have the SIlverstone GD02 HTPC SFF case and I want to keep the CPU cool when running games.
I can just add a 92mm fan the center support bracket trying to channel air towards rear fans which may not work well or help too much.
I can get a all-in-one cpu water cooler kit from Asatek that...
Ok, new thread...
Silverstone GD02 was made for older boards as well as the NT01-E which was designed specifically for that combination to work with the case fans and could mount 2 additional fans in a push pull combo (for overclocking). GD03-GD06 will have similar limitations for cooling...
That silverstone link is currently priced at $349. I paid $50 for full size but the question was how would the button work on slim drive (from someone that has done it).
GD02 - I have the case and it's not the GD02-MT.
70mm - is not the only issue as posted. You also have to take in to account...
I was going to install the new Rev. B which is even smaller but my CPU is too far forward. It sucks as I could have used the case fans similar to the NT01-E which is outdated since CPU's are no longer that far to the right and PCI-E 16x slots are first and not 1x.
$340.00 WtFrack! I paid $50 for (full size) LG BluRay burner combo! :mad:

Is anyone having any issues with 4x2gb DDR3-1600 on this board? I can do XMP and memup with a pair of sticks but I can't even boot at 1333 with four. I think I have one bad one but they all pass in memtest.
^ for people that didn't do that homework and received an epic fail! If you spend $250 on a case and your too cheap to replace the fans and PSU, that's your fault. Don't take my advice and rant all you want and I'll enjoy mine. Ah, so quiet and beautiful.
Ok, for the rest of you that own one or...
You guys don't make any sense. I guess you just want to troll the thread. I posted a unbiased no opinion post. The box has "excellent" air flow. You need to use a modular PSU and replce the CPU fan.
No power supply is going to be efficient at 100%. You need to get one that is rated double for...
This page isn't mine (translated from Russian) but you can see the larger CPU cooler and I also have a second video card but mine is in SLI mode with the on board video...
Airflow is excellent! You can't even hear it and my CPU stays cool as well as my 2TB drive. You need a modular power supply. I posted pics in another thread but if you need it, let me know. You also have to throw away the Intel fan and get the Thermaltake Meorb.
The door stays closed. I have no...
I think it's been discontinued but you can still find it on Overstock, Amazon and other sites. If you want to add a high end two slot card then you will need the full height TX version. The half height box uses a riser card and even though there is a PCI-E on the center (+1 above & 1 below PCI...
I would have got them the newer all in one type pc's. The computer is in the monitor. What if the computer breaks down? What if it does, like regular box computers don't. Anyhow, the point is make it as simple as possible. The only thing you connect is th ekeyboard and mouse, which are USB. It...

I have not tried sata hot plug or Esata.
I posted a review on one of the previus pages.
Yes, I have audio through HDMI now. XFX replaced my board (again) and it runs excellent in Win7 x64 Pro. I added a 2tb backup drive (internal). Also, I just ordered a mini Thermaltake orb. I may...
Sorry about the lack of replies. I actually just had it sitting collecting dust. I opened a ticket with Nvidia and they helped me for a few weeks then just ignored me completely. I still have a ticket open with XFX. The problem with "all" boards with Nvidia digital audio chipsets is the audio...
I've had the same issue since last year. Nvidia just flat out ignored me after a few months! I have sent in my XFX 9300 and supposedly the chip was replaced (same ser #). I do actually see HDMI in the sound tab as before it would say not connected but still no audio. When testing with Cyberlink...
I didn't read past page 1. Not worth it. My experience with Asus has been hit or miss. Personally if I can get what i'm looking for from Abit, there's no way i'd get an Asus. Unfortunately it's usually one brand or the other for the build I want and not a choice between brands. I like AMD but...
It has onboard 8 channel HD audio. I have yet to finish the build, so I can't comment on the quality yet but my case has a HD audio connection and it does have HDMI. I was not able to see my SDD all weekend and traced it down to my icy box. I have installed Vista 64 this morning and will work on...
Sorry, been buying it in peices and only with parts on sale. I still need the MS 8000 keyboard & mouse. I ended up getting the Intel Q9300 instead becuase it was on sale (micro center) at a local store and was cheaper then the Q6600, allthough I found it bundled with a game. I remember games...

Mozart SX 7001 case - Buy (think I got the last though) Saved > $30 + free ship

I thought I would find the answers here, guess not. I looked at the XFX as well as Gigabyte and Asus. I ruled out the Gigabyte as it has too much of what I don't need (legacy stuff). The Asus P5E-VM also has PATA floppy and PS/2 but it got better reviews then the Gigabyte (which has a 9400 which...
