    I'm looking to put together a MATX or a MITX SFF and I'm looking for opinions on whether or not I should consider a 1155 build or to build a 1156 one instead? I want to overclock so that's very important to me and it means I'll need to get one of the K series 1155 CPU's but I really don't...

    I'm planning on using an odd kind of case for an SFF build (old Apple G4 Cube) and I was wondering if it's possible to do an external video card to help with space limitations and heat down? Reading this on building one but that's for a laptop. I'm thinking that it could just as easily work...

    Zotac NF610I-K-E Cool. :)

    Just saw this up on Newegg, I've got the older wifi version of it and I'm rather happy with it. It makes for a nice little basic system. Anyways, the 620i-K-E seems like the perfect basis for a WHS box. It's got onboard gigabit ethernet and four SATA ports, drop in a Celeron 430 and two gigs...

    I'm looking at two boards for my Athlon X4, one is DDR2 and the other is DDR3. Now, I already have four gigs of DDR2 800 memory (4x1 gig sticks) so it's going to be a lot cheaper to go with a DDR2 board and I know DDR3 isn't all that important for AMD's chips. The boards...
