    5970 on its way, what to expect?

    Sometimes you can see Jesus in the background. It's just a side-effect of awesomeness.

    I'd like to mod an ATX power supply, reduce height

    It seems you're right. It is indeed a transformer. Now I only need to know what to do and how to do it. Hmm.

    I'd like to mod the PCI-e slot 90 degrees.

    I've considered those but I'm not sure if that'll fit. It can't be higher then 15mm. So that's from the bottom of the motherboard till the top of the extension in the PCI-e slot. The side plugged to the GPU isn't that important. It's the motherboard part.

    I'd like to mod an ATX power supply, reduce height

    Size isn't really the problem but height is. The capacitors aren't a big problem, I can get low-profile ones, but the thing in the black box enclosure with the inside wrapped around in tape, what is it? Do I have to take any measurements to not get hurt (like I have to decharge...

    I'd like to mod the PCI-e slot 90 degrees.

    I have a question. I want to turn the PCI-e slot 90 degrees. Now the way PCI-e works is that it has pins inside on the sides which will touch the golden stripes on your GPU card or whatever you're using. And those pins lead to the lanes on the motherboard. The main question here is. Is the...

    Not sure how to cool this case (1U Case!)

    Hey, I have a special project I'm working on. It's a 1U Case. And I'm not sure how to cool it exactly. It's either 8*40x40mm fans or 6*80x80x20 fans in a flat position. But it's not that easy, there's also other problems. 40mm fans would blow against my RAM which would disrupt airflow. And...

    1U Power Supply with 80-100mm fan

    Well the title really says it all. I've been looking for 1U PSU's but most seem to have small standing 40mm fans. I'm looking for one that has a lieing fan, kinda like this Specs? 80Plus Bronze Certified. 400w would be enough, but I'm looking for 32-40 amps which tends to come with higher...

    Slim Build requires Slim Cooling

    Yeah but I'm looking for 2 VGA Vapor Chamber Coolers since they tend to be long and low profile. One for the CPU, one for the GPU. Now for the GPU it shouldn't be a problem since Sapphire uses them in their Vapor-X series, I can buy one of those, but I need another one for the CPU. Now altho...

    Slim Build requires Slim Cooling

    About 80-110mm. I've been browsing the FansBlower-website ... You sure those are for PCs? Some of those looks huge. I think only the first one is actually usuable in a PC. I'm not sure if they still use them but some laptop used to have some kind of conductive paste in some kind of plastic...

    Slim Build, rather tricky

    I'm working inside-out to avoid size problems. Let's say I'll be 10mm short on 1 side, do I throw the idea out of the window when everything else is perfect? Of course not, so that's why I simply work with a certain space as my goal, it may vary but should be close. Searching a case in which...

    Slim Build requires Slim Cooling

    Sorry for the late response. I knew I had to keep it in check, just wanted to know wether there was some problem with that I didn't account for, but it seems not! So that's one problem out of the way. As for the squirrel cage fans. I need multiple, 3 in total. One will obviously come with...

    Slim Build, rather tricky

    I'm aiming to build a build in the next few months but there are a couple of problems. Since the case isn't too large (300x300x70mm) I can't go with every configuration. One of the problems is the motherboard, which has to within 300x200mm in size. I'm planning to put a Core i5 in it but...

    I'm aiming to build a build in the next few months but there are a couple of problems. Since the case isn't too large (300x300x70mm) I'm expecting some heat issues. So I have a couple of questions and I would appreciate if you peeps could answer them. :) (1) Those liquid cooling glossy packs...

    Question List for a Tricky project

    Well that's the challenge, otherwise it would be rather easy. ^_^ A slick all-in-one machine that I could place next to my consoles and happens to be upgradable. So it's for everything, but mostly gaming in 1080p. Well, what else are you proposing? A Core 2 Duo? 65w TDP? Core i5 65 TDP...

    Question List for a Tricky project

    Well first of all it's a project, it isn't a build I happen to need right now but I'm aiming to build in the upcoming months. The goal is the size of a PS3/X360 so that's roughly 300x300x80mm. It has to fit a mATX/Core i5/HD5870/32-40A PSU. The main problem will be heat and as you might have...

    Question List for a Tricky project

    Well I'm currently working on a build and it isn't a regular one. I've assembled PCs before, no problem, but this will require some modding. Since it the subject of these questions vary alot I decided it would be best to put it in "General Hardware" so I wouldn't have to made a seperate thread...
