There are some changes I already have in the queue: -Add 2 USB ports on side next to power button -Add approx 3/4" to depth to allow for optional fans in front of video card -Create a version with aluminum front and sides (if demand is there) -And of course the build quality will go way up as it...

Hi everyone! Some might remember my previous scratch case build from this thread: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1588463&highlight=slimitx The basic idea for the SlimITX case is to create a slim desktop case that can accept some powerful miniITX components, along with a dual slot video...

He may be right about realtime graphics being 8 years behind pre rendered but I havent seen an 8 year old movie (and rarely a movie today) that I would consider indistinguishable from reality I think more has to be done with the way we model things, the fluidity and physics to help from here...

What's the white thing to the left? At a quick glance I thought you were using phase change cooling on the CPU LOL

So I think I mentioned before that the bearings on the Silverstone cooler were shot. Another issue with the Silverstone cooler is it had thin fan blades which means low static pressure. I wasn't getting good flow out my side vents with it. My friend donated his stock 2500k cooler to me and I...

I wonder if this is because the GCN GPUs will have awful power consumption (much like first gen Fermis- also designed for compute performance) 28nm refresh with VLIW-4 will be nice. That means I probably will get my new x770 :)

It's for an SFF pc, full size cards won't fit, I could squeeze in a GTX460 but it's not worth the upgrade :P

I really want a replacement for the 5770 darnit. Does it sound like this means they will replace it (i.e. 7770?) or that it will have to wait for the next gen?

This plane was at my school for a demonstration. It's a pretty great idea. It's really not a "flying car" though. The beauty of the concept is for weekend pilots that want to have a plane but don't want to pay for hangar space. With a Terrafugia, you can park it in your garage and drive it to...

Wha??? 4870 ~= 5770 ~= 550Ti, at least that's what I thought. In fact if anything, I bet the 4870 is faster than the 550 Also I think that CPU has enough power to stay relevant if overclocked. SC2 is unfortunately one of the most CPU bound games out there so every little bit will help. Make...

It's just OK. When the PSU was stock it was definitely the loudest factor when the computer is at idle (idle noise ~38 dBa from 3 feet). Not so much in a decibel way, but the high pitched whine of the fans stood out. Under load you couldn't hear the PSU however as the GPU would definitely take...

Just wanted to let everyone know that this project is not dead yet... this is only the first incarnation :) I'm still hesitant to call this version of the case a finished product. I've been tinkering with a lot of ideas in my head over the past two weeks because I've been unhappy with the case's...

I don't understand what you are trying to do. Auxilliary output? Do you mean preamp outputs? Or an auxilliary input? Or do you literally mean an auxilliary output- like, a headphone jack?

EDIT: Oops, good call heflys20 I would treat this whole article with a heavy grain of salt

I'm honestly so impressed with the 2500k. I was around for the early Celerons, PIII, P4, and I've never felt as satisfied with an overclock as the 2500k. There's just something beautiful about a chip which runs so cool, and has so much overclocking headroom, with an unlocked multiplier, all for...
