    Silverstone Tek LC16m Fan direction

    I'l try that! Along the front of the case under the front panel there is case width long vent w/o mesh. Would having the back right fans as intake and psu and hdd fans exhaust make sense. So the air comes in hard over the cpu and goes across the pci lanes and across the mobo to either left or...

    From a Jaded ex 939 rig, which is better investment: Amd 955 or i7-920 build

    Anandtech forum FTW!! I went to microcenter and bought the i7-920 for $200 and ordered the asrock x58 from newegg. I was looking at some ddr3 and came across: $100 - Crucial 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model CT2KIT25664BA1339 $100 -...

    From a Jaded ex 939 rig, which is better investment: Amd 955 or i7-920 build

    Surprised I forgot those details. I probably won't overclock and budget is reasonable as I have misc items, hdd, DVD, 5770, etc. If I opt for the i7-920, are there budget boards that have esata and USB 3.0? Btw I'm running straight hdmi to a 720p set, which defaults to 1366x768. Is there a...

    From a Jaded ex 939 rig, which is better investment: Amd 955 or i7-920 build

    Hey guys, i know this is another "which one vs this vs that" but I'm extremely jaded as I invested in skt 939 which AMD dedicated about 2 years to, well something like that. My use is mainly HTPC, tv tuners, mkvs, 1080p with every now and then gaming - 3 - 4 HD tuners (across two pci-e x1...

    tv tuner to router - wndr3700

    i couldnt find anything specifically on that, and havent tested it, but... i do believe it will work with a hub, almost 100% positive EDIT: just read a few places that yes you can, and one recommended using a powered usb bus as to not tax the router's usb power supply

    tv tuner to router - wndr3700

    I picked it up at bestbuy only because it was local, good places are always frys.com and newegg.com if in stock. Setting up is a piece of cake. Complete plug and play. It does comes with a cd which basically sets up a network drive when you plug in a HDD or USB key, you could do it on your own...

    tv tuner to router - wndr3700

    Hey guys just picked up a netgear wndr3700 and WOW! it's everything it's supposed to be. What i was thinking during my mad scientist time M/F 12-12:15 was when dd-wrt hits the wndr3700, couldnt a tv tuner be connected to the usb port and used similarly to the HD Homerun. Where as it's either...
