The two at the front are but it doesn't matter because they were on a removable fan bracket and already have a mesh+filter in front of them. The rear one will probably be left open. But I'm gonna add new grills to the top and left panels. It probably won't make any difference coz its pretty...

Thanks for the replies guys. I think I'm gonna go with the Arctic F12, it meets 2 of my needs - white impeller, arms at the intake. I'll just use an adapter to mount it to my current 140mm holes. Tried that already with a spare crappy case fan I had. Ended up throwing it away because I broke...

I cut out all the honeycomb fan grills on the case (2 at front, 1 each at side, rear and top) because I really dislike them. Completely took apart the case to paint it black (including interior). Finished painting the right panel first and that's when I thought I could do with a window on the...

Oh cheers! :D I think I'll probably just get some stick-on tinting from the local auto parts shop. Cutting more stuff will be more work to do, as I don't really have many tools; got a dremel for now, but I need to get my hands on a jigsaw because nothing I cut with a dremel ends up straight!

Hi guys, I'm thinking about adding a window to the left panel of my Antec 300. But I'm not too fond of just a plain rectangular window; I want some extra stuff within the window so it doesn't look empty. Here's a quick draft I made: Black area - panel White & green area - clear acrylic, but...

The specs on Arctic Cooling website says its a case fan. From what I've read, it looks like it doesn't need screws; rubber mounts are already attached to the fan frame. And Vortez described this as the "rear of the F12 Pro": Thanks for the image btw, which fan is that?

Right, I know I asked about 140mm fans, but would this 120mm Arctic F12 Pro work? By looking at the blade shape, I assume the 4 arms are in front of the intake. Which would mean if I mount one of these inside at the top, I can use it as an exhaust...

Ah cool. No problem, guys. Thanks for the replies!

Hi guys, I need your help finding a 140mm case fan. I'm using an Antec 300 which has a 140mm top exhaust, but I cut out the honeycomb type grill on the case because I didn't like it and replaced it with a standard cheap round grill from eBay, like in the image below. But now the whole things...

Yeah I've been monitoring my IP address for some time now, and it has never changed. Which means I haven't had to use any dynamic dns services. And yes, I am using the default firmware on my router, and even though there is a section for VPN, there is no mention of servers. Have a look at the...

Thanks for confirming this Vampiric Rouge. Would it be possible to give me further information on setting up a VPN? As I said, I don't have a clue about it! And thanks for answering donadoni's post for me! :)

Hi guys, I recently got a NAS enclosure and added a 1TB hdd to it, to make my files accessible for 2 other computers in my home network. The NAS has inbuilt SMB, FTP, BT, and Media Server, and also an administration page to manage all these settings. Everything is working fine in the local...

Awesome! :)

Thanks for the reply, PunterCam, I think I got what you meant! Have a look at this Trust SC-550p soundcard: If I get 3x(3.5mm to 2xRCA), I can plug my speaker system in to the front, rear and sub/cen connectors? Thats is what you meant, right? Thanks again! :)

Hi guys, I have a Bush sound system but the input is RCA, as shown in the image below: At the moment, I have a 3.5mm Y-splitter, which is plugged into the pc, and 2x(3.5mm socket to 2xRCA socket) cables plugged into the Y-splitter, giving me 4 RCA sockets which is then connected to...

Well I guess that means upgrading is pretty much pointless! Thanks for the info, I'll keep such things in mind if/when I get my next board! And thanks for the comments everyone, you've all been very helpfull! :)

Thanks for the reply, StrangleHold! Ok, so how would I know if my board (GA-MA770-UD3) has ACC? Even if the board does, I won't be able to unlock the 550 to a quad, would I, as the board has SB700? Thanks again for the comments everyone! :)

Well .. I've seen screenshots of a couple of others (Intels) at around 3GHz and most of them were between 18-25s!!

Thanks for the replies guys! I had a feeling cache would be a pretty big factor! Yeah I read about unlocking it to quad core somewhere, but wasn't sure if it was possible for this. After taking a look at CPU Z though, my board (Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3) has SB700 so I guess unlocking is not...

Here's mine: 27 seconds on an Athlon II X2 250 @ 3GHz (stock settings - I know, its rubbish!!)
