Can Someone Answer These 2 Questions About A Pc?

Can Someone Answer These PC Questions?

1.What is a P/S (not playstation)
2.Is this case (https://www.casedepot.com/proddetail.asp?linenumber=493#) good for this motherboard (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=590089&Sku=A455-1028&CatId=182)?

I may think of more questions to ask lata

[Virtualbody1234]

1. -> P/S is for Power Supply

2. -> The case specs:
Motherboard Clearance : 11"
The motherboard specs:
Length: 12 in. (30.5cm)

So the motherboard is 1 inch bigger than the case clearance. So I don't know about that.

P/S=PSU= power supply.

Edit: I thought I saw ATX form factor compatable...wrong. I am old and senile...
"Electric door"?
What's that all about?

The case is up to you...it will accept your motherboard.

I dont know but it sounds pretty cool B)

[clocker]

Sorry, but VB is correct. Your board apparently will NOT fit.
Upon a second look it appears that you are paying quite a bit for that electric door feature as fans and temp probes are all extra...

Do u guyz know of a reliable computer case site?

[clocker]

I really don't.

I much prefer to buy in person.

[bigdawgfoxx]

You going with my setup? B) haha dang! i love this red mad face on here! pimppp

[silent h3ro]

What about this case (http://www.xoxide.com/bluexdreamer.html)?

[bigdawgfoxx]

Yeah it will fit. You going with the stuff i showed you? the 5700 Ultra, and the ram?

Hell Ya

[bigdawgfoxx]

B) tight...oh and i didnt give you ram...you already got it..sorry. Yeah that 5700 IMPRESSES me a LOT! I had no clue it ran that fast...I like that card ;) You will have a very good gaming PC that will last. If you like that last case...it should fit just fine!

[clocker]

Any case that is ATX form factor will work.

I like the fact that it comes with a blowhole roof fan and the option of using a 120mm fan in the back.
IMO, the fan in the side window is useless and just there for decoration.

You'll never use all the extra 3.5" expansion bays but they are configured properly to maybe set up an effective airbox/ manifold for the fans on the front cover.

Get some other opinions, I am a crank/extremist when it comes to case design/layout.

[silent h3ro]

Thanx for everyones info, but I have one more question, what cooling fans will I need?

[clocker]

The ones that will keep your components cool and happy.










Seriously.

Who knows?
You will have to play around and see what works for you.
Trust me, I have done a lot of experimenting, and there is no hard and fast rule.
Just to get you started, I would use a 120mm fan running at 5v on the rear of the case and the same on the front (if you can). Ignore that lighty-uppy joke on the side panel and maybe even the fan in the roof ( that will depend alot on how they made the grill for it- if it's wide open then good, leave it in place).
What heatsink you are using will make all the difference when it comes to what you need/ how effective your cooling is.

[bigdawgfoxx]

Yeah get a big 120mm fan in the back pullling air out (called an exhaust fan). Also having one in front bottom to push air in is good. I believe thats the best setup. Theres on that includes 3 fans but its a bit more confusing. You already have a heatsink and fan for your Pentium 4 right?

Hopefully I do. I opened my computer case a couple times but never looked a that.

[bigdawgfoxx]

"Believe" being the operative word here.

Not to blow my own horn here ( oh, WTF, why not?), but if you search back a few pages, I have written several topics regarding case cooling. Pictures are included for those with short attention spans. I spent the time and effort specifically to help out those in your situation.
Please avail yourself of the resources to be found around here.

[bigdawgfoxx]

Yeah he did some real cool stuff and found some good cooling sheems...if you find them POST and bring it back to the front..I would like to save the pictures! I have also seen diagrams on websites but im not sure where those are nemore. Good luck, and thanx clocker for all your work :)

Depends on what you've got now.

Try it - if it doesn't work the answer is no.

Well, you can hardly go wrong with that answer can you?

actually, i tried this once.

to make sure windowz never BSoDs you on logon, it verifies ALL hardware on every logon. if the mobo and processor and cd drive and graphics card (optional) changed, it will not boot

so, short and simple,

NO

if it does then your copy is a freak of hell
