Reading back part of the thread, why are you ordering a separate I/O shield? Last time I checked they are included with the mobo. Not with an Open Box motherboard, There one just gets the motherboard and at a Discount too. :) Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

I'd vote for the Asus board. It, or one of the related P7P55D boards, is one I was considering before I bought the Gigabyte board for my HTPC. An option for your wireless network could be to get a USB wireless adapter, or a wireless bridge. Then the boards slots would be irrelevant. Yeah I know that, I've been reading reviews ever since the P55 was introduced, and I have to wait until 2/1/10 as My check arrives at the Bank on that day. Oh and sales tax in CA ranges from 8.25% to 9.25%, My area uses 8.75% as 0.50% is for Highways within San Bernardino county(Voter approved, twice, Once to start the tax hike and once to continue the tax). What's NJ's like? And the vote is still: DFI: -1 Asus: 4 Asrock: 2 Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

Reading back part of the thread, why are you ordering a separate I/O shield? Last time I checked they are included with the mobo. I assume you know I/O means Input/Output to start :). It's a little plate that is (usually) included with the motherboard to be mounted between the I/O hole in your case and the motherboard. It can be useful in dusty environments and if you are looking for aesthetics (which is nearly always me). Next case I want is the NZXT M59... Boy. I love the looks on that. - Luke. |

Reading back part of the thread, why are you ordering a separate I/O shield? Last time I checked they are included with the mobo. Here's the CM HAF-932 case(a Review is here, More pics too) that I'm putting the P55 motherboard in(I'm not buying one as I already have one), Of course I need some more magnetic dust filters for It, There goes about another $99 of course, As It has lots of HUGE openings to be covered. I'd love to get the HAF-X(Below), But It's not out for sale yet and I don't know the price either, But It does now have FILTERS!!! It's about time CM...

Never bothered to get one as dust isn't a big problem in the Rainy State. As far as it being an RF shield well I guess I would need to put my side covers back on....Just curious so I did a search, the ones I had on the wall never had them either.

Here you go, save some money on your dust filters...LOL The HAF-932 is 22"Hx9"W and the covers there are designed with 8" case sizes in mind, So the Magnetic filters are the only real answer and they are washable too and they don't obstruct the optical drives either.

Here you go, save some money on your dust filters...LOL That wouldn't cover the top or the bottom as there is an intake and exhaust there as the HAF stands for High Air Flow(the exhaust at the top also sucks dust in), So It would be wholly filter I guess. ;) Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

Here you go, save some money on your dust filters...LOL Are you absolutely sure you need some dust protection? Does a can of compressed air not do the job when you need it? - Luke. |

Reading back part of the thread, why are you ordering a separate I/O shield? Last time I checked they are included with the mobo. That's cause You don't live in a Desert with a nearby Dry Lake(It's to the west from here and wouldn't Ya know It, The wind comes from that way a lot), A Cat didn't help much either(There's a noticeable drop in fur deposits recently of course), But in the winter It's not so bad as the windows stay closed a lot and the swamp cooler is covered(But not on the outside, Just the part in the house that fits thru the wall).

Here you go, save some money on your dust filters...LOL Oh You don't want to see My heatsink, Its clogged now, On the outage I'm going to turn the PC off and vacuum the heatsink and remove the fan to get the top and that isn't easy either, Fan Clips I like, Rubber fan mounts are a royal pain up the wazoo. Here's a before and after for the thread. Edit: Oh and as to the canned air, Nice idea, But My income is limited already and in June It might get $15 more limited(damn Governator and Repubs). Here's the psu clean and a bit dirty(mounted too). clean dusty, I know Its hard to see, I should get a pic unmounted before I clean It and I will. Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

Here you go, save some money on your dust filters...LOL Oh and the HAF-932 is from front to rear 21.5" in size and the height would increase by maybe about 1" If I put It on the included wheels, As cases go, It ain't no small case. :D 22"x9"x21.5" No Wheels 23"x9"x21.5" w/Wheels Savoir-Faire is everywhere!

Here you go, save some money on your dust filters...LOL Mediums seem to be ok for a mid tower. Might need to go to large t-shirt for a larger case tho. Dust filter 1, Dust filter 2, Dust filter 3, Dust filter 4 Case is 17Hx8.5Wx20.5D EDIT: Fixed the links to the picks. Instead of them all points to the same image.
