    painting troubles

    Didnt you disassemble it all from the outer casing first? And use verrryyy light coats? Guess not. Well why not try some fine (1000-1500) grit wet-dry sandpaper and have at it. Or if ur desperate, paint thinner to take a few layers off, but not too much if u dont wanna take it all the way...

    My new Lian-Li PC-V1000Plus

    It may be just me, but this case is getting really played out as everybody and their grandmother owns one. Almost like the Chieftek(sp?)/Chemning. But i suppose if I had to buy a case that everybody already owns, it would be a Lian-Li.

    Learning C++ from C or Java

    There is pretty much no such thing as "Coding fairly fast GUI programs" in C++. Your going to have to pick up a pretty nice 1,000 page book on the MFC, and mind you this is a BEAR to learn. What exactly is your objection to .NET? Check out C#, I think you will find that you will be able to do...

    PageFile=1.53g should i....?

    Pagefiling is only as slow as your hard drive. If you have an old 5.4K RPM'er clunkin around trying to manage 4GB of page files, it can bog you down. And as for the rule of thumb, I've always gone by, and heard - 1GB RAM = 1GB page file allocation, etc. However the more RAM you have, the less...

    Vertical Hard Drive Mounting

    i was also wondering the same thing myself. im not an expert on hard drive mechanics, but simple physics would lead you to believe that a vertical mounting would result in the motor fighting gravity to spin the plates up and down, rather than uniformly horizontal. ive read a few articles that...

    Project: parallel HEX (completed!)

    i guess i still dont see how you are guaranteeing yourself that the water level will ALWAYS be higher than the out ports at the top. Seeing as how there is only what looks like a few millimeters from the top of the rez.... Probably would have been safer to have the distribution ports at the...

    Rad/fan positioning input needed

    So it seems 3 fans, sucking from outside the case, blowing thru the rad is the popular choice.... But, how come i see so many people either blowing hot air from the inside of the case thru the rad, or sucking air from the rad thru the top. In most cases, isn't the best option to blow air either...

    Rad/fan positioning input needed

    Ok, let me first start out by saying, to ward off flamers - if I had all this stuff I would just test out prototypes myself. But since I dont, yet, I am trying to gather opinions... Now i have a simple drawing here and im wondering what your opinions on it should be... The...

    Transmission Cooler??

    . Well i'm workshopping different ideas for a scratch build case (pre planning stages). And i was just thinking what was to stop me from throwing in 2 or 3 360mm rads or a couple 240mm heatercores.... I've read alot about heatercore performance and seeing as how something like the BIX/BIP...

    Transmission Cooler??

    Hello all.. I was just wondering if anybody has had any experience with the use of automotive transmission coolers as a radiator. Such as this one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006HJRJM/ref=nosim/102-5573141-3774549?n=15684181aa). If not, how well do you think it would fare in a...
