Unique Hardware Guide #3 - Drive Bay Mod
Quote:
""Have you ever wanted to get additional air flow into your case, but where you actually need it? Well here's one way. Look at your drive bay covers; all cases have them and if you are like me, you have at least one spare you can play with. Now this is not what I would call a regular drill-some-holes
mod..."

SilverStone Transfer panel & I/O module review @ ModdersHQ.net
Quote:
It’s no mystery that cases today are available in literally all shapes, sizes and colors. Makes it hard to believe that beige was the king (and only choice) only a few years back. To be honest, the finished look of a brushed aluminum case is still my personal favorite. Plus it’s a lot easier to find matching bay accessories for them. Only problem is, finding something that carries the same level of quality and none of the gaudy flash. With that in mind, lets take a look at two products from SilverStone…The SST-FP51 5.25” Transfer Bracket & SST-FP31 3.5” Front I/O Module.

TD Review: Evercool's Fan Speed Control Panel
Quote:
When it comes to cooling, one fan just doesnÂ’t seem to be enough at times. The processor is a workhorse, but when it gets too hot, its efficiency drops way down (or drops completely). To supplement cooling the processor, people and manufacturers install case fans, which help bring in cooler air and expel the hotter air. This movement of air not only benefits the processor, but also other components in the case.

Thermaltake Hardcano 12 Fan Controller Review @ ExtensionTech.net
Quote:
Fan controllers have been around for years, and have developed from the simple fanbus to more complex rheobuses. The rheobus design has hit a wall in recent months, with manufacturers only coming out with different color and light schemes, but virtually the same base unit. CrazyPC has provided us with a Thermaltake Hardcano 12 multi-function fan controller, which is basically a rheobus on steroids. The Hardcano 12 has a combination of fan controllers and temperature sensors, along with a backlit LCD screen and programming that automatically controls your fans from four different sensors throughout your case. Will this combination of technology mesh together to form the 'perfect' fan controller, or will the Hardcano 12 be remembered as just 'another overpriced gadget'? Read on to find out.
