    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!

    I really dont want to mess with a bunch of wiring inside the chassis as I'm pretty fastidious when it comes to clean wiring and cable runs. Also, the fans that I am using, when running at full RPM, barely push above ~35dBA so controlling them really wouldn't make a difference. I just wanted...

    The beauty of a Silverstone FTO2B-W

    Pretty much any DVD/RW optical drive will fit. Silverstone states that the maximum length of an optical drive in the top two slots of the FT02 is 180mm. See page 24 of the manual, here: http://www.silverstonetek.com/downloads/Manual/case/Multi-FT02-Manual.pdf I am currently using a Lite-on...

    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!

    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...

    OCZ is offering a $12 rebate on the flash drive. You can get the OCZ flash drive for $64 at Monarch Computer, with $1.99 shipping. So the total cost would be something like $54 I am just torn between performance (OCZ) and storage (Corsair).

    Yes. Especially if they are SATA drives... wire management, beleive it or not, is the easy part. Figuring out how and where you are going to route your cables is the hard part. ;)
