Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Using your original nvidia cd, select the option to completely remove all nvidia video drivers. Reboot after all the nvidia drivers are removed. Windows will detect new hardware (VGA, etc). Then you can either let Windows find new drivers for your card via the web or re-install the nvidia...
Something must have changed, because I built eight x-qpacks during December / January and all had Exnermax Liberty 500 PSU's. They all bolted in normal without any issues and the PSU fans were facing down. Two out of the eight black cases had windows. I thought about nibbling off the tang on...
I think either solution would be good (Zalman or Arctic), but I went ahead and bought a couple of the Arctic NV5 Rev 3 silencers and installed them on 7800GT's in x-qpack's last week. They definitely do fit, although there's one point where it gets a bit tight (the fan apex) when sliding in the...
Check out this thread for a good picture of the Shuttle G, Shuttle P, X-Qpack & Silverstone SG01 sitting side by side. It gives a good visual perspective on the size of these cases as they relate to each other.

The people I built some x-qpacks for wanted LightScribe drives, so I built their systems with HP DVD740RI LightScribe drives and Liberty 500 PSU's. I experienced no fitment issues other than having to deal with long cabling on the Enermax PSU. There was almost ~1.5" of clearance between the...
I wouldn't worry too much because it might just be their out of stock message even though it sounds like its discontinued. When I was looking at the Newegg web site before I bought some of the 6150 boards late last year, I recall seeing a similar message instead of a simple out of stock message...
Here's an interesting review of the Arctic NV5 Rev 3 on a 7800GT by "James" whose an admin at PureOverClock. The 2nd link is where he makes an interesting comment about the performance of the Zalman as it relates to the Arctic NV5 Rev 3.

Why?
I was thinking of ordering the NV5 rev 3 next week for someone after reading numerous positive reviews and opinions on various forums. I've even spoke to two different graphic card companies who had positive things to say about this product?
Is there some type of mass production...
I don't 'yet' know if it fits into the x-qpack or not, but from what I've read, the Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 5 Rev 3 for the 7800GT offers imprressive cooling performance and it's quiet at full throttle. Based on pictures that I've seen, it appears this cooler would likely fit in the x-qpack...
An automatic or programmable fan controller may help you out. If would keep the fans at a lower level when you're simply surfing the net and bring them up to speed when needed (i.e. gaming, etc). Maybe the people at Monarch will help you research and try out an automatic fan controller?

Circuit City has them for $527 right now (12% off $599). Print out the Circuit City screen and take it to Best Buy and they'll price match it on the spot at the register. The Best Buy I went to in SoCal had them in stock today. The Office Depot I went to also had some in stock and they'll...
Here's a picture I found of a x-qpack using a CoolerMaster Auquagate Mini 120mm Liquid-Cooling system. Amazon had the 120mm Aquagate Mini for $89 including shipping.
