I'm using 1/8" for the window and blow hole. If I was building a case out of plexi, I would use 1/4". 1/8" is not as sturdy and I don't think would make a good case. But, I've never built a plexi...

When I was in the Air Force, I used to have to clean parts used in triple-ejector racks to release bombs. The chemicals that I was using ended up giving me cirriasis (I know I hacked up...

If you are looking for a local place to buy some plexi, you can go to home depot. I bought 1/8" plexi about 2'x2' for around $6-8. They had a tool that you can use to score the plexi and then break...

nil8,
It's sandscrit, literal translation is "Bruk" which means the mythical winged dragon.

I have a few tattoos. I also have 2 piercings in each ear, and i used to have my tongue pierced.

Now this is what I call a flat screen. I'd like to get one of these in like a 19"....Slim cpu with this attached to the side....hmmm....

Any time you remove your heatsink from the cpu you should clean both sides and put on new thermal compound. I seriously think this is where your problem is. You can use alcohol to clean the two,...

Congradulations!

How big is your power supply? Since you have the same problem when you plug an external in or if you plug in your second harddrive, it might be trying to draw too much power. It sounds like it's...

Me? First upgrade, new monitor. I'd like to have a flat screet lcd since they are smaller and lighter. RIght now I have a 19" CRT.
Other than that, I'm really wanting to build a nice gaming...

Yeah I had some really bad luck with Maxtor also. But, that was about 10 years ago, and I have heard that they have improved their quality greatly. When I used to repair DVR's the company I worked...

oh, another thing that might be making noise is to check if the mounting screws are tight enough. Maybe the case and psu are vibrating against each other

I agree with Maleficus. You could also try blowing the dust from inside your psu with some canned air.

You can find foam at a fabrics and crafts store. I was at one with my wife last week (scrapbooking stuff sale) and saw they had a ton in different shapes and sizes.

Yeah you are going to have to buy a RAID controller card. Here's one for pretty cheap.
What type of RAID array were you planning on going with anyways?

If you do make this thing really big, maybe have the canopy open up and have the drive bays in there? Engine intakes could be intake fans. One thing you might do to get some more ideas on what you...

I agree with XcOM.
I would first have nothing plugged into the mobo and try to boot up, it should still go through POST. It will fail because no harddrives are connected. then I would connect one...

Yeah 40 is stretching it. That's pretty close to what I used to get though. I didn't really dip into the throttle too much, since my bike was painted bright colors, and the vance & hines exhaust...

Typically you can get around 40mpg on a 600cc sportbike. Less if you are driving aggressively. On one tank of gas, it's less than 200 miles. My roundtrip to work is around 100 miles, so I basically...

I used to have a motorcycle. It was a 1994 Yamaha YZF600 Vance & Hines Edition, so it was pretty fast, and pretty colorful, since it was a mustardy-yellow and purple. I had a lot of fun with it,...

Me, I'm not into ribeyes too much. My favorite cut is either a porterhouse. I like having the larger tenderloin but I still like the strip steak. When I cook them on the grill, it's 8 minutes per...

Oh yeah, I forgot. The carcinogens are caused by the fat dripping into the fire and burning. If you cook with charcoal with indirect heat, you don't have to worry about it.

I don't know much about the physics of airflow, but I think the flow show be as even as possible. Why you say? I think the air will flow through the case easier, and if there is too much...

I prefer charcoal. I like the flavor of the smoke, and the smell of the smoke while it's cooking. Grilling out always makes me feel like I'm camping.

As far as the carcinogens in my meat...
