Looks great! Those tube runs are so clean! 

Great looking start! Nice close up photos there and very clean looking case! 

well thats a bruh moment anyway happy that its working now 🙂
 
btw when setting up a pc never use dp always use hedmi first as the gpu drives not being updates cause lots of problems

Hi mate! That's looking really good, love it! I'm guessing you are after the pass-through fitting that foes through the panel. It's from Bitpower and here is a link to one on PerformancePCs, you can look up different colours if you want, I have the red one -  http://www.performance-pcs.com/bitspower-case-top-water-fill-through-hole-fitting-set-carbon-black-finish.html
 
Let me know if you need any more help! If you're worried about hijacking the thread send me a PM
 
Cheers,

Thanks Alex, I am going down the same road as you have done and purchased the D5 enabled reservoir and the in win 909(silver) case and i am going to have the reservoir fill point in the top of the case like you have done also. Could you tell me the name of the part that you used in your pic for the fill point that runs up to the top of the case as this is my first water cooled build and i am getting a lot of ideas from your build.  I wont post any more pics as the last thing i want to do i hijack your thread, so i apologize.

I like everything that going on here. Keep it up! 

How in gods name do you make a 40 minute video about a RESERVOIR?

Hope this is true. Planning on zen for my next upgrade.

Pulled this over on my Nexus5 when they released it and...
+
Volume control is better.
When the new instant google Now will work it will change multitasking.
Flashligt dosnt turn it self off and require reboot to work again.
Camera works better and dosnet crash/require reboot.
Startup time is faster.
New copy/paste is better!
-
Things crash / reboots phone(sometimes).
N7 dosnt work as well anymore. (But you probably dont use that)
New copy/paste dosnt work sometimes.

My daily view.

OnePlus recently started making their Bamboo Style Swap Covers available to purchase directly from the website, so I decided to pick one of those up, as well as the Babyskin White back cover.
 

 
I have had my Sandstone Black back for almost a year now, and it shows it, but it still looks pretty.
 

 
First is the Sandstone Black. The one that came with my phone. It has the most unique texture as you probably have heard. It is like a velvety sandpaper, which feels really nice in the hand, as well as gives a unique look to the phone. It does get dirty easily as you can see, as well as have scratch marks from extended use.
 

 
Next is the Baby Skin White back. I bought this off of ebay for $12. It does give a nice contrast when on the phone, but the feel of it wasn't what I was expecting. I was thinking it was going to have a more rubberized texture, but it feels just like normal plastic. The one I bought does not come with the side buttons, SIM card tray, or the NFC. 
 

 
Last is the Bamboo Style Swap cover. Bought it directly from the OnePlus site for $50 + shipping. It looks very nice, but is a little slippery. Only the back is real bamboo so the sides are plastic that is a beige color to look like wood. 
 
Personally my favorite is still the Sandstone Black, as it gives it a nice feeling while holding it, and looks premium as well. I will continue using the bamboo cover to see if it grows on me though. Personally I don't recommend getting the white one unless you really like the look of it, as it does not feel that good to me. Let me know if you have any questions, or want to see any more pictures. I would of done pictures of the removing process of the back cover, but I don't want to risk breaking any clips doing it multiple times.

They tried at one point.  Wasn't a complete success to say.

Zenbox - A Tiny HTPC Build

First of all, this is a JokuTyypi - Razbit joint operation.
 
All this started last summer: I was looking into buying a Raspberry Pi (because my friend JokuTyyppi had one), but as I searched for alternatives I found a company called Hardkernel that makes single-board-computers, called ODROID. So, I bought a ODROID XU Lite. It has a Samsung Exynos5 Octa-core ARM CPU, running at 1,4GHz. It is equipped with 2GB of RAM and has a full-size USB3, a USB3 OTG and 4 USB2.0 connectors. Networking is done via a 10/100 Ethernet, and video goes through HDMI or DP. For storage I use a Hardkernel's 16GB eMMC module (micro SD slot is provided, the eMMC is just WAY faster). The board is able to run pretty much any Linux distro (it came with Android. Eww..). The board cost about 170$, so it is not *quite* as cheap as the RPi..
 
The XU Lite got fried somehow, now I'm using a Exynos 4412-based U3 board.
 

 
 
This is what the ODROID looks like (I've soldered a power button to it):

 

 
The board is 94x67mm and is approx. 20mm "thick" with the connectors.

Alright, lets see what we're turning this board into: an HTPC. The project begun with drawing the case in Autodesk Inventor.

This is what we came up with:

 



Its black aluminium with mahogany, 126x40x83mm.

Building the case started today by cutting the top and bottom aluminum plates and drilling some holes:

 


Here they are (very much in-progress), accompanied with the piece of mahogany:



Thanks for reading, stay tuned! I hope this build is ready for xmas

Hey everyone.
 
first let me introduce myself my name is Jonas O. Andersen, I live in Denmark and I work as a fiber technician, 
I’m 20 years old and have been reviewing, writing and modding computers and tech for over 5 years.
 
Today I want to give you a review of this product from Aquatuning.
 

 
This is the Phobya NB-eLoop Bionic 120mm fan.
 
Let me first of all give you guys an overview of the fan and it’s specifications.
 
Specifications.
 
Dimensions : 120x120x25mm Weight: 125g Nominal voltage : 12V Start-up voltage : 6 V Power consumption : 1,01W Nominal speed : 1600rpm (+/- 10%) Pressure head : 1,560mmH2O Air flow : 104 m3/h Noise emission: 22,5 dB/A MTBF (25°C) : 140 000 hrs Connector : 3 Pin Molex with RPM signal Warranty: 3 years Packaging.
 

 

 
Well as you can see the box is very nice looking, it has many colors and looks beasty.
It has all the information that you want to know as well. Let us say you see it in a shop,
you do not have to ask or look anything up on the internet it,
is all stated on the box, so there is nothing left unanswered.
The box also has some glossy painting and effects as well as the fan itself have its blades highlighted.
 

 

 
In addition, as you can see on the back of the box, it states everything about the specifications.
Inside the box we find the fan and some screws for mounting.
And now let’s take a look at the fan itself.
 
Closer look
 
Now I will take a closer look at the fan and explain a few things.
 
The fan is very striking when you first see it. The fan itself is obviously red and black and the might make it unfitting for some builds, 
however it would suit a red/black theme perfectly without a doubt. The fan also has some Noise Blocker feature elements to its construction and engineering.
 

 
The bearing in the fan is a NB-NanoSLI 2 magnetic floating bearing, which offers both horizontal and vertical operation without increased the noise,
moreover the antidust technology makes the fan dust protected and a special lubrication with Nano technologygives the fan a for long lifespan.
 

 
The blades are made out a clear transparrent red plastic and have been ribbed on the back edge of them.
They also feature a dust repelling super-smooth surface. Personally I think it catches the light nicely.
but I would suggest that they made a LED version as well for the people out there who wants lit up systems, with their red and black theme.
 

 
The fan itself is build, in a very strong plastic with no flex to it at all.
At the conors of the fan have these small rubber dampeners, with an embossed Noise Blocker logo.
These rubber dampeners help reduce the noise that the fan makes, but something that kind of anoyed me was that they had not taken it 1 step futher
and added noise reduction to the screw area as well it's just bare plastic. It would definityly have been a nice add to the fan.
 
 

 
Last but not least the fan is a 3pin and have a nicely braided cable, that also makes you completely unable to see the color of the cables though the braiding which is AWESOME.
 
 
Performance
 
5v
The noise is none existent and the fan is spinning decently without being kind of lackluster, however the air being pushed though is not huge, but that's to be expected at 5V
7v
The noise here at 7V is nothing different from the 5V but it's spinning fast and pushes more air though the fan, so now it's a decent amount of air being pushed though, so very much the same as 5V however it pushes more air.
12v
This time the fan became noteable, but in my opinion it's to an acceptable amount, considering how much air it now pushes though, the airflow is high and the direction of the air is very focused and nice, very impressive. "Quite the storm"
 
Conclusion
First of all the fan package looks fantastic it's entertaining and very eye catching, and would fit perfectly in a computer store or shopping environment
However the lack of noise reduction mount for the fan is a little disappointing. But the fan itself looks incredible, it's stunning finish on the blades is just amazing. (Kind of wish they would make a LED version)
Also the fans durability and sturdyness is some of the best I've ever seen very very impressive and seems like it would be able to last forever.
It's obvious that this fan have gotten a lot of though on the side of the design and the final product and I most say it's impressive and the performance of the fan is quite impressive, would be recommendable for a watercooling PC.
I'm impressed with the fan and how it performed turned out to surprise me I've seen a lot of "good-looking" fans that just did not perform, but this one did and to a good extend, only thing that nags me is the color sceme,
It would fit perfect in a red and black theme but would look kind of misplaced in other environments.
From what I could find the fan goes for 12.85£ which ain't too bad and ain't too cheap.

Pros
Looks incredible Very good build quality all round Nice packaging Anti-vibration dampeners in the conors Very Silent at 5v and 7v Fan connector is black Cable braiding is good and not seethough Black screws Cons
Lack of LEDs (depending on who you are) No anti-vibration for the mounting That was it for this time hope you all find the review usable and cannot wait to bring more to you guys.
 

Go ahead and buy it if you want. If you are okay with 4:3 then it's a decent/good tablet.
Personally I'll just wait for my dream tablet to be released.

@LinusTech
So I just saw the Lian-Li case review, and based on that and the wan show if I remember right, you seem to be obsessed with your console-killer case idea. 
So I thought you'd like to see this. 
The project thread-
http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1831382
Preliminary specifications:
Model: unnamed Steam Machine-style case by NCASE (referred to internally as the LRPC) Dimensions (HxWxD): 330 x 80 x 334mm (case only; stand adds 20mm to height with a footprint of 120x334mm) Motherboard: Mini-ITX GPU: Dual-slot, ~12" max CPU cooler: 60mm max PSU: SFX Drives: 2x 2.5" Front ports: 2x USB Ncase is a cordfunded case company of sorts. So far they have released one case, and it was quite nice. 


Note the gpu orientation

This needs to become real ASAP.
@LinusTech give them some publicity so they can make this case a reality faster...

Sometimes you won't be able to do this. The logon background will always be the default background unless the OEM logon background setting is set to on in the registry.
This method (in the OP) is great and really simple for those not willing to mess with the registry themselves, but here is a guide for anyone wanting to know how to do this themselves:
