    Asus P8H77-I w/ Lian Li PC-Q08 build

    Hi Hearts - Using the Shuriken, I did not have any problems with clearance of the RAM. However, it is offset a bit to the right so it overhangs the PCIe slot. I forgot to mention that I had actually replaced all the stock fans in the system with some old school low speed Yate Loons. They run...

    Asus P8H77-I w/ Lian Li PC-Q08 build

    As far as the case, it was a no brainer since it offered the capacity of 6+1 HDD and a 5.25" bay to boot. I had read up on the PC-Q08 noise "issues" on SPCR (http://www.silentpcreview.com/lianli-pcq08) so decided to modify it myself. The top and bottom drive bays were gasketed with some foam...

    Asus P8H77-I w/ Lian Li PC-Q08 build

    Here's the Asus mobo again. Reasons I chose this over the Z77 and the others are because it is the only present one with 6 SATA connectors in ITX form that i know of. While I can easily add a PCIe SATA controller, I wanted to keep costs down and things simple and have the ability to have PCIe...

    Asus P8H77-I w/ Lian Li PC-Q08 build

    @ Sorce - noted and while i have SSDs laying around, OS access is rare and infrequent to really warrant it's usage IMHO. This is by no means a gaming system and will be up 24/7 for at least a few years (as my last system was) with minimal reboots.

    Asus P8H77-I w/ Lian Li PC-Q08 build

    Finally, after months of waiting and scouring the world (literally, I was in even in Taipei looking for it) for the elusive Asus P8H67-I motherboard, Asus started shipping the P8H77-I replacement and I got it immediately once available in the US. I chose this motherboard because i needed the 6...

    Lian Li PC- Q08 itx case : Specification & Feature

    Hi Guys - as someone who's been constantly upgrading and fiddling with PCs since the days of the 8086 (oh, the memories), it was time to get up to date after a 3 year absence in the scene. Since my whole build is centered around the Q08, thought I'd post it here. The computer is primarily served...

    Seagate 1.5TB $130 FS at Newegg

    FWIW - I have 5 of the Seagate 1.5TB now and they work great without any of the freeze folks are experiencing. My take is that certain raid controllers / configurations are having these issues. the mainstream RAID controllers, especially on board mobo ones seem to work fine (i've used it with...

    E8400 @ 4.4GHz on air and still going!!!

    4.4GHz is nice, but ! 1.50V (via CPU-Z) is insane! Good luck with that chip (crosses fingers) as VCore operating range is 0.85V – 1.3625V.

    DFI trust in nvidia MCP7A by releasing the LP JR GF9400-T2RS

    Miguel, from the sounds of your requirements, the nVidia 9300 boards are up your alley, since they have everything you want, except for one thing: 400MHz FSB overclock. The best you will be able to do so far is around 375MHz or run a 333Mhz 5:6 FSB/Mem divider. The RAID on the 9300 is a step...

    ASUS P5Q-EM

    This Asus G45 board has these advantages over its little G35 brother: - Full BD 1080p video decoding (VC1, MPEG2, H.264/AVC) - Can undervolt to .85V (Asus G35 can only go to 1.1V) - Minimal VDROOP (10-100mV) Also 1506 BIOS improved BD playback further to help some of the stuttering...

    DFI trust in nvidia MCP7A by releasing the LP JR GF9400-T2RS

    It's the best, if you don't mind no frills, default everything with some crappy BIOS/Driver support, but it does have the best BD playback audio/video wise. When/If they fix these issues, it will be the best bar none.

    DFI trust in nvidia MCP7A by releasing the LP JR GF9400-T2RS

    FYI - I've owned the F-i90HD, EVGA 630i, Asus P5K-Vm, P5E-VM, P5Q-EM, and now the Asus P5N7A-VM... If you want an OC board, stick with intel X/G chipsets like the P5E-VM or P5Q-EM...much more overclock friendly with great BIOS support and solidity If you want a good IGP, 9300 is the way to...
