Haha, yeah, something was definitely wrong with my old S12, that thing was perfect, no coil whine, and still works to this day. It's a shame Seasonic is going downhill, I really love my older Seasonic PSU's.

Got one from this firesale, and it had massive coil whine and the fan spins up to full speed every minute or so for about 3 seconds for no reason regardless of the load. From the coil whine complaints, there's a reason this PSU has been discounted so much. Also, the modular cabling is...

Play BF3 on the PC with jaw dropping Ultra settings with 60FPS minimum, getting pwnd by clans with FIOS connections and having teammates I can't talk to and they all drive/fly away by themselves without helping out with so much as a short ride, or ammo, or health, etc. Or play BF3 on the XBox...

Battlelog is fine, but it's an unnecessary delay between browsing for games, and then launching the game. Much slower to switch servers than having an In-Game browser.

Might have to get the XBox 360 version so I can make myself feel better raping console players there. [H]ardcore PC Gamers are a lot more skilled on BF3 as far as I've seen thus far. Ouch. My ass. It hurts.....seriously... If only Battlelog stats were linked and transferred between...

Thanks for running this server, $trider. Definitely need some practice with choppers. "Get to tha CHOPPA!"

Great concept, nice case, really crappy Company. It's a damn shame.

Origin ID: 3DW00D Playing BF3 PC. Copy and Paste it, it has two "zeroes" instead of "O"s.

How are the slower Gentle Typhoons compared to the discontinued S-Flex's? I really hate that Scythe discontinued them, despite how crappy they worked / sounded as intake fans with any grill obstructions.

Creative fan ducting for better airflow and exhausting of GPU hot air is another option if you don't mind a little case modding.

Meh, they're available at Newegg. But I prefer to play games, not mine. Sigh, I remember the gold old days when spare computing cycles were used for lofty extraterrestrial pursuits or bettering humanity.

OK, it's the middle of August. Any word on the Da Box Carrying Bag being up for sale? -Ed

So, any word on when the LanGear Carrying bag is going to be available? One of the reasons I got the Da Box was for that bag. If it's not yet in production, I have a suggestion. Please make your logo a LOT smaller. It looks really tacky and cheap to have the logo plastered over the entire...

Fixed. ;)

This build has turned out into a nightmare build for me. The overheating X58 NB has been pissing me off. I've already had an Asus Rampage II GENE die on me. Had to buy another one and finally got it working and stable so far. Here's an Asus Rampage II GENE with Megahalems Rev B and...

MNPCTech Aluminum feet. Had to use different, smaller machine screws. Had to file down the head flat a bit to get the clearance space needed. Basically you have about 3mm of height inside the recessed area. -Ed

Fan mount holes in the back for the 80mm fans look fine. They look like they're countersunk, and rubber fan mounts fit just fine. Now the ones on the side could be a problem. If it's like the micro ATX Da Box, rubber fan mounts stick out a bit too far and hinder closing the case. I used...

I would prefer slot load as if you don't use an optical drive, it will look clean without as well. Not to mention not having to cut out the bezel pieces. Nice layout. Looks promising.

My Da Box finally arrived today. Much more lightweight than I though it would be. Very sturdy build as well. There are some QC issues though. Power button is very loose, not centered, and arrived hanging out of the hole like pictured. Front bezel had some chips and missing...

Yeah, I had a sneaking suspicion that the mobo tray would be an issue. Looks like I'll have to use countersunk screws. Hopefully I can get the nuts to fit the bottom of the feet. -Ed

Megahalems Rev B with Scythe 120mm SFF21D on an i7-920 at a modest 3.37GHz OC. Going for cool and quiet here. Lots of hacksaw and nibbler action. HDD tray area no longer usable. I'm only using a single 2.5" SSD and one 3.5" HDD anyways. Top 5.25" bay just barely fits an Optical drive. -Ed

Hey, mattinv. Any word on when you're hoping to have the carrying bag available? -Ed

Mmmmm. TastyKakes..... Thanks. Looks like the MNPCTech feet will fit just fine. Matt just emailed me that there aren't predrilled holes. No worries, I can handle a little drilling action. There should be holes drilled there by default in the future. I don't think most people would be...

Are there holes already there, or would holes have to be drilled?

What's the distance from the center of the Case feet dimple area to the left/right edge of the case on the bottom? I want to use these MNPCTech aluminum case feet which have a 1.75" diameter. Want to make sure they fit, and don't stick out the sides...

That is disappointing. I would expect to NOT have to file anything down on such an expensive case, period. Especially with one where you pay EXTRA for the black color on the inside. Where exactly did you have to file it down to get something to fit? -Ed

It's been just over a week since I paid and placed an order (since they only take PayPal, they take your money BEFORE shipping). I was told the case was in stock and ready to ship. I've gotten a lot of excuses and empty promises, and still no shipment of my order. It would behoove Matt to...

I was told it was in stock and would ship soon. If you registered on the site, you can log in and check your order status. Mine is "Awaiting Shipment" still.

Hi, Matt. I emailed you about if my order has shipped yet. Thanks, -Ed

Just placed an order for a Blackheart. Forgot to add in the notes that I'm from [H] forums. Not that would really mean anything other than a thank you reference. I'm sick and tired of trying to cram my current build into my old QPack case. I've modded it so much, it's falling apart. I...

Well, I removed the Northbridge to apply Arctic Silver 5 in place of the thermal pads. Looks like it might be possible to stack a Thermalright HR-05 IFX on top of the bottom plate. But would require removing the brass standoffs and drilling through. Or drilling holes where the top heatsink...

Anyone get the Thermalright HR-05 to bolt directly on the bottom plate of the stock Northbridge heatsink? Or is the Noctua NC-U6 the only one that works that way?

Oh, man. I really wish I had seen this case before I modded my old QPack Micro ATX cube case. Would've saved me a lot of work. I managed to fit a Megahalems and Asus Rampage II Gene in there. I imagine it would fit in Da Box 100 no problem. BTW, what's the difference between the...

Ah CRAAAAAP! That could've saved me a lot of work. Da Box 100 is perfect!!!! What's "MOM"? -Ed

That's an impressive cram into a small box. I'm attempting a similar cram into a similar box. Might be possible to fit a Megahalems, although not without a LOT more hacksaw action.

Dear gawd. What a mess. Funniest / shocking news I've seen here. I just bought an i7 920 last week. LOL, but from Micro Center B&M

Thanks. Still looking. C'mon. Someone has to have one they'd be willing to part with. :)
