I thought I saw one... and that looked like a good solution.

But I'll be damned if I can find it again!


much props to anyone who knows the answer!

Yah it would...

But there are plenty of dual 80mm fan (noisy?) cases. I am kinda sure I saw one wiht two big fan holes on the back...

    Looks stunning!

    May I ask why you want 2 x 120? My LC17 (http://www.silverstonetek.com/de/products-lc17.htm) comes with 2 x 80, reducing them to 5V makes them less loud than my passive cooled VGA card :)

    Just asking cos u might like a case with 2 x 80 and are scared of the noise level they might produce since there is a solution to this.

    Regards, Muldini

    indeed Spragleknas is right

    the nsk 2400 difference with the fusion case is that fusion has a vfd and 420 psu while on the other hand the nsk has no vfd and a 380psu

    both cases imo are one of the best value for money cases out there, only sideback its both are matx if thats a concern for you

    nsk is around 80-90 usd and antec fusion around 180usd

    The Fusion also have real aluminium front - whilst the NSK2400 has a (good) imitation. The VFD takes up a 5.25"-space.

    Damn, those are some nice looking cases.

    To be honest I want a bit more room (ie more drives) than the fusion allows, and a VFD is a must.

    4 drives would be about right, but comparing the silverstone cases... LC16m is slightly smaller than the LC14m, and holds more drives?!

    So... they're really that quiet?

    Nice.


    What are you guys using to control fan speed then to make things quieter?

    Some PWM controlled thingo that is part of the bios?

    speedfan? How can you be sure speedfan will work on a given mobo?

    Run them undervolted. Or if you want to spend money, get a fanspeedcontrol :)

    Hello!!! I use a handy app called catchin' sync to roughly check the AV sync of audio/video on my HTPC/TV. It's not as accurate as a dedicated opto-electronic calibrator but it's more than adequate for this application and much better than trying to do things by eye (even when the lack of sync is massively obvious, subjective...

    MP1 MP2 MP2 DLNA status? DE
    What I meant is that we have a MP2 plugin called UPnP Render that can play media from DLNA servers if I remember correctly. I don't know the current state of the plugin though. That's why MP2 probably never will be certified. ;) Yes, that was also the idea, but it is a big job as all TV's, software etc. seems to not do everything...

    I found the same anyone starting out can very easily get lost in the plugin then patch then ask for help which can be a while coming round about as the are sometimes a few patches that apply to a specific problem and sometimes need to be applied in a specific order for the fix to be successful. Do this for all the plugins you would...

    Actually, the 2250 is for Clear-QAM capture and one set-top box. (DirecTV receiver) The Colossus 2 is for my cable STB until I can figure out which streaming services give me the programs I want to watch. Once that's done, then the Colossus will do VCR capture and the 2250 will do LaserDisc capture - until I get my entire video...
