    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

    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...

    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...
