Front USB MOD guide

<< Nice tutorial! You'd think one of these companies would MAKE something like this so you wouldn't have to mod it... yet I haven't seen anything that fits in the 3.5" bays as of yet. I bought the Antec Easy USB, which was really nice since they include a cable long enough to reach your...

What would you use to buff a clearcoat case?

Use Meguiars No. 7 Showcar Glaze to polish the case and get rid of fingerprints, etc. Use either the Meguiars No. 26 Hi Tech Yellow Wax or better yet the Meguiars No. 20 Polymer Sealant to wax the case and protect from handling marks. I regularly use either the Meguiars No. 26 Hi Tech Yellow Wax...

Sauidi paper says Isreal Massad behind 9/11

I have NEVER trusted the Saudis. The following article is excellent. I've been bitching about not being able to trust the Saudis for a long time. This piece documents why very well. Saudi Friends, Saudi Foes - Is our Arab ally part of the problem?

I've bought from 2CoolTek many times. Ian's service is great. I wouldn't hesitate to buy from him again.

Do you guys use an anti-static wrist strap?

Use on 90% of the time or more. Still touch the case every so often, even with the anti-static strap. Cyberguys has a cordless one: CORDLESS ANTI-STATIC WRIST STRAP, but it's not cheap - $12.79 each, and you have to put it on 15 minutes before you start working on you computer. I still may...

Best Heatsink And Cooling Fan for an AMD Axia Athlon 1.33 266 FSB CPU?

TaiSol CGK760092 with the copper bottom would be a good choice - Plycon has it for about $36, or Taisol Store for $38. If your motherboard has the mounting for it, ZALMAN CNPS-5000, which is all copper, would be an intersting choice, because Zalman supplies the resistors to control the fan...

quiet enermax-like powersupply

Not that the extra wattage would hurt anything (in fact, it would contribute to a more stable system), you might want to try this Enermax Whisper EG285P-VE (FC) @ Pham Computer: http://phamcomputer.safeshopper.com/31/185.htm?324 285W (average 276W)

Dual 80mm Fan w/ Adapter for Slot Cooling -> Nice fit for Enlight 7237

Basically, the 80mm version is the same thing as the original CardCooler. I've used the CardCooler in the past, but switched to the 2CoolPC a year ago, and haven't looked back. Got lower system & CPU temps with the 2CoolPC and less noise. And the CardCooler wasn't that loud to begin with. I...

Anyone see this 2COOLPC Case cooler? Does it work well?

I have two, one in each of our computers. They work excellently. Dropped the temps on my wifes K6-III 400 by 8 degrees, and on my Athlon 700 by 6 degrees. I think it's money well spent.

I checked out their web site recently, and I noticed they've completely changed their approach to their product. The information on their "Cooling Systems" (http://www.step-thermodynamics.com/CoolingSystems.htm) look now like Taisol heatsinks with a larger fan on them. ALso, is...

Why is an intake fan even necessary?

I don't entirely agree with you, Wolfman35 or AMD. In most cases (no pun intended) the case is a tower, so the orientation of the motherboard is vertical - with the hot video card beneath the CPU. Heat rises, and the air moving up to the CPU from the video card is going to be hot. Take a video...

It appears that this company in Europe (http://www.quietpc.com/casefans.html) is selling the same fan as PC Power & Cooling's Silencer Case Fan (http://www.pcpowercooling.com/products/alarmandaccesories/silencerfan/index.htm). Anybody have any idea who actually makes this fan?

Best sound dampener?? foam or cork??

One thing that may help is to make mounting gaskets for the fans, to isolate them from the metal of the case. Another thing to try is cut out the fan openings, and use regular metal grills. Depending on the case, the stamped fan opening cause some turbulence, and consequently some noise...

Yes, it's easily possible that "dirty" line voltage can fry electronics S_L_OW_L_Y. Are you using a UPS? APC's UPS regulate (and clean up ) their output. This could give a double dosage of insurance: 1) The obvious benefit of a UPS in the event the power dies. -and- 2) Line...
