The internet "easy to understand mode" CATS! just look at the little thing!

I was looking at the Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 5870 and was wondering if it was actually worth buying for a Asus HD 5870 V2. Or better yet, anyone got a link for a review? Didn't see one on this site....ofc i'm almost blind.

I’ve got a question on these mats: are they essentially all the same? Prices can very quite a lot on these things and it would be pointless for me to get the expensive stuff if the cheap one is just as good. Choice isn’t too bad:one or two products from be quiet!, a couple from Lian Li and a...

This is my first case build so it's nothing fancy… First off I would like to point out that apart from the component’s inside the case, everything will be made out of wood. At this point in time it will be loaded with some scrap hardware I have laying around. The dimensions are for this...

I was wondering if there were any dead silent 180/200 mm fans around? For now I've only seen some Antec fans which could work Are there any around or should i slap any old 200 mm with a fan controller and lower the RPM? I know there are +250mm fans which have a very good but that's jut too...
