    Extended ATX-form case

    Hey guys, I'm working on piecing together a new comp, with a nice big full tower for watercooling and such. Problem is, 90% of the cases I am reccomended are listed as Extended ATX, and I dont see many EATX MoBos. Will a regular ATX board still fit in the case?

    Good cases for Watercooling?

    Looking to build a new system and watercool it. I've been hearing that watercooling takes a lot of room, and often requires you to cut up the case if you use a heatercore. What kind of cases are good for watercooling? I'd need something with a good PSU obviously (Unless you guys can reccomend...

    Looking to do watercooling

    Hey guys, looking to put some watercooling in my comp, and didn't see a FAQ for a couple of the questions I had. From other threads i've gathered you need tubing, a waterblock for the GPU/CPU, Pump, resivoir and radiator. However, I haven't seen anything that tells how to figure out what kind...

    Harddrive Upgrade questions

    Built my computer over the fall with a 200GB Seagate 7200 RPM IDE hard drive. As of right now though, I have about 9GB remaining, filled the rest with the OS, games, Anime fan subs, etc, so I'm looking to add more. I've been seeing a lot of stuff on these boards about people having a small...

    New Cooling suggestions?

    Had a weird happening recently. Came home after being gone for a day and my processor's suddenly running at 50' idle instead of 27 like it was before. Figure I might want to get a new HS/F, but not sure what I should be looking at. Also, any ideas what could have caused the temp increase...

    Need help please (Slightly urgent)

    I've been running my freshly built computer for two months solid since I made it. The other night I decided that I'd like to know how the temperatures were running (out of curiousity, it was always running nice and cool for me). Installed the CoreControl from my MSI board's driver disk and it...

    Memory possibly slowing down comp?

    I was reading the overclocking guide, though I'll admit to not being 100% clear on it. From what I was reading however, it was saying that if your CPU's FSB is above the memory's speed, that there's some speed lost? For instance, I'm running an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.2 GHz. FSB is 200 x 11...

    Hey guys, just built my first comp a month ago and it's running smoothly, but wondering if I could get a lil help with a couple things. First, I've noticed that out of the whole case, my CPU fan is the loudest of them all, and also it still seems to be fairly warm in there (I'm using stock...
