I think we all need some clarification.

Quote:
Dear Duct Tape Users:

Is it Duct or Duck? We don’t want you to be confused, so we will explain. The first name for Duct Tape was DUCK. During World War II the U.S. Military needed a waterproof tape to keep the moisture out of ammunition cases. So, they enlisted the Johnson and Johnson Permacel Division to manufacture the tape. Because it was waterproof, everyone referred to it as “duck” tape (like water off a duck’s back). Military personnel discovered that the tape was good for lots more than keeping out water. They used it for Jeep repair, fixing stuff on their guns, strapping equipment to their clothing... the list is endless.

After the War, the housing industry was booming and someone discovered that the tape was great for joining the heating and air conditioning duct work. So, the color was changed from army green to the silvery color we are familiar with today and people started to refer to it as “duct tape*.” Therefore, either name is appropriate.

Today, DuckŪ brand Tape is manufactured by ShurTech. After thoroughly familiarizing ourselves with the hundreds of duct tapes on the market, we have found DuckŪ brand Tape to be the most consistent in quality. And, we are delighted with the large array of colors that they manufacture (including camo tape and new “X-Treme Tape” which comes in hot day-glo colors).

I gotta ask, why are you using a PCI pass-through for your tubing when your case already has provisions for running external tubing?

Starting to add sleeved extensions. Also added UV LED's in preparation for my new water loop.

I actually moved the vertical LED strip up top also so it's hidden from plain view with the side panel on. Not pictured yet:

Are those Typhoon fans on your H70? Because I'm thinking of replacing the default fans of my H70 with the Typhoons. See any huge difference in temps?

They look like Coolermaster Sickleflow fans. I had a pair of 1150 rpm Gentle Typhoons on my h70 a while back, they were dead quiet and the temps were about the same as the loud stock corsair fans.

Well a month back I got a barebones shuttle (came with motherboard, case, PSU, DVD burner, and CPU cooler). All I needed was RAM, HDD, and a CPU, well I had 2x1GB ram from another project but no CPU. I picked up this barebones for 10$.... YES THAT'S RIGHT 10$!! The previous owner said it just stopped booting so he decided to just sell it to get rid of it. I picked up a E4400 from BOT and installed everything yesterday to test. I figured I had a 50/50 shot of it may still working and BAM! it worked like a champ! It booted first time and i installed windows XP. This is my first ITX setup and its very tiny! when I get home today i will post inside pictures.

Its a neat setup but the only issue is that if the board ever does go out then i would have to modify it to use another ITX board since shuttle designs their own boards.

It supports 45NM cpu's up to quad core extreme and has a full page of OCing settings. I will probably lower the settings so it saves as much energy as possible. I also have a 320GB laptop HD i will be installing soon. It also has a PCI and PCIex slot for bigger video card but i doubt the small power supply would handle it. If you could keep it cool then a Q9550 with 2x2GB DDR2-1066mhz and a good GPU that the PSU will handle, this would be a nice gamer machine

This will be my HTPC from now on.
