I want more Seasonic parts in my computer because I know how reliable they are.

Amazon is currently selling Samson MediaOne 4a and 5a speakers/monitors at a steep discount. Each comes with a pair of speakers with a tweeter and woofer (4" or 5", respectively). Samson Mediaone 4a w/ FSSS $99 Samson Mediaone 5a w/ FSSS $131 I just picked up the 4a and I really like...

NCIX (US branch) is offering Refurbished Corsair SP2500 speakers for $99.99. This is supposed to be an excellent 2.1 speaker set for multimedia systems. A pretty thorough review is linked to at the bottom of the post. There is free shipping on orders over $100 (e.g. add this $0.49 item). If...

I like the new overclocking features. It feels powerful but also simple. CPU overclocking is almost too easy with "CPU level up": just set the MHZ goal and the BIOS will do the rest. The memory presets also seem like a nice feature for new people to easily upgrade to higher clocked RAM.

Well I will ask a few questions, with the idea that Silverstone's platform may the right place to start. My main concern is with the idle fan speed. Would Silverstone consider a limited edition run of their SFX Power supply units with an alternative fan? If so, how would a warranty work...

IanM are you now part of the Ncase team, or simply inspired by their work? It might be a good thing to clarify at the beginning of your post. I ask because the approach you have taken is a bit different from that of Necere/Wahaha (Who I will refer to as Ncase). Ncase was originally interested in...

That looks really nice. That has the potential to be a very quiet configuration

Necere or Wahaha Do you know what type of aluminum alloy Lian li or Silverstone would be using to make this case?

I haven't found a lot of information, but EVGA showed off a mini-itx case at CES 2013. It can take a 240mm radiator and has space above the CPU for large air coolers. Below are a few links with additional information and photos TechReport DailyTech Hexus w/ short video

You better post more pictures when you are done. It looks like you've done an awesome job.

I think you might run into patent issues with the vertical CD drive; I believe a Korean company, GMC, holds the patent. I assume that is the reason we don't see it more.

Just FYI. the seasonic 350W TFX doesn't have a PCI-e connector, just 20/4 pin, 4pin CPU, 2x 4-pin molex, and 4 SATA. You could still pull it off with a molex to PCI-e adapter, but just be aware that the TFX was not designed with a cable to power GPUs.

Titan ITX was trying to build a case with a similar design. Unfortunately, the OP, has not posted an update since late November, so it's unclear how much progress has been made. He has purchased many parts for it, so there is hope it will be available one day.

Xtreme Hardware just posted a review (in french) There are a lot of really nice photos. They tested the cooler with an i7-920 (~130W), but attempt to give you a sense of other processors by undervolting the processor. They also use a couple of different fans; as well as text whether the...
