    The beauty of a Silverstone FTO2B-W

    Wow. In no way have I ever felt or been given any indication that Silverstone was flaky or not trusthworthy. Quite the contrary, they've always been excpetionally responsive and courteous to my e-mails and incessant questions.

    Recommend splitting device to power 5+ case fans - No fan controllers!

    Looking for alternative devices to power 5+ case fans from a single splitter powered by molex connectors. I am not looking for a fan controller though! =) SunbeamTech has their Multi-Fan Power Port (MFPP), but I'd like to know what else is out there that competes against it. Thanks!

    Powering case fans at full RPM - Splitter or no splitter?

    Quick question for you cooling guru's out there. I am currently using a Silverstone FT02 with three 180mm AP181 fans and a Corsair H70 in a push/pull configuration. In an effort to reduce cable clutter, I was thinking about picking up a Sunbeam Multi-Fan Power Port (MFPP) to power all my...

    Corsair H70 or Coolit A.L.C.?

    So after poking around, I've decided to get one of those all-in-one water cooling setups. What are your opinions on the Corsair H70 versus Coolit's line of A.L.C.'s such as the ECO A.L.C., Vantage A.L.C., or the ECO C120 A.L.C.? Basically, which one do you think will perform the best...

    Looking to buy a new LCD monitor... $400 budget

    My aging Gateway VX920 19" CRT is starting to flake out on me, so I thought I'd join the 21st century and pick up an LCD monitor to replace it. I am looking for something at least 20" or larger, widescreen, but no bigger than 26". It must have excellent contrast/brightness/color as I do a...
