Alternative Fan Filter Guide
"Besides using the typical bullseye design filter or some fancy laser cut design, there isn't much to choose from to cover up your fans. Of course, without a filter, you'd be more than likely to take a tinychunk off the tip of your finger. So after some tinkering, we got somesteel mesh and made our very own."

3RSystem Poseidon WCL-03 CPU Water Cooler
"The 3RSystem Poseidon WCL-03 is an intriguing product. The thermal results won't amaze, but the silence accompanying the performance is quite impressive. Having seen numerous air and water coolers in action over the years, I would have to say this is the quietest to date! The WCL-03 temperatures match up nicely with air cooling, and addressing a few issues in the design could make the device a solid performer."

MSI KM4M-L Micro ATX Motherboard
"For some reason I can't get the thought out of my head that this board is a stripped down version of the KM2M Combo-L that ExtremeMhz reviewed a while back, as it was overclockable and also had a more aggressive video solution. That aside, the KM4M-L is a solid, low cost board that lends itself to a low budget HTPC build. This board is an OEM manufacturer's dream however, as it is easily scaled up and down in accessories easily and cheaply. It also has all the critical items integrated into the board itself, allowing you to build in phases as well."
