Trying to find a black Lian-Li v2000... used okay, new even better. Anyone know any stores in the US who still have stock, or anyone have one sitting around they'd like to sell?

Hello all, been a while since I've been around but starting a new build and needed help trying to figure out how to do something and this was the first place I thought to come look for help. I need to find a way to make 3 LEDs flicker like a candle flame. I thought about trying to gut a...

Hello all, been a while since I've been around but starting a new build and needed help trying to figure out how to do something and this was the first place I thought to come look for help. I need to find a way to make 3 LEDs flicker like a candle flame. I thought about trying to gut a...

Okay... I'm planning my next build (actually I've started the necessary mods for watercooling on a Lian-Li v2000) and was hoping to get a little idea of what you'd all think I should toss money around on: The current build: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe AMD Athlon 4000+ San Diego XFX GeForce 7900...

I tried posting this in the PSU forum but figured someone here might have more experience with establishing a set-up along these lines. I'm trying to figure out a way to run two PSUs on my watercooling rig, I'd like to have both start up with a single power-on switch but here's the kicker -...

I've found a couple how-to's showing how to anodize aluminum in my garage but don't really want to play around with acid and electricity - I'm a little clumsy and can see the yellow hazmat truck pulling up right behing the coroner's waggon. Does anyone know of any companies that do custom...

I've read through the Dual PSU sticky and was happy to find the diagram for the relay method to turn on the second PSU but I'm wondering if anyone has seen a diagram or commercially available product that also incorporates a delay switch? I'm planning on running an old 350w secondary to my...

Different approach to the old "which board should I get" question: I'm working on planning my next build, the case should be here from the cutters by the end of January, with a little more modding work to accomodate the watercooling loops the first parts of hardware will be going in...

I'm really hoping someone can help me out here. My current build is pretty dated but at this time I cannot afford to rebuild or upgrade and need my workhorse to stay alive. First the details: Motherboard: A8N32-SLI Deluxe Processor: AMD Athlon 64 4000+ (I think it's a San Diego but can't...

Before I go buying all sorts of parts, spending a week sculpting fiberglass, modding my brins out... ...anyone know of a product that combines a cradle, car charger, and RCA-out for a 5G iPod video 30 Gig? All I can find are the FM transmitters that sound like crap. My car's head unit has...

Okay... I'm pretty happy with my 19" KDS CRT that I've had for 5 years but I'm looking to make the plunge into LCD (maybe). I'm wondering what everyone's suggestions would be. I'm considering going with a 22" Widescreen panel. Currently my machine is running a single XFX 9800 GT although...

Hello all, was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction to fix a minor annoyance my new build keeps encountering on boot. This machine is running Windows XP Home Edition, SP2 was slipstreamed in the install. All updates are current. The build is a watercooled (no...

I'm looking to mod some USB hubs and a DSL modem to match my Linksys router... anyone have dead/used/cheap wired (no antanae) Linksys routers laying around? Working condition is not important, power cords not needed... just want good condition outside. Why wouldn't Linksys make USB hubs to...

Ho'kay... I'm stuck now... I planned to have the window on my Lian-Li v2000 laser etched... KoolPCMods who used to do a fine job has gone out of business (remember seeing them selling the laser etcher) and HyperKore can't etch a window large enough for this case... Anyone know any other...

Ho'kay... I've never manually adjusted memory settings from BIOS before but I'm checking everything to be certain I'm getting my money's worth and wanted to check that everything is optimized before I start playing with overclocking... could someone take a look at these memory settings and check...

Hello everyone, I've recently completed the build below but after a ton of problems, I've decided to try starting over. I'm going to be replacing the motherboard tonight to see if that helps solve any of the issues and hoped someone could help me with setting BIOS since I think that may also be...

Just wondering if anyone knows Windows inside and out enough to know what the performance monitor object is for memory(RAM) usage? I'm trying to set-up a plug-in for LCD Smartie to graphically display RAM usage but can't find the correct object to use. Thanks much.

Been working on (about) my 10th build for the last 10 days... nothing but problems. Initially I blamed Windows (as most usually do) but now I'm fairly confident that it's all the motherboard. The Build: ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe AMD Athon 64 4000+ XFX 7900 GT Corsair XMS 400 RAM (2x1gig...

Hello everyone (especially Aquaero users), Was just wondering if someone could share their Aquaero settings with me, so many options I'm drowning in a mess of numbers. Anyone familar with the software care to help me set this up? The Build: ASUS K8N32-SLI AMD Athlon 64 4000+ Corsair...

I've been asking on the O/S forum but now I'm fairly certain this is a MoBo issue and not to be blamed on Borg Gates (this time). I've been working on getting the new build to work for the last 12 hours and am close to pitching the whole thing out the window... first the build details...

Okay... just put together a new machine and I'm tired of it not working for crap... the best I can figure is that there's a problem with how it's installing the Windows Update software. If I attempt to install the Windows Update software, when I reboot... well, it doesn't. It downloads the...

Was all set to build the next rig... all the parts were ready to go... all I needed was my graphics card... today, waiting for me was a shiney new XFX 7900 GT... I was thrilled. The baby would be alive tonight. Get everything unpacked... look it all over once and notice... My Innovatek...

Anyone know if such a thing exists? I have a PCP&C Power Supply and a Lian-Li v2000... the PCI-e power leads from the PCP&C are too short to reach all the way up to a reverse mounted video card. Thanks much!

Let me preface this by saying I'm not planning on doing it, but I was sitting around pouring rubbing alcohol on a cut and my mind started wandering... Has anyone ever used Isopropyl Alcohol in a water cooling loop? What advantages/disadvantages could you forsee. I know the 50% solution's...

Okay... I'm a little preterbed now... the SATA wires on my PCP&C Power supply are too short to reach the drives the way I want to route them. I've heard using extenders costs Amps or Volts or something. Is that true? What about if you cut the wires, splice in another 8" of wire? If...

Okay, so I finally got around to getting water in my new cooling loop... it's on it's 48 hour leak test right now but I've noticed something odd: The loop is an Innovatek loop (CPU and GPU blocks, radiator, hoses, fittings, flow sensor, res) with the exception of the pump (an Aqua Computer...

I've seen the post with the magic number to get the impules to read correctly on the Aquaero (thanks TN). Before I fire this bad boy up though: Are the pin-outs on the connector the same or do I have to rearrange them? I can't find anything that identifies what wire is what on the...

What kind of resistor would I need to use inline to undervolt a 12v fan to 7v? Does it go in the positive or negative wire? I'm out of fan connections on my fan controller and don't feel like installing another one just for a blowhole fan. I figure it should be fine if I just undervolt it...

Okay, so I'd really like my Aquaero to measure the core temps from the CPU and control fan speeds based on that temp but I can't figure out how to connect this thermal probe, any suggestions? It's an Athlon 64 on a Asus A8N32 board. I know enough to not try to sandwich it between the block...

Any problems here? I'm working on my next build, I'm using an Asus A8N32-SLI motherboard and do not plan to use any type of RAID in the system... here's what I'm planning and where my question comes in: I plan to use a Hitachi Deskstar SATA2 (3.0Gb/s) 250gig HDD as my primary drive loaded...

I know, it's not really a watercooling question I have but I figure someone who actually watercooled this board would be the best person to search for. I'm trying to find a second passive Mofset heatsink for an A8N32-SLI (the silver one that would traditionally sit above the CPU (below in a...

Planned build: Cooling an Athlon 64 x2 4400+ on an Asus A8N32-SLI board w/ (initially) one 7800 (GT or GTX) which will eventually become 2 of the same. Rig will be mounted in a v2000 case. Currently I'm planning a single loop using a 2.120 radiator. I'm tossing around the idea of also...

Uncle Sam was pretty good to me this year so I've decided to blow some of the income tax refund on a little upgrade. Currently I have an Asus A8N32-SLI, 2 Hitachi Deskstar 250g HDDs, and a PC P&C 510 SLI and am looking at an Athlon X2 4200. The last part up the upgrade will be video but I'm...

Has anyone installed an Innovatek XX-Flow rev2 on an Athlon 64? I'm confused on how it will fit. I have the block and retention system in my hand and I'm looking at pics of an Asus A8N-SLI Premium. The CPU socket looks pretty much centered in the hold-down area. The bottom of the...

Yeah... I know... I hate when people post these too. But all the research into watercooling, video, sound, processors, etc has me overloaded with info for the next build. I'd really appreciate everyone's help with spending my money. :) I'm trying to decide on a motherboard right now...

Anyone have any suggestions on how to get an (approx) 1/16" wide cut through aluminum? Every jigsaw blade I've seen is below 1/32" and Dremmel disks are even thinner than that. Circular saw blades are pretty close but I've never heard of using a circular saw on a case sidepanel. If it...

Just wondering what everyone's take is on this.

Just wondering what everyone's take is on this.

Wasn't sure is this was a post for the > Motherboards forum or if it belonged here so "I'm sorry" in advance if it's mis-posted: Are there any special considerations to make if I'm planning on reversing my ATX connector to have it plug into the back of the MoBo? I'm planning on cutting off...

Just found something I think would be a really cool way to have a fan mounted on a side panel which would allow the panel to be removed without reaching inside to disconnect the fan... problem is that I can't figure out a way to connect it. What do you guys think, ever seen something like...
