Cooling ain't an issue for me as this is Canada after all and I've ran the HDT all winter with the window open...outside it was anywhere from -20 to -35'C.


Water is the way forward for LL cases......everything is rubber mounted so the noise from your case is minimal with a loop in there.

I feel the same as acid,i have had lots of cheap ass pressed steel cases with cack plastic fronts on.Then i got the li li v1000 and the differance in quality is a country mile.Li li's dont even come in a fancy box,coz they dont nned to put flashy looking pics all over it,the cases speak for themselves.

That silverstone case is very nice,but you certainly gets what you pay for with certain cases.

My fave two cases are-
Silverstone TJ07
Mountain mods UFO2
But both are too expensive for me,i think i payed about £120 for the v1000 when it was new.

Kyle,just find something you like,and dont fret if you have to pay a little more than you intended.You just gotta make sure you dont buy a case and then sit there wishing you'd bought a differant one.

My point exactly

Yeah, I understand tigger, but put it this way - I earn £45 a week. That not much when you factor in that I have to pay for transport per day - so lets say £5 there and back. Thats £20 a week gone straight away. Ill be getting a ped soon so that will bring the price down - 100mpg on that thing, so id say £10 a week petrol. Either way, I have to save quite a bit to afford these nice things - my rig has received no funding from anyone else as it stands in my stats, so I have to make sure each thing I buy is spot on prior to purchase, so I end up doing days of research haha.

Lian Li's have excellent build quality, but are quite expensive. Obviously you pay for what you get, but Id like to make 100% sure I want "x" case before I buy it.

Also, do the PC60FW or the PC-7FW have a removable HDD cage? I cant tell from the pictures

 

[aCid888*]

No they dont.

They do however have removable HDD bays....dont need screws to hold the HDD in and its rubber mounted.

This is the "cage":

And here is what the HDD mounts in:

 

[MoonPig]

Well, it's for sale. C'mon Kyle.

 

[kyle2020]

Pfft, no chance moon

You know the 60FW and the 7FW, the only difference is the front fan guard design right? Ive looked at must be 20+ reviews and cant see a single difference besides the front?

 

[ldarthard]

I can do 382x10.5

How about if I didn't want to OC ? At it's base settings, which is better, IYHO ?
I know the clock speeds are different, I just wanna have a feel which is better, say for
Video Editting (Adobe Premire, Vegas) , opposed to Music Remixing (ACID, Fruity Loops)?
Are the Core 2 Duo's better than The Dual Cores, at base settings ?

 

[alexp999]

What exactly is your Q Idarthard

Core 2 Duo are dual core processors, however, a quad core is much better suited to video editting and music remixing, etc.

 

[crazy pyro]

I think he's asking for a pentium D Vs Core 2 Duo comparison.

 

[alexp999]

Pentium D is dual threaded not dual cored, i thought.

EDIT:

No wait I stand corrected. No wonder they were such hot beasts!

Hello p45'ers where can I get p5q deluxe drivers for win7 ? or do I use x64 vista drivers

 

[Ketxxx]

Vista drivers should work. Asus did have W7 drivers up on their site.

Sadly there gone now

 

[Ketxxx]

Odd.. I can't even find them on the FTP.

 

[DrPepper]

The reason I'm using win7 is because the audio drivers for vista and xp are buggy with me

 

[Ketxxx]

Buggy how?

My links to the Win 7 drivers still work in my second post

[DrPepper]

Buggy how?

When I unplug my speaker which is in the green jack the audio doesn't work at all. I thought they changed the driver but they haven't so I'm trying it on win7. Also when I plug anything in the front port it isn't recognised properly.

 

[alexp999]

Port detection works as it should with those win 7 drivers. It did for me at least.

Here a new P45 Owner Club with asus p5q cool Club!! Had read some pages and cool info here, thanks!

Erm.. I'm not surprised your audio doesn't work at all when you unplug it from the green jack

 

[DrPepper]

Well I meant to say when you plug it back in. I need to reinstall the driver when I plug it back in. I was going to change that post but I'l leave it for you guys to lol at.
