    Another case recommendation

    I've been looking around for cases to stuff with my build that's going to include a watercooling loop and was wondering if anybody had some suggestions (outside the usual mainstream Antec, Corsair, CM, Lian-Li, etc.) for around $200-250. So far, I've taken a good look at MM and some Danger Den...

    1366 motherboard suggestions

    I just picked up the i7-930 @ MC and was wondering what motherboard I should pair it with. I have a pretty good idea of what's out there, so I'm really looking for personal experiences with some of them. Not looking for USB/SATA 3 or anything more than 2 PCI-E lanes. I will be pushing this chip...

    Would upgrading from a 16mb cache Caviar Blue (500gb) to the 640gb platter Caviar Black as my boot drive show a significant increase in speed? I'm still using my 400 and 500 gb Blue as storage. I ran out of room on the 400, so I'm gonna work on the 500 and possibly upgrade the boot drive. SSDs...

    Case fan replacements

    So, I've been running a Panaflo U1BX as my exhaust and lowering the speed through a Rheobus fan controller. The fan is damn powerful, but also DAMN loud. I'm trying to cut down on noise coming out of my Antec 900, so any suggestions on a case fan that would perform well as an exhaust? Keep in...
