Looks like the edge of the north bridge cooler is cut away to clear the 2nd PCIe 1x slot, so I believe only the first would be blocked. Combine this with a full 7 slots, instead of the now more common 6, a single legacy PCI slot, instead of the 2 or 3 found on most motherboards, and a pair of...

Corsair have done well in producing quality products in various markets (memory, power supplies, cases, cooling, and now audio) that meet the needs (or wants?) of hardware enthusiasts.

What do I like about Corsair? Well, whenit comes to producing quality products which meet the needs (wants) of harware enthusiasts, they have a better track record than most.

I'm thinking it's about time to upgrade my P45 (Core 2Duo). From the reviews and previews I've seen so far, the MSI G65 and Gigabyte UD4 both look good. Still waiting to see what ASUS and the rest have in the same price range.

And taking out other ships from ranges far exceeding the targets ability to return fire. Until all naval powers have railguns. At which point something like battleship duels of old would be possible, though at greatly extended ranges.

And this is why many of your customers block your ads. I have no objection to ads; however, I do object to those ads running JavaScript (because it can be so easily abused by malicious and/or tracking ads). Theoretically noscript allows me to block their scripts without blocking the ads...

There a quite a few countries with a motive and the wherewithal to pull this off: US, UK, Russia, Germany, France, Russia and Isreal. Perhaps India and Pakistan should be added to that list too. Also the Sunni muslem countries close to Iran would be well motivated (according the recent...

Coolmaster make some really nice high end power supplies, like the Real Power Pro 1000 in your linked review. It's sad to see them ruining their reputation with low/mid range products, like the GX650, which are a steaming pile of excrement.

Nice work! This, and your mission PC, leave me wanting to do something similar myself.

In answer to the questions you posed on the Core77 site: I like the long legs and the cane. Red oak works for me. I think any of the common hardwoods would work: oak, maple, cherry, walnut, birch, beech, etc.. With the right stain even poplar would work. Not sure about softwoods...

Nice. I like the translucent cover for the motherboard chamber.

So 3x2 and 2x2 are no good due to centre bezel. Like several others, I'd love to see 5x1 portait mode. 3x1 (24") = 3240x1920 (6,220,800 pixels) 3600x1920 (6,912,000 pixels) 5x1 (24") = 5400x1920 (10,368,000 pixels) 6000x1920 (11,520,000 pixels) 3x1...

Ok, so how about attaching the rad mounts to the back/flat side of the case? It'd be one piece, though too heavy to be readily portable.

Hmmm. How about mounting radiators (say four quad rads) in stand beside it? I prefere the Edelweiss case too. And for the price of the Level 10, I could probably do a full custom wood & acrylic case.

Mandatory boob jobs for aussie porn starlets? What's next? Banning porn actors with small dicks?

Hydrogen and helium are the lowest molecular weight working fluids, and thus can achieve the higher velocities and efficiencies than any other working fluid. Helium requires higher operating temperatures which would wear out gun barrels quickly; therefore, hydrogen is a better choice.

It's good to see DFI reviewed at HardOCP.

The high exhaust temp and 85 degree caps leave me worrying about it's long term durability at moderate to high loads. And if it smelled at 100V that strikes me as a very bad sign. For these reasons alone I don't think this unit deserved an editor's choice award. And the short warranty leaves me...

This PSU isn't just decent - it' s one of the best performing units available!

A later post indicated that the maximum liability is $6 billion, which the Canadian records labels might survive (proabably with an infusion of cash from their foreign parent companies). $60B would wipe out the Canadian record labels; however, they're all limited liability corporations, so...

Hopefully the bank does so without prompting.

When something is stolen (i.e. taking a physical copy from a store), the legal owner no longer has that thing. Illegal downloading copies the thing, and thus the owner does not loose the thing itself and can continue using/selling it. Since physical goods cannot be trivially copied, the analogy...

I'd prefere it with more PCIe slots and no PCI, but at least the first double width graphics card blocks a useless (to me) PCI rather than a PCIe slot (like most motherboards today). I generally prefere X58 boards as I could (without penalty) put the first graphics card in whichever slot is more...

And are you planning to wait until the AMD 6870 is reviewed before deciding on the GT300? Whatever you buy today, there'll be something faster and/or cheaper hitting the market in 6 months. Based on currently available information, rumours and speculation, it looks like GT300 will be both...

You can send one my way...

If Charlie is right about the margins on GT2xx cards, and with the AMD/ATI 5xxx further squeezing the slim to non-existant profit margins on GT2xx cards, it doesn't make sense for Nvidia nor their partners to make them. And with GT300/GF100 coming soon, a 40nm shrink of GT200 wouldn't make sense...

Not sure. The first thing that comes to mind is a pair of cold cathode case lights, either white or coloured to match the mica, evenly spaced on each side of the case.

Now that's interesting. Not what I would've expected. And if upgrading to the FM181 fans isn't enough, one could cut blowholes in side panel and stick the stock fans there :D.

If ASUS were really using more phases, it would reduce voltage fluctuations: the power mosfets in each phase switch on and off, the filtering inductors and capacitors mostly (but not completely) eliminate this ripple. With multiple phases each switches with a slightly different time offset, thus...

:( :) :D I don't like the naugahyde - the flash/light reflections in photograph make it look awful, might be better in person. I like both the slate sides, but the almond slate looks a little bland, so I prefere the moss slate. EDIT: granite might look nice. But i'm still partial to the...

http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_spec.php?pno=FN181&area=usa These are low static pressure fans, so they'll be sensitive to airflow impediments - like dust filters, hex mesh puchouts in case, and just having to pull air around the sides of the case (since there's only a couple cm of...

It looks OK, it probably matches the mission style, and if it matches the rest of your living room, go for it - but it wouldn't be my choice. I think the backlit mica panels discussed above would look really sweet...

Thanks for the links! I hadn't seen the FT-02 before, and I like it :D.

I think this comes down to a basic logical principle: it is impossible to prove the noexistance of a thing (in this case God). Further, the evidence in favour of God existing is entirely ancedotal (and thus weak). Since the "very very very smart" people are likely aware of both these facts...

As I recall most early reviews bashed the Bloodrage for BIOS issues. Later reviews were more positive - presumably Foxconn had fixed many/all of the BIOS issues in the interim.

Perhaps a Celeron ULV would cost less than an Atom? The CULV would also be faster, but would use more power and produce more heat.

I think the A70F is a better case the B70: Nicer looking front bezel Simpler hard drive bays allow 20mm more space for graphics cards, water cooling equiment, etc. Truncated motherboard tray facilitates routing cables behind tray A70F B70

Those are older discontinued products. The current Lancool line is limited to the "Dragonlord" series, which are steel cases all using the same basic structure and similar exterior pieces, with minor differences in fan configuration and bundled options (i.e. windowed vs. plain side panel, grey...

If I recall correctly, the SG05 uses a standard ATX power supply, so it's possible to install a more robust power supply to support a high performance video card. Not sure if it's just a bad picture, or if the SG05 really is hideous in white. I think the black SG05 looks good. That'd be my...
