    Tablet *workstations* capable of heavy processing and large data sets are not commonplace yet, unfortunately, so I think you're off target here. :)

    I built a scale model of the Silverstone NT06-PRO heatsink (minus the small details). My updated case design with this component layout turns the unit flat instead of on edge like suggested in the previous renders. Although I have pencil sketches of the case design, it is crucial to first...

    I'm considering a SilverStone NT06-PRO CPU cooler with one fan mounted below the fins. Several reviews made me think this cooler is quite OK for some overclocking. What I like about the NT06-PRO is aesthetically it presents a fin array instead of a fan. I would like to incorporate...

    I have a 23" IPS monitor that will fit into a carry bag. All it needs is a custom hard cover to protect the panel. A 20" monitor will transport even easier. However, when I fly with it, it will be between places which already have monitors ready. If I must fly with a full system, I may opt...

    Thanks! :) I was wondering about the accuracy of a PSU maker's calculator based on warnings read on other forums. If I have to account for moderate overclocking, where would that realistically put me then? And which power rating would then be recommended? Can a smaller than SFX form...

    Using the Thermaltake PSU Calculator it seems the Arietta will draw around 270 W overclocked under heavy load, and 320 W overclocked with 100% load. For an SFX PSU the SIlverStone ST45SF-G modular PSU is top of my list. Any other recommendations for a good SFX PSU? Any other PSU form...

    The NFC S3mini is rather amazing and compact at 4.6L (probably less volume than that internally). I would have to profile my power requirements to see if my components could match that PSU. EDIT: I would also have to consider additionally carrying the power brick.

    Thank you for your positive comments! The half-length ATI FirePro V4800 GPU which I use right now has served me very well. For a workstation not involved in loading massive 3D data sets, anything bigger is rarely required. I'd like to build several identical machines for my kids to get them...

    Nearly 2 years ago I set out to design a SFF Professional CGI Workstation and posted my designs on [H]ard|Forum. Although I assembled those components (based on a Maximus IV Gene-Z) inside a bigger CMStacker case, I never realized the custom SFF enclosure. Working on that machine (as I'm...

    AG graininess: LG IPS236 vs Dell U2711

    The IPS-glow of the LG IPS236 is horrible while watching movies, but it does not intrude while doing most work. Coming from CRT, the LG IPS236 was a nice way for me to enter the world of LCD monitors. Always keeping my eyes open for newer monitor offerings which offer excellence. I'm...

    AG graininess: LG IPS236 vs Dell U2711

    I know this is a topic already discussed to death, but it has remained a concern to me and probably still is a concern to others. I recently assisted a friend in acquiring a Dell U2711 monitor and I tested it this weekend on my workstation. This is the first Dell Ultrasharp monitor I have...

    Dell U2711 as external monitor for Dell M6300?

    Thanks for that runs2far! What would 1920 x 1200 look like being viewed on the U2711? Perhaps I should first ask: Can 1920 x 1200 be viewed on the U2711?

    Dell U2711 as external monitor for Dell M6300?

    A friend of mine wants to know if he can use a Dell U2711 (2560 x 1440) as an external monitor to an older Dell M6300 notebook with an Nvidia quadro FX 3600M (2048 x 1536) adapter in it? If so, can it be set up to a 1:1 pixel display? (no stretched image) He wants to get the monitor first and...

    I installed the D-Link DWA-556 PCIe network adapter today. This completes the computer components for this build. In my custom SFF case these cards will be installed on flexible risers. I trust this adapter will give me good service. I've always enjoyed good Wi-Fi signal from my...
