Originally I had chosen this Lian Li case, then made the last minute change just incase our testing didn't pass, I also spoke with the main FAE at ASUS about it to verify that our findings were indeed in order. Once it passed our tests I went ahead and switched back to the Lian Li case before publishing. It's most def my favorite chassis.<BR/><BR/>Keep in mind that even though the chipset is fanless, both the chipsets are connected via a heatpipe leading to the mosfets which has a small quiet fan that you clip on to keep things cool. It makes all the difference, and the fact that this heatpipe is very good quality it's able to be inverted with no big issues.Rahul Soodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04044495881654002289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17375431.post-1131831633313032222005-11-12T14:40:00.000-07:002005-11-12T14:40:00.000-07:00I thought heat pipes (as in on that Motherboard you chose) don't work upside-down (as in the Lian-Li 1100B)?<BR/><BR/><BR/>What gives?Dozernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17375431.post-1131749918883380782005-11-11T15:58:00.000-07:002005-11-11T15:58:00.000-07:00Well, ultimate would be to buy a prebuilt machine. I think this article was written to help those who can't afford prebuilt, the next best version of "ultimate" perhaps?Shadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17375431.post-1131740146143450992005-11-11T13:15:00.000-07:002005-11-11T13:15:00.000-07:00If it is made easiy does that make it the ultimate? Wouldn't the ultimate be very hard to put together?<BR/><BR/>Just wondering.See Indiana Tornado Pictureshttp://www.scripturist.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17375431.post-1131738739567448692005-11-11T12:52:00.000-07:002005-11-11T12:52:00.000-07:00That is a great PC. Now only if I wasn't in college and had 5 grand to blow. Also it was a great article. I agree with you on every component. I was also unaware that creative picked it up so much in the speaker side of things. I could write forever but you made me late for class. No hard feelings though, the class sucks anyway.Parkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11740140690321460499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17375431.post-1131737168161143952005-11-11T12:26:00.000-07:002005-11-11T12:26:00.000-07:00Nope, we had to make it easy for people to build :)Rahul Soodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04044495881654002289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17375431.post-1131737069828021112005-11-11T12:24:00.000-07:002005-11-11T12:24:00.000-07:00No liquid cooling?
