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.

Just got a N54L microserver and looking to upgrade the ram (Probably don't really need the extra ram since I am not running ZFS but ram is so cheap at the moment I might as well upgrade it).
It came with 2gb ECC ram.
Can I add another stick of 4gb ECC ram to make it 6gb?
Or am I best...
Here is my Antec P180B that I recently watercooled and modified.

Here is the right side of the case where I have routed all the cables to hide them:

Here is my ancient P180B that I recently watercooled.
Check out my build thread if you get time. I resprayed all of the internals black and made lots of dremel cuts to help cable management:

Here are the temperature stats. All of these are with the e6600 overclocked to 3.3GHz (standard is 2.40GHz) and the 8800GTX core clocked to 626MHz (standard is 575MHz) and all fans running at 7v

I wrapped both of my DVD-RW drivers with black electrical tape so that they matched the matt black internals of my case:
I then started making my own custom power cable that would be the exact length to power both of my DVD-RW drivers and 2x Sunbeam Rheobus fan controllers:

I decided the remount all of the heatsinks on the motherboard with some MX4. The heatsink above the cpu slot came off very easily and then I secured it back down with zip ties with MX4 since the original plastic clips couldn't be used again:
The large heatpipe system was harder to get...
One annoying thing with the P180 was that the power and HD leds would flash out of the side even when the front door was closed. So I wrapped up a piece of card with some black electrical tape and wedged it down the edge to stop the light showing when the door was closed:
I used a...
Next I set about cutting up my P180 and respraying the internals black.
First I disconnected and removed everything from inside my P180:
And then set everything up again outside the case so that I could still use my pc while I was modding the case. I was getting some nice temps with it...
Next I bought another lot of stuff, most of this is new from online stores. The Swiftech pump and EK X-Top were used but in very good condition. The thermochill radiator was used and in really bad condition - scratched paint and very badly corroded inside, but I got it dirt cheap! As you can see...
So this is what my Antec P180B looked like to start off with:
First thing I did was mark out all of the cuts I wanted to make into the case to help with cable management:
I bought some primochill tubing, blank pci plates and EK compression fittings all new:

I watercooled my Antec P180B a few months ago (my first ever water cooling build) and took pictures during the process but didn't have time for a build log during. So I thought I would post up the details now I have a bit more time :)
I had the bug for doing something with my computer and had a...
I am buying an 'XSPC Delta V3' cpu block 2nd hand for cheap. But it doesnt come with a mobo backplate (they never came with one originally even when new). When you read all the reviews about the Delta V3 they mention that you should ideally use a backplate to stop the mobo flexing.

I didn't actually notice he was balancing the rad on the shelf! I have decided to just stick with a 360 rad and get some 'EK Rad Holder' brackets to hold it against the rear of my case :)
