Aluminum is fairly efficient for heat transfer and thermal conductivity, but not important in terms of case-material unless you're implementing some sort of integrated, heat pipe technology; i.e., the Zalman fanless case. Copper rules in this application.
If you were making millions of dollars a month...would it change you? Would you waste money? would you pursue your dreams?... I will tell you...to keep me busy and from spending money, I would take up the hobby of building the most awesome computers imaginable and this would be the case I would use in my first project! Did you watch the video? They must have used an entire tube of thermal compound... Michael B.
Well folks...ha ha I phoned to order the OEM version of XP for 64 bit... They said they are having problems with it at Cyberpower and many people are phoning in with software problems. They cannot run all software with this operating system.... That was honest from Cyberpower and I promptly canceled my order...Someday I will get a system from them. They have already charged my credit card and will refund it without a fee. Since this was being built for me and scheduled, I fell fortunate not to have a charge. Michael B.
Suggest you skip XP 64 bit. It's not ready for prime time. Just get regular old XP Pro, OEM, 32 bit. CALL 'EM BACK and reorder... I'm gettin' thirsty.
What a great thread! http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&oc=D670F4&s=dhs
All that Cyberpower sells is 64 bit...but if the "Windows XP 64 bit Operating system" does not allow all software to run....what good is 64 bit? single dual or quad core.....????????? Michael B.
