Re: [H] PC Picture Links

Ok, I'll contact everyone who emailed me, if they've been bumped from the list (JRS, Veech, etc.) then we'll need to re-ad them.

Still need to put three more burners in it and a media reader, but it's coming along nice ;) (figured I'd throw out more then just a test test)
Re: [H] PC Picture Links
Not sure ;) I'll message Jim, I think he's running the server at a colo or somewhere. I spoke to him a while back and I think he was telling me it was several revisions back on Linux. Yeah, I really like those kind of builds; I've got about four of them going at the moment. Everyone keeps talking to me about Watercooling, and we've done some of that, but man.. talk about a hastle. The tuniq may be the best thing I've seen for cooling.. it does a better job then most of the water cooling systems we've tried (Thermaltake Tribe / Zalman 1 / 2 / Gigabyte) and outside of a custom danger den kit, it's the best solution I've seen. And it's a hell of a lot less hassle and risk. And so quiet. I should take some pictures of the AMD 4X4 box we've got up.. FX72*2 on a board. That's a strange solution.. here's one thing to be said about it: XP Performance on it SUCKS but Vista-64 performance with enough memory is pretty impressive.

Yeah its an armor. We've been doing most lately in them. It is roomy and easy to work with. I like the psu mount a lot We just sent out one in a silverstone tj09. Great case.

Re: [H] PC Picture Links
CW, Who makes the cpu hs/cooler? Nice heatpipe design, but I'd be happier if it also had some bracket from the top of the stack to the case cross-piece above the monster. Looks like a big torquey weight to expect the cpu socket to support. Yes, it does look like it is very quiet.

Re: [H] PC Picture Links
The armor fully weighted (2 drives, 2 opticals, board, 2 GTX, etc.) is 66lbs. So, heavy so & so. It's not really that much of a dust magnet. We sent one to NY a while back that was a dead silent 8800GTX build; water cooled CPU; water cooled SLI-8800GTX. Bad thing about it: had to be Vista 64, and right now, Nvidia's driver support for Vista, and especially Vista 64 SUCKS. Absolutely SUCKS. It's just one of those things.. in XP, he gets full SLI. In Vista 64, Vista only sees 1 card, and he gets way slower performance. The 680i chipset, for all of it's pros, has some issues still. Asus came out with the P5N32-E Plus, which is a hybrid chipset, the 650 northbridge and the AMD 590 southbridge.. so you get full x32 SLI, but it's so much more stable under Vista 64 that it's sickening. Nothing wrong under Vista 32 or XP with the 680i, but under Vista 64, the P5N32-E just slices and dices everything out there. I'm going to try to take a lot of pictures today and post links, get this list back on hardware. I checked the benches for what's being built and at least I can get some good pics of an AMD Quad system, and a few other oddballs I can get some pictures of to post and get some hardware discussion going :) FYI- I am piling up in the backchannel and have now heard from 12 people who say they can't post and keep getting bumped.

RE: [H] PC Picture Links
The way that fan mounts down is actually really solid. It's a four point bolt mount to the motherboard. And the fan itself is incredibly light. Using the bump pads on the top, it braces against the outer case door, so it's not going anywhere. Shipped seven, and I've had less problems with that fan then almost anything else ;) -Original message- From: DHSinclair [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2007 17:48:21 -0600 To: The Hardware List hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: RE: [H] PC Picture Links > Nice answer, but what about the HS/Cooler? > RU NOT getting my noise? > Best, > Duncan > At 17:03 02/19/2007 -0500, you wrote: > > >High demand on that case, actually.. we mostly build to order, so whatever > >the customer wants, it's what they get. > > > >The Thermaltake Armor & Kandalf are the most popular cases we stock at the > >moment. *shrug* lots of expandability.

Re: [H] PC Picture Links
That case, which is the Quad one, normally goes like, $170 or so. -Original message- From: "Raul Limos" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2007 17:31:22 -0600 To: "The Hardware List" hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] PC Picture Links > On 2/20/07, CW <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > The Thermaltake Armor & Kandalf are the most popular cases we stock at the > > moment. *shrug* lots of expandability.

The Case is Lian Li PC-V1000B PLUS II Black Aluminum Mid-Tower Case with Window Modified by Performance PC's and I. The next case I am looking at is the Silverstone TJ09.

RE: [H] PC Picture Links
Looks like a mini version of my PC-V2000B. Love the case--just wish it held even more drives. :) Greg > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hardware- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tim "The Beave" Lider > Sent: Monday, February 19, 2007 9:02 PM > To: 'The Hardware List' > Subject: RE: [H] PC Picture Links > > The Case is Lian Li PC-V1000B PLUS II Black Aluminum Mid-Tower Case with > Window Modified by Performance PC's and I.

RE: [H] PC Picture Links
OK. Nice info. Now, who is the maker/vendor for this beast? Best, Duncan At 18:50 02/19/2007 -0500, CW wrote: The way that fan mounts down is actually really solid. It's a four point bolt mount to the motherboard. And the fan itself is incredibly light. Using the bump pads on the top, it braces against the outer case door, so it's not going anywhere. Shipped seven, and I've had less problems with that fan then almost anything else ;) snip This email scanned for Viruses and Spam by ZCloud.net
RE: [H] PC Picture Links
I got the case from Performance-PC.com. They modify cases for you so you do not have to do it yourself. I had my case fitted with a new power button and Blue neon sleeving, also a Blow Hole on top as well. Gaming computer is being cleaned right now. As the dust gets cleared I'll take photos.
