    Silverstone SST-SX600-G 600w Gold SFX

    So, the SX600-G is more noisy than an ST45SF-G with a Noiseblocker fan installed?

    Thoughts on the the ultimate granny PC

    Okay, this is the build I ended up making for her: Motherboard: ASRock B75M-ITX http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/B75M-ITX/ CPU: Core i3 3220 RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tactical, Low Profile, 2 x 4 GB http://www.crucial.com/eu/store/part...D1608ET3LX0CEU Cooler: Zalman CNPS2X...

    Thoughts on the the ultimate granny PC

    It won't be used for anything 3D-related. Just web browsing/editing, email, picture editing and watching a few videos. Would an I3-3220T do the trick?

    Thoughts on the the ultimate granny PC

    My own PC is housed in an SG05. It's a very nice cab, but it's way to big for the build I have in mind :) The main thing that makes me dismiss the NUC is the lack of connectivity. A DVI output, at least 4 USB ports in the back and a separate audio output of some sort would be my minimum...

    Thoughts on the the ultimate granny PC

    So, my old mother got this small Atom + ION system that I build for her some years ago. It's starting to show its age... that old Atom CPU is becoming a bottleneck. I can't help getting the urge to build a new one. She insists that it's still an adequate PC and would rather spend the money on...

    Half height mini-itx cases?

    Yes, it's nice. But it's way too big. The G-Alantic GA6201 is exactly what I was looking for. But I have canceled my order on the motherboard. I'm gonna spend the money on another nerdy hobby of mine instead.

    Half height mini-itx cases?

    True. That GA6201 would have been perfect :(

    Half height mini-itx cases?

    Yes, but it's not the expansion card I'm talking about. It's the motherboard itself: http://akiba-pc.watch.impress.co.jp/hotline/20120310/image/mdn2800mt7.html

    Half height mini-itx cases?

    Nice.. but pricy. I'd might just have to build something myself :)

    Half height mini-itx cases?

    I have just ordered myself an Intel DN2800MT mini-itx motherboard, an OCZ Nocti mSATA SSD and some Kingston Value RAM. All I need now to have a tiny passively cooled PC is a case. The DN2800MT comes with both a normal IO back-plate and a half-height version. I'd like to use a case that...

    itx with e6750 and pci-e gpx card?

    Asus has actually added a cooling profile to some of the MOSFETs om the board revision I got: But you probably still need more for a 125W CPU.

    itx with e6750 and pci-e gpx card?

    I admit what I'm writing is nonsense. I should have been more specific. What I meant was that a 32bit optimized application will use twice as much space in RAM if the 32bit values are just placed in 64bit registers without any further manipulaton. A 64bit register can hold lager values, so it...

    itx with e6750 and pci-e gpx card?

    That's true. But the 64bit values also takes up twice as much space in the RAM. As long as you have 3.5GB of RAM or less in your PC, it's best to use a 32bit OS. But that's just my opinion.

    itx with e6750 and pci-e gpx card?

    For a non-gaming build 2GB should be fine. Especially if you run a fast 32bit OS :)

    itx with e6750 and pci-e gpx card?

    Don't think so. Some AMD boards has so-called "Hybrid CrossFire" that alows you to make the shitty onboard gfx work in CrossFire with a specific equally shitty PCIe card. I don't know if Nvidia has a similar "mutant SLI" solution, but I think it's useless anyway. You are much better off with...
