    Help on transporting computers with heavy heatinks

    Although the safest way to move these computers is to just remove heatsinks before moving, typical thermal compounds simply take too long to cure, and the time to mount and dismount heatsinks can be time consuming, which is problematic for LAN party uses. I am looking for way of secure the...

    Integrating audio functions with VPU?

    It may sound silly at first, but it is not very far-fetched. After all, both light and sound are waves. Like light, sound can reflect and refract, so it is conceivable that many lighting models developed for VPU can be applied to APU and vice versa. In such implemetation, 3D audio...

    Sanyo Denki outblows Vantec Tornado/Sunon?

    One day when I am searching for a cooling fan, I discovered Sanyo Denki has the new San Ace 80 fan that does 2.55m^3/m or 90cfm for 51 decibel, that's almost 6 cfm more air and 4.2 decibel quieter than Vantec Tornado! Unfortunately, not that many companies sell Sanyo Denki fans, and none have...
