I'm about to put a down payment on this case. My one mod I want to do on it is to include the fan LED on/off system from a Bitfenix case. So I have these Bitfenix fans that can be switched on or off. The way it works is, in their case, they have what looks like a simple 2-pin board (this) that...

After pouring over pictures and videos from suggestions here, I think the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv (tempered glass) may be the winner. I did see the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv (non-glass) before posting here and it didn't really move me, but I did not know about the tempered glass edition which is a...

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you! All but the Phanteks are cases I never even saw mentioned in my 2 days of watching videos. I will go check them out and see what is avalible locally. Thanks again!

I'm looking to hire a professional case modder. Where would be the best place to post that request? Or is that even something I can post? Thanks!

I'm looking for that case that you saw and said: "That case is amazing, but who is stupid enough to pay that price for a case?". Please help me be that stupid. I am really tired of changing cases, I just threw out a half dozen old tower cases because I needed the space. So I would like to buy a...

So I contacted Enermax and, I am waiting for another reply, but it seems it should work. The function of the Colossus switch and the switch on the fan should be the same. The one issue they brought up is whether the mode I want on the Vegas fans will occur with the button press of turning on the...

Thanks man, I really like the looks of that Silver Arrow as well. I really appreciate your advice!

Thanks for the tip!

I have close to 120TBs of storage in my storage server and I need more space again. Things just exploded when I started having kids and all the home videos, but I've been a data hoarder since the days when 200GB PATA drvies in raid 5 cost almost US$2k. You seem to be at the very beginning of...

I would second the Fractal Black Pearl R4. I had one for my 2nd storage server till I needed more bays and I really liked it. Never had a problem so don't know how Fractal's support is. The case is all sleek blackness with some foam for sound dampening. Room for 8 drives but you can actually...

I have a Bitfenix Colossus with an LED control system. Let me get it out of the way and say that Bitfenix has no support and I do NOT recommend anyone buy from Bitfenix ever. I have multiple tickets over the years asking them what fan I could buy and I have never received an answer. I have yet...

I'm sorry I misstyped, I have a Noctua U14, not D14. I've got a Haswell-E in a Bitfenix Colossus. Airflow is pretty good I've got 2 230mm fans and 2 140mm fans on the case and then 2 120mm fans on the U14. I really don't want to go liquid, I've tried it before and had accidents. Also I have...

Do these support PWM? Not sure if you would know, but its worth asking as Bitfenix has never replied to my multiple tickets over the years, do you know if these fans will work with the Colossus Windows' LED control system? This: gives me hope but I've wasted money on a few Bitfeix fans over...

One would think this has been answered many times but for the life of me I cannot find one heads up comparison. All I could find was TRUE Spirit 140 Power comparisons to the older NH-D14 or the NH-D15 to earlier revisions of the TRUE (not the newest Power version). Best I could find was one guy...

Thanks man! What makes you chose that over, say, the Sabertooth?

After 3 days of reading up in my spare moments, I am stuck on these 3 motherboards Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming GT Asus Sabertooth Z170 Mark 1 Asus ROG Maximus VIII Hero This is for an air cooled gaming build that needs at least 8 SATA ports. I will buy an i7 6700K 32GB DDR4 RAM (going to go...

Awesome, thank you very much!

Oh cool. So no striping will be done on the other drives that are not part of Smart Response?

Doh, sorry yes Smart Response. I am reading this: http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/sb/CS-032826.htm and RST is mentioned in the first sentence an dthat must've stuck in my head :blush:. The instructions say I have to enable raid though, which is what is hanging me up as I do not want ot...

I am setting up a new Haswell system and before I start committing time into something that might not work, I thought I'd ask for help. I have the following hard drives: 2 x Samsung 840 Pro 1 x WD 1TB Black 5 x 3TB WD Greens I will connect all these drives to my mobo (MSI Z87-GD65)...

That is really cool, thanks! Getting the demo now.

Foxmarks is cross browser syncing, so if you use multiple browsers, this is the way to go. Beware, your bookmarks are semi-public or fully public depends on how you set it up. I asked for the same system as Lastpass, where the bookmarks are encrypted locally and then sent to the cloud encrypted...

I'm looking for an app or anything that can give me a list of files that do *not* have an accompanying file with the exact same name but a txt extension. Basically this is for media files (mkv, iso, avi, mp4, ts, etc) that is missing an accompanying metadata file. So one file in the pair...

Retail pack from buy.com. Unfortunately, the HBA cars do not have this option, only the raid cards do. I have 2 LSI/3ware raid cards which have this option. Thanks though! I am sorry, I am confused.:o My RMA was approved and I will go through the process. It was a 3 day weekend here...

Holding 'end' didn't work, I am sorry to say. Good idea though, never thought of that before, thanks! I'm giving up and RMAing the card. LSI support has been really fast with replies and helpful so far, so that's good at least. Guess that shinny new card feeling is going to have to wait for...

Interesting alamone, thanks! Its 2:30am here now and the PC is in pieces as I was trying different motherboards I had lying around, so I am heading to bed, but I will give that a try tomorrow and post back. Thanks again!

Appreciate that man, thanks! I did try that, as LSI KB has that as a possible problem. I disabled everything just to test it.It didn't help :(. LSI support is fast, kudos to them on that. They are suggesting its a bad flash and offering to RMA the board. As I am in the Philippines though, I...

I got a brand new HBA SAS 9201-16i I was excited to get. I put it on a non-production play around machine to test how it works yesterday. Specs: SAS 9201-16i Gigabyte ga-p35-ds4 Intel core i7 16GB DDR2 I installed it and hooked up a bunch of drives to it and booted. Everything was great. Did...

It is crazy late, spent a couple hours messing with it. I think I can say the card is bad. Created an array with just 4 HD Tune certified disks, aircon on full blast (I had to put on a jacket to go into my workroom) and industrial fan (steel blades, loud as an airplane) blowing into an open...

Thanks for the replies! I'll check out the PSU. Dust is definitely an issue, though how much of one I don't know yet. Cleaning the PSU couldn't hurt. :) I actually don't know. What are the ramifications of this? I can get in touch with Promise support and find out. Their support is really good...

Thanks everyone, sorry for the late reply, its been a hectic day. I will be working on this tonight, hopefully I can set aside a couple hours after dinner before I have to go back into the office. Time zones suck. Will update after I go through the process suggested here.

Thanks for all the replies! Thanks! Stress testing with a big old industrial fan blowing on it, is on the troubleshooting checklist. I will give this one more night (tomorrow night) then I have no more time to work on it this week :(. If it fails under that condition, then for sure it is dead...

Consider an Asus Transformer. Got one for my Mom who has similar needs (minus facebook) and its working out great for her so far. I know you said Win7, but that's what my mom thought she wanted too but she is so happy with the transformer because its so much more portable than anything with...

D-link has one that integrates with their routers (link. Works well for me :).

The card is question is a Promise Ex8350. This card is old. I believe I bought it in like 2004. I've since pulled it into different systems as I bought better raid cards. Its been doing duty on a MCE array for recorded TV and junk my cousins and I upload to it for my Grandmother to watch. My...

Thank you very much for your reply! Ah crud, I actually abandoned Outpost a while back because it caused a no-boot problem with my gaming keyboard: http://outpostfirewall.com/forum/showthread.php?p=170872#post170872. Outpost support was unresponsive and useless to that problem, as I noted in...

Thanks! No, I did not install any new drivers. There were a bunch in recommended updates in win update but, knowing what a problem they can cause, I did not install any of them. Also there was no hidden network adapter drivers. Unfortunately I did not have a roll back/system restore point...

+1 for both Objectdock pro and fences. I can't stand wincustomize but, embarrassingly enough, it looks like Stardock threw up all over my Win installs. :o Right when I was starting to get really frustrated with Objectdock, they threw up the 2.0 beta (now final and for sale). Its a nice update...

Thanks for the replies! @jay2472000, you suspect its a win update? Was this teredo thing in an update? Yuk, I hate sorting through win updates to find a culprit but what you say makes a lot of sense, guess I have to do it. @Demon10000, that is a really good idea mate. No, I didn't think of...

This is an HTPC. Its older and not used much. Its in a guest room. I have relatives coming for the Christmas holidays so am running though and making sure all my house tech works. Its on a Asus A8N-SLI SE and was using the mobo NIC. While, as you will see, hardware is probably not relevant, I'd...
