    The Phoenix Pro series has optimized firmware to improve random 4k read/write speeds. Small random reads & writes are the key indicator of how snappy and responsive a computer will be, hence the special attention.

    Silence Velociraptor without voiding warranty

    *shrug* my VR 160GB (HLFS) is quieter than my Seagate 7200.9. Never noticed any noise from it really, but of course my case is on the floor, not my desktop. And while he side has been open since I installed the VR, I usually wear headphones. Another factor may be the new 2.5->3.5 heatsink, its...

    13" Laptop with dedicated GPU?

    If you're comfortable moving up to a 14.1" check out the ASUS N80vN series. They are a bit large for a 14" but its nice and light and comes with a 9650M GT 1024MB. 9650M GT is equivalent to a 9500GT but a 1280x800 resolution, you're going to be able to run decent settings with most games. (I...

    Lian-Li PC-A20B thoughts?

    Its a big improvement over the PC-A10, but of course you gotta shell out almost $400 which makes this very nice case a bit too pricey IMO. :(

    Mid-Tower Case Suggestion?

    I would recommend the Lancool PC-K7. Its a Lian Li built with a steel frame and aluminum sides, top & front. Typical Lian Li classy, simple looks and excellent build quality. Most standard Lian Li accessories should fit this case (drive bezels, PCI slot fans, etc). Has dual 120mm intakes...

    LARGE cube wanted.

    I'm in Virginia. I'm not looking to pick any up right away but they seem to be a pretty good (inexpensive) option for adding capacity to my media server in the future, and they look good too.

    Wiretap's Home Theater

    Great worklog, the constant updates are much appreciated. I'm looking forward to seeing it all come together. I am curious about your choice of Yambeka Audio speakers. I'm currently looking for a ~$500 5.1 speaker set to pair with an Onkyo TX-SR504, and I'm considering the Yambeka 5pc...

    The World's Most Elegant & Luxurious Aluminum PC Case: Windy Soldam / Abee AS

    The build quality looks great on a 'fit & finish' level, and the execution is great, but the overall designs aren't really groundbreaking. Even the double-wall panels & rear shroud for silent operation are nothing new, see the Lian Li PC-S80 Pretty neat overall though.

    Project 005: Lian Li A05 silenced and air cooled.

    Yeah with stock coolers, it would be about 10-15C hotter. A 8800GTX with the standard cooling setup runs at ambient +55-60C under load in a well ventilated case. By comparison a 7900GT runs at ambient +40-45C under load. (i.e. 25C ambient the 8800GTX is commonly at 80-85C under load, and the...

    highly skilled work on the side fan duct, just thought I would point you to these Lian Li products specifically made for that mounting point.. BS-01 120mm blower side-mount exhaust fan (blower fans are rather quiet in general)...
