    Request: mATX & mITX cases with PSU mounted in front

    i.e. Silverstone SG09/10 After working on my first front-mounted-PSU case (Lian-Li A05) I've been obsessed with cases that mount PSU's in the front thereby reducing the case size or width to that of the motherboard. I've been out of the game for a while and started noticing more and more...

    Anyone use a PCIE extension cable to utilize a blocked PCIE slot for sound card?

    Not sure if this belongs here but for those using double-wide graphics cards that block other slots, have you used an extension cable to still use a sound card? If so, any suggestions on a cable? The one's I've researched apparently still don't fit behind a double-wide square card.

    i5-2400 + ???? video card(s) for triple monitor gaming setup

    Decent *single slot* vid card to replace ATI 5770?

    Hey all, I'm not doing to well on my Google / Newegg searches to find a single slot card to replace my current ATI 5770. I've seen a few AFOX cards but can't seem to find them available... Also saw a more available 6770 but for some reason, it looks like it can't outperform a 5770...

    how much CPU (AM3) is needed to push CrossFire 5770's?

    I'm thinkin about slappin on another 5770 but something tells me my 550BE (3.6GHz) isn't going to cut it. No, I can't unlock the other cores. Will a higher overclock on my dualcore suffice or do I need to look at quads? TIA>
