Finally took a stab at modding my Antec SX 1040 case. painting, Adding light, externaltemp Lcd temp readout, fanbus.

Looks great! What type of paint and applicator did you use? I've got a plain white full tower that I've been contemplating painting black or charcoal grey, but I haven't really looked into it enough to determine what kind of paint to use. Der Perfesser

What are your thoughts on capturing wind power? Ideas for DIY alternative energy also welcome :)

Not to be a buzzkill or anything, but before you decide on wind power mainly because of its "environmentally friendly" nature, take a trip out to the turbine site and note the number of dead birds lying around the site... Not to dissuade anyone, but just noting that while wind turbines are...

White LED's, will they become a mainstream lighting?

**OFFICIAL ASUS P4B533-V (845G) THREAD**

Night Otter, Regarding the fan setup, I recently put together a similar system with an Antec True Power Supply and variable speed fans. The temps in my case thus far have kept the case fans running around 1200 - 1300, so low that my Hardware Monitor BIOS kicks into SETUP every time I boot. I...

XP New Installation w/ new components

bump Can I install components (vid, sound card, modem) one by one while doing a fresh install with XP? Does the OS installation give you a certain number of reboots (like Office 2000) before you have to go to the web to "register" the OS? Der Perfesser

Thanks for the quick heads up. It looks like (from the FAQ) that ECC isn't necessary for a home system with minor ocing. But I've still got a question about the relative prices shown between the two different companies. Axion has a pretty good reseller rating, so why does it seem that...

Reseller Ratings is the one I was thinking of, thanks for the reminder! Just checked em out WRT hardware vendors, and I was looking at Newegg, Axion, and Jazz, which all seem to have fair ratings. Any other suggestions (or warnings) welcome. Der Perfesser
