    Build assistance for new SFF Server

    OK, initial build done with just an SSD in there at the moment... it's a tight fit using this PSU, kinda jams up against the HD cage, but I think it's ok, just a bit messy. I have the fans running pretty slow at the moment... in BIOS CPU temp is 37-41C, PCH temp is 47C-50C, Memory temp is...

    Build assistance for new SFF Server

    Thanks for your comments. Yes, I would still be up for building a totally fanless little Atom box as a future project... are new Atom chips expected anytime soon? I ended up ordering the Q18... I found it on Newegg after all, I must have been search deficient the first time I looked for it :p...

    Build assistance for new SFF Server

    Actually, the Q25 is the one thing I haven't ordered yet... was leaning towards the Q25 because it seemed to be $50 cheaper and I wasn't seeing the Q18 on newegg... but I like that second big slow case fan so I am going to see if I can find the Q18 somewhere for a better price. I am definitely...

    Build assistance for new SFF Server

    OK, I am liking the i3 2120T...unless there is an ivy bridge version coming out soon? It looks like the S1200KPR is the newer version of that board? looks a bit more future proof than the S1200KP ... How much power do I need for this? seems like I could get away with something pretty...

    Build assistance for new SFF Server

    OK, so I have been doing some research and I guess the first main question is MB & processor. If I could get some opinions on that it would be very helpful... Option one: an Atom based solution, something like this Supermicro board perhaps? are there better atom based mini-itx solutions...

    1. What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming, Photoshop (or other intensive programs), Overclocking, Web browsing, strictly HTPC/Playback, etc. (If you have multiple things you want to do with the system, make sure you rank them from most important to least important). This box is to be an...

    xbox 360 audio out with hdmi question

    Hey all, I have a new Xbox 360 slim connected to a Dell U2410 monitor using the hdmi ports on both. The monitor has a 3.5 headphone jack (audio out) which I have been using... but the audio is horrible through that port. Is there a way to get audio directly out of the xbox 360 while still...

    Upgrade advice

    Is this comparable to the G.Skill ram? or should I stick with your exact suggestion?

    Upgrade advice

    Thanks again. I noticed this alternative... just $5 more and a bit faster... (I get free shipping with Amazon)... is this the same core, just a bit faster?

    Upgrade advice

    Thanks very much. This is exactly the kind of feedback I was looking for. Looks good to me, if I want to double the ram it looks like that motherboard has 4 slots so I can just double up your suggestion. One more question, my current setup runs pretty cool and very quiet with a big aftermarket...

    Upgrade advice

    Thanks for your response. Re-reading my post I think I wasn't clear, the Gigabyte MB I chose specifically as it is suppose to be hackintosh compatible. I am looking for a general read on the choices from pure hardware and Win7/Ubuntu perspective.

    advice on processor upgrade

    I just resuscitated an old PC, it is currently running an Asus A8N-SLI motherboard with an Athlon 64 3700+ cpu and 2 gigs of ram (ddr333 I think). I haven't run this system in a couple of years... is there a faster more energy efficient (cooler) CPU available for this MB now? would I want/need a...
