    Best of both quiet and cooling cases?

    I've had my Antec Lanboy for a long time now and think it's time to upgrade to something new. I'm looking for something in a similar size (mid-full tower) that is both quiet and provides good cooling. I was looking at some of the recently popular cases from Antec. The 900/300 P180/182, sound...

    MSI 8600GTS with Silent Heatpipe overheating??

    I built a new system yesterday and my graphics card of choice was the MSI 8600GTS-T2D256EZ, mainly because it promised silent operation. However while attempting to install my OS, I noticed that the display was frequently blanking out a few minutes after power on. I checked the hardware monitor...

    How to send MMS from E-mail to Phone?

    I've been wondering if I can send MMS picture messages from my email account to my mobile phone. I looked around on the net but couldn't really find anything helpful. I have subscribed to the service from my provider (t-mobile) that allows me to send mms from my phone to my email, but I wanted...

    Digicams.. CF? SD?

    So I've decided to invest my first paycheck into a nice digital camera... My parents recently got the Powershot S400, and I think the camera is great. I've got much faith in Canon. So now I'm pretty set on either the S230 or the SD100.. cuz 3.2MP is fine for me.. and I prefer it over the A...

    Questions about getting a new case...

    Hey guys.. I've had my piece of steel crap (aka my case) for a year now and it just really annoys me. The main reason being, there is no space to put a case fan in the back panel.. so I basically have a crappy exhaust system. The way the case gets "exhaust" is by using a stupid duct thing...

    Deciding on printers.. Canon or HP

    Deciding on a new printer for myself. I won't be using it excessively often, but when I will use it I want it to be pretty nice... so speed and ink costs don't really matter to me but quality does. So I've always been a big fan of Canon. My parents bought a S400 camera and I'm the one who...

    Hole Saws?

    Anybody know where I could buy a good 3" or 3-1/8" Hole Saw & Arbor set to cut a hole for an 80mm fan on my side panel? I seen a lot on ebay in a kit but I don't think any of them cut metal/steel/watever my side panel is made of :(

    Lanboy VS X-Sonic

    Is it just me or are the Antec Lanboy and the Chenming/Chieftec X-Sonic cases the exact same case only with a different front bezel? Both are aluminum, both have the honeycomb rear fan cutout, both have the funky glow fan holder in the front, both have the one drive rail system, both come with a...

    Round IDE/Floppy Cables

    Is it true that these cables experience more crosstalk than normal flat cables? Or are the machine made cables made with twisted pairs to cancel out the crosstalk? Or am I totally on the wrong track?

    Does lapping work?

    I've got a coolermaster HHC-001 on top of my XP1900, and as everybody who's purchased a HHC-001 has said, the bottom surface is very rough. Check out this picture from reviewmakers. If I lapped the bottom of the HS, would it improve performance?

    How to cut fan holes? Will it work?

    My case has realllly bad air flow. I bought it because it was really cheap and I didn't think I needed it to be good looking or anything. I didn't notice from the pictures that I did not have a space for a fan in the back nor in the front. So the only fan's in my computer are my HSF and this...

    XP1900 + HHC-001

    I am running an Athlon XP 1900 on a Asus A7V333 with a CoolerMaster HHC-001 HSF. I get idle temps of around 45C. Since I'm not into overclocking or the such, the temps I get are ok by me. But my only problem is that this HSF is so loud. I originally wanted to use a ThermalTake 7+, but for...
