    Fractal Design R2

    The holes on top and on the side of the case are actually covered with removable "bitumen plates" Also, there are 3 places for exhaust fans ( 2 on the top and 1 on the back ) as well as 4 places for intake ( 1 on the side, 1 on the bottom and 2 in the front )

    A Few Songs a Day Keep the Doctor Away

    Music with changes in dynamics and tempo is known to be good for your heart ( heartrate goes up with when the music gets louder and faster and slows with the opposite ) the ideal music would probably be italian opera like Puccini or some such ;)

    Opening up the P180's fan doors with only a Stanley knife & pliers (and maybe a file)

    Nice guide, but i think just modding the upper door might be enough, at least for those with harddrives only in the lower chamber, the unmodded door actually blocks some sound and i personally don´t se much need in an increased arflow there.

    Best silent/performing case? - SilverStone FT01 / Antec P182 / CM690

    Well, with 2 slip stream 1200 @ ~740 rpm as exhaust i feel no need to leave the door open on my p182, ( 5,25 covers are removed and a 12cm dustfilter moded in ) if i run the exhaustfans any faster the system wont be quiet anyway. With a little work you can easilly get a midrange sytstem to...

    Fight Against Illicit P2P is “Useless”

    I think this will mostly impact the mainstream and i personally consume no mainstream music / books and feel that both games and movies are becoming less intersting, it might even lead to more diversity if the mainstreams mediapreassure lessens due to finacial problems, which is a good thing as...

    Upgrade to HP desktop - Graphics wise, is PSU good enough

    I agree he will be fine, if he plans to play any games he might want to look into getting the HD4670, it is much faster and also requires no PCIE cable. My rig for reference : E4300 @ 3ghz Abit IP35 - E HD3870 Antec Earthwatts 380 1 HD 1 DVDRW 4 x 1 gb DDR2 2 casefans Idle ...

    Antec 380w enough to power this system?

    I can understand the need to cater to your target audience, perhaps this would fit SPCR better, since they did review the orginal EA430. btw a look at the manual you can download here : http://www.antec.com/ec/productDetails.php?ProdID=04638# mentions the EA380, EA430D and EA500D, so i...

    Antec 380w enough to power this system?

    Perhaps you could ask for a sample to review ? i mean if they got nothing to hide they would probably not mind sending you one, i mean your a big hardwaresite.... I´m sure there are other hardwareenthusiast like me around who dosn´t play that many games any more ( because the dont make em...

    Antec 380w enough to power this system?

    Aha didnt know that, is there a noticeable drop in quality with the change of manufacturer ? Btw with EA-xxxD do you mean a delta verison of the 380,430 and 500w ? and if so do they also use a 12cm fan as the 650w unit ?
