You'd be surprised how easy it is to mod those water-cooling units to work with any case (unless you already have); besides, it's not a bad idea to use a floor fan and I have several friends who do. That's one reason I like these windows so much, but make the floor fan system modular, of course...

Thank you very much for that article; it was very helpful, but on the other hand it did not answer my question, which depending on whether I quite get it or not may not be pertinent; but PCI-Express is a serial interface, right? So what implementation of the serdes units will be put in place at...

As for me, I prefer only performance; I don't care if it doesn't look like someone you'd want to go out with; I don't care if it's noisy, run cables from your monitor up to your basement. What I care about is airflow, and as far as I know this is the best one out there for that (except perhaps...

Anybody know if there's a vapor-cooler unit that does anything besides the CPU (particularly the northbridge chipset or the RAM)? Or can you mod a Vapochill or Mach II to focus on something else?

Does anyone think SiS will take its relationship with Rambus "to the next level?" Omigod I hope so. I at least hope somebody does. Would it be legal for Rambus to market a memory interface modkit for obsessively capable silicon-handlers? Or an XDR-to-Hypertransport bridge? That one's not really...

I know the site for the absolute best case I have ever seen; the Brushed Aluminum Original U2-UFO; it is 18x18x18" and mount points for 2 120mm blowhole fans plus 5 more 120mm and 4 80mm; the site even takes suggestions! There's a 120mm intake right by the motherboard and a quad-80mm blowhole...

Who else thinks it's ridiculous that Intel uses the same bus it's been using forever only slightly upgraded? More importantly, will the later-edition Prescott or Tejas chipsets support some kind of better solution? It's doubtful they'll use Hypertransport or even Redwood, but either flavor of...

Does anybody know what kind of SerDes the new PCI-Express interfaces will be running on? Everybody's all obsessed with the new spec but if it's on some budget Mux/Demux I'd be kind of apprehensive. As far as I know (and I don't know much about AGP), AGP is just a bus so it matters less, but for...
