    Anodizing case

    I'm planning on anodizing my case internals but i'm not sure if I need to keep threads plugged and/or remove rivets. Can anyone share their experience or knowledge?

    Preliminary set-up - suggestions welcome

    Thanks for your input guys. Main: Could you explain why I should avoid inline reservoirs? And why I should use 1/2" tubing as well as a fillport in my set-up? What about bay reservoirs? Are they any good?

    Reason for HTPC

    I'm not really interested in getting a HTPC. Just trying to understand why some would, that's all.

    Modular or not?

    I've read somewhere that modular PSUs weren't as efficient as non-modular ones. Are they worth getting over non-modular ones?

    Good case for watercooling/ air cooling

    I'm currently building a rig and would like to know which cases are suitable for watercooling (perhaps only 1 rad but will allow future upgrades to more rads) and good air cooling well. I expect temps to be high as I'm building an i7 rig with the higher-tiered graphics. However, I would like to...

    Brand New system - any suggestions welcome

    I see. Thanks. Which Indilinx drives do you recommend for RAID0? Also, I understand that if one wishes to install an OS on an SSD, it'd best be the Intel SSD because they are faster at small random write speeds right? But what about game files? I suppose they work better in SSDs that have...

    Brand New system - any suggestions welcome

    So RAID0 on 2 Idilinx drives is better than RAID0 on 2 Intel SSDs (sequential and random write spds)? Also, previously you said that its safest to get RAMs that ran at 1.5V. But would it be the same if I got a 1.65V RAMs and reduce their voltage to 1.5-1.6V? Would I encounter any problems in...

    Brand New system - any suggestions welcome

    So you're saying in using a single SSD it would be the more logical choice to get an Intel SSD rather than an Indilinx based drive because of the fact that fast small random write speeds will increase performance more than fast sequential speeds as compared to setting up the Indilinx based drive...

    Reason for HTPC

    I've been wondering to myself what's the advantage of a HTPC when watching high definition movies? I'll admit that I don't know much about the innards of Blu-ray disc players or high def players. But, I'm puzzled as to why people prefer using HTPC to BD players when watching high def movies or...

    Brand New system - any suggestions welcome

    Thanks for your input, though I have a few questions. Why is it best to stick with Intel when going with a single SSD? How do the other SSDs fare? OCZ etc.. And what differentiates an SSD from another? Is it life expectancy, speed or reliability? I'm also quite interested to know how an OS...

    Thanks for the reply. So what exactly in a RAM helps to boost a system's performance?
