I know back when I built my 939 system Zalman coolers were the best air coolers on the market, is this still true or have things changed?

Practical case. Something with plenty of room for expansion and possibly water cooling down the road. Nothing flashy. I like conservative.

Well my system stays on all the time so I will not buy the SSD right now. I might use that money to buy a bigger case.

Best case for a dusty area?

I have been considering the Antec Lanboy Air case as well and I was wondering if I could add filters to the fans I have installed in it to prevent some dust from entering the case or is it pointless with the mesh design?

Full tower for water?

What do you guys think of the Antec Lanboy Air case? I could start off with decent air cooling and then move into water cooling down the road if I so wish and I wouldn't have to change the case.

Looking at building a SFF Gaming PC...

Thank you for the input, I think actually that I am going to build a normal sized computer, or even get a Full Tower case project going on, at least get a case that will give me plenty of room to expand and upgrade for years and years to come.

With a $1000 budget would I be better off getting a laptop or would I get better performance for gaming out a desktop with this budget? And do you guys trust websites such as ibuypower.com for gaming desktops?

Nook Color?

Are all the models of the nook color the same? I know when I bought my psp and was going to hack it I had to find a 1000 model at the time for the hack to be able to work, does the same principle apply for the nook color?

Now what about lag issues, I noticed someone said something earlier in the thread about it but I was just messing around with my friends pandigital and I will tell you that if the nook lags anything like that then B&N can keep their damn money.

Seeing as it can be unlocked to be a full fledged tablet are there any writing programs like word that are made for it? I have been doing a bit of writing lately and I would like to be able to write on the go.

But what if the .pdf doesn't have an authenticator, or it isn't a legit copy of the book? Like I play Warhammer 40k and I sat down a week ago and scanned all 67 pages of my Space Marine codex and turned it into a .pdf because I want to be able to read through it without destroying my physical...

I apologize for the vagueness of the question I asked. The reason for AMD is because I have always used AMD, but I am willing to try something new. As far as size, I kind of want a LAN rig that I can bring places with ease. Price, I am looking to stick to around $1000, I would be willing to go a...
