Ever been to a second-hand store? This isn't a new thing.

I mean using that logic, he can always check out ones that are made of metal and have fans on them. WHICH one is what he is after.

I have loads of drives sitting around in the stack, some hanging out unplugged in older machines (except my Pentium ][ where it's needed for games), and a BDRE in my file server I actually use for burning. Aside from making CDs for the car, I...

Phanteks Enthoo 719. Enormous. You'll need to bring your own fans, though.

It couldn't have been Azureth. unless...

May I first suggest a little Rule 34 research (with VPN/private browsing, etc.) if you want to look up this particular fetish. (I'm not speaking from experience, here, just knowledge, studies, other forums of a certain type *cough*, and maybe a...

Technically there was an i752 successor (if only briefly). The 800 series were chipsets (aside from the i860 CPU from the 80s), but the integrated graphics versions theoretically used the 740's successor architecture which had already been...

This is something Azureth would have. I actually need convincing that he's not the person in the article. :whistle:

Scans article for mention of "not his real name"...doesn't find it. Dude, I'm down with everyone having their personal kinks, but I'm not about to tell the whole office (and world) mine, especially when it goes wrong!

Despite the glaring flaw (can't remember what it was, it was so long ago) that required a "might erase your data" firmware update, I still have, use, and love my Vertex 3 MaxIOPS 120 and Agility 3 240s. Jmicron was always hot garbage. OCZ had...

Perfect. Ordering that then, if I go with this case (leaning strongly towards). Wish it had 5.25 bays external (I use a pair of 8x2.5"/1x5.25" bay adapters normally), but that's my only complaint - and there doesn't seem to be a good case...

The cooler is a beast! Right now I'm putting 315W into it and the hottest core is 78C (granted, the ambient temp is somewhat low), and it's not running 100%, either, so the sound is quite tolerable. Even the little VRM fan isn't annoying at all...

They are similar, that's for sure. But the elite has 10 expansion slots, so it could actually be regular ATX+ITX if the ITX cooling is low profile. But either way, for a $700 price difference, no thank you. Yikes.

Nope, that's not accurate either. Some are just doing it that way because they use an mATX and ITX.

Oh damn, you're right - I confused the Enthoo Elite with the 719. The elite puts the second system flat, the 719 is smaller and puts it vertically. Huh. The elite looks like it could take two. Got it - and that sucker is $900. So, ok...

I can't answer on #2, but since I have the case, I can answer #1: you will have a hard time fitting 2 PSUs plus all the other stuff at the same time. Technically, you will need to either mod the case or get creative to fit the second PSU since...

Yes, you can do that, many people do. When you flash it, make sure you use the IT mode firmware and it will turn the card into an HBA.

I've got one on my 10980XE. Fantastic performance and not too noisy, cores range 70s-80s C at 330W, and that isn't even at full speed. My D15 was over 100C with the same load and 100% fans.

It increases R per GB.

A while back I saw a picture of someone else doing a sleeper style build and I just couldn't stop thinking about it. I eventually found this PERFECT Packard Bell case. It's all basically standard formats, mATX mobo, ATX PSU, etc. So the 'build'...
