Loving the single pass 120 on the back. Any chance you can mount that thing in the front bottom intake under the HDD cages without mauling the bracketry too much? It doesn't look like it - maybe if you used a rad based on 80mm fans? By the way - have you used many UV additives? I'm...

I haven't kept up with the latest draft N hardware, but the last roundup I read indicated that not only did draft N not offer any significant speed improvement, but it also had a tendency to interfere with non-N networks. I'm sticking with my linksys until N is no longer a draft.

Or just buy something from EVGA.

Of course the average joe will need this eventually. No one can tell you when though, because average joe makes his own decisions. What I can tell you is that you can get an X2 for $69 these days - and many average joes still don't use all that power. When average joe starts buying...

Mmmmmm.....Macros....... Also, it appears that the Habu uses a laser engine, whereas the DeathAdder uses an IR LED. I have to say, optional thumb-button plates are a very good idea. If this thing comes out in red, I may have to consider it. Hell, if I like it in the store, a LED swap...

In case you're looking for something a little smaller and more computer-monitor-y, HP has a nice 30" panel that is nearly identical to Dell's, except that it comes with multiple inputs and a switch to change between them.

Well, the Q6600 is getting down there. They're even lower over here. Initially I was of the majority opinion that 4 cores are a complete waste at this point in time - and to a large extent I think they still are. For the vast majority of people, the point at which 4 cores will make a...

What are your plans for fill/bleed/drain, Matt? That res location could make things a little interesting.

The message wasn't just about rated power, but also about doing a little research to find a quality unit. Quality isn't something TT is known for. If you want to stay away from C2D, I have no idea what to recommend. Your current board is probably fine.

That answers that, then. Teeth on the flange is an important thing to mention. I suggest noting it above. I agree that the aluminum is secure, however, being fond of overkill, I'll point out that there are toothed washers available. Agreed. Fond of overkill.

Please don't try to run two 8800GTXs off a 250W Thermaltake PSU. Just get yourself a nice high quality main PSU *cough* jonnyguru.com *cough* and save yourself some hassle. Also, I read that the 680i had some issues as well, but that was close to 3 months ago, and all I've read lately has...

It looks great, but I would make a couple suggestions. Are you using anything other than the edges of those tightened screws to attach the aluminum to the rad? I would suggest screwing through the aluminum so that there is no chance for the rad and aluminum to separate. This will block some...

Uh, I could be wrong here, but last time I checked (which was a while ago) iTunes let you burn CDs in .wav format, with all the MP3/FLAC options you desire. I've read that it's common practice among some people to burn CDRWs of iTunes music so that they could rip the songs to MP3. Rinse and...

2 independent loops ftw. I like how you routed everything with so little tubing - very nice. May I ask if the reservoir is serving a purpose (like checking water temp)? A T-fitting between the CPU block return and the pump inlet would give you a second fillport near the top of the case...

Just to clarify - you want the whole shebang, not just a probe?

Assuming that you're asking about the X-fi, it does have great DACs, and would probably make a huge difference in games IF you have 5.1 headphones. If you're using stereo headphones and want to improve the way games sound, I would have to suggest that you spend money on 5.1 headphones before...

I've never used Linux, but here are a few thoughts. Assuming that you're sure the OS install completed correctly, you may have to change the boot order in the BIOS so that you boot from the correct HDD first. Also, you specifically say Master Hard Drive - are you using two? If you've got more...

X-Fi's are getting cheaper for those of you who're interested. Newegg Link courtesy of AT Forums.

I'd like to see games incorporate multiple sensitivity settings for foot/vehicle/scope. This would save players the hassle of manually adjusting the resolution while being shot at and it would also allow the highest resolutions to be used in all cases.

@Jack: 'Delay' is not a word that I would use when describing the Triple Threat Button. It's meant to be used when you need to click as fast as you can, so '3 really fast clicks' is exactly what I'd call it. I find it somewhat useful with pistols in games like CS and FEAR, but I personally...
