GX Typhoon w/ Silver Brushed Aluminum Bay insert?

Post by WmMcNett »

Where can I buy a GX Typhoon w/ Silver Brushed Aluminum Bay insert to put in my Lian-Li PC-C32A Case.

Yes, I could have bought a Aluminum HTPC case w/ display for $300 - $700.

I've been searching for 2 days for a Display to put in the bottom 5.25" bay.

I've looked at;
Thermaltake A2331 Media LAB
COOLER MASTER RC-281-OSB1-GP Multi-media Kit
nMEDIAPC MCE VFD Module for nMEDIAPC's HTPC 288BA and SA cases
Silverstone SST-FP54-S Silver Case Front Panel With VFD Display
Lian-Li 3.5" Lintus Media Center - Silver (LM-01-S)
Moneual iMON VFD
SoundGraph iMON VFD
SilverStone Multi-media Display - Silver (MFP51-S)
Thermaltake A2328 / Media Lab VFD Panel / Silver
VLSystem's
L.I.S. MCE V.F.D. Display Unit
M-Play Blast
M-Play 202 Plus R2

My HTPC system so far;
LIAN LI PC-C32A Silver Aluminum ATX Desktop Computer Case
SeaSonic S12 Energy Plus SS-550HT ATX12V / EPS12V 550W Power Supply
ASUS P4P800-E DELUXE Motherboard
INTEL PENTIUM 4 3.4GHZ SL8K4
Thermaltake TR2TT TR2-M12 80mm Ball CPU Cooler
2 X Kingston HyperX 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit (4GB)

I'll have to enable The Physical Address Extension (PAE) to allow 32-bit Windows systems to use more than 4 GB of physical memory.
To enable PAE, use the BCDEdit /set command to set the pae boot entry option.
Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP/2000: To enable PAE, use the /PAE switch in the Boot.ini file.
bcdedit /set pae ForceEnable

Currently there is no silver PC Bay insert and at the moment there are no concrete plans to do so.

Now that's funny.

Was it not May of 2007 that some one said;
The GX Typhoon will come in 2 colours initially and 2 more colours will follow in the next 8 weeks. There will initially be Silver Brushed Aluminum as well as Black Aluminum PC Bay inserts.

No, those are upcoming... the first Digital Baybus addon prototype is here and we are tweaking right now... I should have some pictures soon...

Some of the Features:

4x Fan Headers at 12+Watts
2x 1-Wire Digital temperature probes
3x analog temperature probes (or 4)
3x GPOs

That sucks that it only comes in Black. I have a silver case and I prefer silver cases to black cases but it has become increasingly difficult to find silver bezel parts.

Just try finding a silver bezel optical drive. They seemingly have disappeared overnight!
