[QUOTE="knutinh, post: 54237, member: 14776"] I respect your opinion. I also said that energy consumption and noise are linked, but there is no 1:1 relation. Having built a few computers my self, relying heavily on [url]www.silentpcreview.com[/url], I am aware of a few solutions to hot components. Everything has its pros and cons. As my country needs electric heating most of the year, energy consumption in it self is not an issue (a 300W computer means that I can turn down the heat by 300 Watts). It also looks like this case has external ribs, so you are wrong in saying that "used wattage ends up as heat in the case no matter how you look at it". If a good, noise-less/low-noise solution exists to transport heat out of the cage, such as heatpipes or large ribs/slow large fans, then no problem by me. I have, and I agree on all your points. The FBI warnings and macromedia protection on DVD also bugs me, but I have ways to deal with that. With Blueray, worst case, movies will be available as ripped BR-ROM movies (with full quality, but less copyright protection), and the BR player will be fully usable. Everyone is doing their best to make legal simple use of media as hard as possible. My point is that there is a milion nerds out there, dying to get credits for "hacking" Blueray. No copyright/usage-prevention system can withstand that :-) -k [/QUOTE]
