Atrial fibrillation
(say "AY-tree-uhl fih-bruh-LAY-shun") is the most common type of irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia).
Normally, the
heart beats in a strong, steady rhythm. In atrial fibrillation, a problem with
the heart's electrical system causes the two upper parts of the heart, the atria, to quiver,
or fibrillate.
The quivering upsets the normal rhythm between the atria and the
lower parts of the heart, the ventricles. And the ventricles may beat fast and without a regular rhythm.
This is dangerous
because if the heartbeat isn't strong and steady, blood can
collect, or pool, in the atria. And pooled blood is more likely to form clots. Clots can travel to the brain, block blood flow, and cause a stroke.
Atrial fibrillation can also lead to
heart failure.
Conditions that
damage or strain the heart commonly cause atrial fibrillation. These
Other possible causes include:
Sometimes doctors can't find the cause. Doctors call this lone atrial fibrillation.
Symptoms may
Sometimes atrial fibrillation doesn't cause obvious symptoms.
If you have symptoms, see your doctor. Finding and treating atrial fibrillation right away
can help you avoid serious problems.
The doctor will ask questions about your past health, do a physical exam, and order tests.
The best way to find out if you have atrial fibrillation is to have an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG). An EKG is a test that checks for problems with the heart's electrical activity.
You might also have lab tests and an echocardiogram. An echocardiogram can show how well your heart is pumping and whether your heart valves are damaged.
Your treatment will depend on the cause of your atrial fibrillation, your symptoms, and your risk for stroke.
Medicines are an important part of treatment. They may include:
Doctors sometimes
use a procedure called cardioversion to try to get the heartbeat back to normal. This can be done using either medicine
or a low-voltage electrical shock (electrical cardioversion).
If symptoms keep bothering you, ablation may help. It destroys
small areas of the heart to create scar tissue. The scar tissue blocks or destroys
the areas that are causing the abnormal heart rhythm.
Atrial fibrillation is often the result of heart disease or damage. So
making changes that improve the condition of your heart may also improve your
overall health.
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
Learning about atrial fibrillation:

Living with atrial fibrillation:
Atrial fibrillation is a problem with the
heart's electrical system.
When something goes wrong with this system, it's usually because of other health problems that are causing wear and tear on the heart or making it hard for the heart to do its job. Sometimes it's because of lifestyle habits—such as smoking or heavy drinking—that are hard on the heart.
Atrial fibrillation is often caused by a health problem that directly affects the heart, including:
Atrial fibrillation can also be caused by other health problems, including:
Atrial fibrillation caused by a condition that is
treatable, such as pneumonia or hyperthyroidism, often goes away when that
condition is treated.
In some cases, doctors cannot find the cause
of atrial fibrillation. These cases are called lone atrial fibrillation. Lone
atrial fibrillation occurs more often in people younger than 65. It often stops
on its own. But it may need to be treated.
Atrial fibrillation is often discovered during routine
medical checkups, because many people don't have symptoms. Others may notice an
irregular pulse but don't have other symptoms.
Mild symptoms of atrial fibrillation may
occur immediately. More serious problems may occur after the start of
atrial fibrillation and over the course of several days. So it is important to
identify symptoms and get treatment as soon as possible.
Symptoms include:
Checking your pulse is important, because many people don't have symptoms of atrial
fibrillation. Ask your doctor how often you should check your heartbeat. Once a month might be right for you.
If you notice that your heartbeat doesn't have a regular
rhythm, talk to your doctor.
When atrial fibrillation comes on suddenly, lasts a short time, and goes away on its own, it is called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Typically, over time, episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation come on more often and last longer.
Over time, episodes of
atrial fibrillation typically last longer and often don't go away on their own. If an episode lasts more than 7 days, this is called persistent atrial fibrillation. Treatment with medicine or cardioversion can restore a normal rhythm. This normal rhythm may last for several weeks or longer before atrial fibrillation happens again.
Atrial fibrillation might start to happen all of the time. If atrial fibrillation has happened all of the time for at least 1 year, this is called permanent atrial fibrillation. Your treatments have not restored a normal rhythm, or you and your doctor have decided to stop trying to restore a normal rhythm.
A risk factor is anything that increases your chances of getting sick or having a problem. Risk factors for
atrial fibrillation include:
You may have certain habits that increase your risk for atrial fibrillation because they can cause wear and tear on your heart. These lifestyle choices include:
Call 911 or other emergency services immediately if you:
If you see someone pass out, call 911 or other emergency services immediately.
Call your doctor if you
If you take blood-thinning medicine, such as an anticoagulant or aspirin, watch for signs of bleeding.
Call 911 if:
Call your doctor right away if:
If you are injured, apply pressure to stop the bleeding. Realize that it
will take longer than you are used to for the bleeding to stop. If you can't get the bleeding to stop, call your doctor.
The following health professionals can
detect, diagnose and, in some cases, treat atrial fibrillation:
The following specialists can treat people who have severe symptoms:
electrocardiogram (EKG, ECG) is the best and simplest
way to find out whether you have
atrial fibrillation. It is usually done along
with a
medical history and physical exam.
If your doctor suspects
that you have atrial fibrillation that comes and goes, he or she may ask you to
use a device to record your heart rhythm for a while. This is
referred to by several names, including
ambulatory electrocardiogram, ambulatory EKG, Holter
monitoring, 24-hour EKG, and cardiac event monitoring. Your doctor might also use this device to check how well a medicine is working to control your heart rate.
Other tests your doctor may recommend include:
It's hard to say exactly what your treatment for atrial fibrillation will be, because it depends so much on your symptoms and your risk for other health problems.
Treatments are aimed at helping you feel better and preventing future problems, especially stroke and heart failure. There are three main types of treatment:
Rate-control medicines are used if your heart rate is too fast.
They usually do not return your heart to a
normal rhythm—in other words, your heartbeat will still be irregular. But these
medicines can keep your heart from beating at a dangerously fast rate. These medicines may also relieve symptoms.
Treatment to control your heart rhythm is done to try to stop atrial fibrillation and keep it from returning. It may also help your symptoms. Treatments include:
Atrial fibrillation is dangerous
because if the heartbeat isn't strong and steady, blood can
collect, or pool, in the atria. And pooled blood is more likely to form clots. Clots can travel through the bloodstream to the brain and other areas such as the legs. If clots travel to the brain, they can block blood flow and cause a stroke.
If you are at an average-to-high risk of having a stroke, your doctor may prescribe long-term use of an anticoagulant medicine, such as warfarin, to lower this risk.
If you are at low risk of having a stroke or you cannot take an anticoagulant, you may choose to take daily aspirin.
For more information, see Medications.
Do all you can to prevent heart disease, which is a cause of atrial fibrillation. Take steps toward a heart-healthy lifestyle.
Many people are able to live full and
active lives with atrial fibrillation. Most people don't have to change their daily activities.
atrial fibrillation is often the result of a heart
condition, making changes to improve your heart condition will usually improve
your overall health.
For more information, see:
When you take an anticoagulant (also called a blood thinner), you need to take extra steps to avoid bleeding problems, such as preventing falls and injuries. If you take warfarin, you also get regular blood tests and watch how much vitamin K you eat or drink.
If you have atrial fibrillation, you will likely take a medicine to help prevent a
stroke. You may also take a medicine that controls
your heart rate or your heart rhythm.
Anticoagulant medicines, also called blood thinners, are recommended for
most people with atrial fibrillation who are at average to high risk of
Anticoagulant choices include:
If you are age 55 or older and have atrial fibrillation,
you can find your risk of having a stroke in the next 5 years using this
Interactive Tool: What Is Your Risk for a Stroke if You Have Atrial Fibrillation?
For help deciding about an anticoagulant, see:
If you are at low
risk of stroke or cannot take anticoagulants, your doctor may recommend that
you take
aspirin. It doesn't work as well as anticoagulant
medicines in preventing clots, but it doesn't have as many side effects.
Your doctor may have you take other
antiplatelet medicines, such as clopidogrel (Plavix),
along with aspirin or instead of aspirin. When aspirin and
clopidogrel are used together, they may reduce the risk for stroke more than
aspirin alone. This combination of clopidogrel and aspirin doesn't work as well as an anticoagulant to prevent clots. Also, this combination is more likely to cause bleeding than
aspirin alone.
Rate-control medicines are used if your heart rate is too fast. The medicine slows your heart rate. Your heart rate may not need to be very low. A heart rate of 110 beats per minute may be enough to help you.1
These medicines
Rate-control medicines may relieve symptoms caused by the fast heart rate. But these medicines may not relieve other symptoms caused by atrial fibrillation.
Rhythm-control medicines (also known as antiarrhythmics) help return the heart to its normal rhythm and keep
atrial fibrillation from returning. They may help relieve symptoms caused by an irregular heart rate.
Electrical cardioversion uses a low-voltage electrical shock to return an irregular heartbeat to a normal rhythm.
If medicine doesn't help atrial fibrillation, a procedure called catheter ablation may be done. It destroys the heart tissue that causes atrial fibrillation and that keeps atrial fibrillation going after it starts.
For help deciding whether catheter ablation is a good choice for you, see:
Pacemakers are sometimes needed by people who have atrial fibrillation.

Paris Hilton tries to upstage 50 Cent, gets cussed out
Legend has it Paris Hilton tried to dance onstage during a 50 Cent performance over Super Bowl weekend. 50 wasn't having none of that and swore at Paris until she presumably got her bitch-ass off the stage. Why just words, 50? Was nobody in your crew packing that evening? I, for one, wouldn't think less of you if say, I dunno, somebody put a bullet in old wonk-eyed. In fact, I might call you "brother." And from another mother even.

Bumgarner takes perfecto into eighth in one-hitter
Morneau's double the only runner allowed by lefty; Posey homers twice
SAN FRANCISCO -- After catching the final out of Madison Bumgarner's Tuesday night masterpiece, Matt Duffy handed the ball to the man of the hour, who will eventually enshrine the keepsake in his personal trophy case. His shutout won't be immortalized in the history books, but it might as well.
Bumgarner was six outs away from a perfect game at AT&T Park when Justin Morneau intruded on the ace's flirtation with perfection, poking a double down the right-field line. That was all the offense the Rockies could amass, though, and the Giants won, 3-0, thanks to the star lefty's second career one-hitter.
There weren't any dogpiles on the mound or postgame champagne toasts in the clubhouse Tuesday, as was the case after Matt Cain's 2012 perfect game and Tim Lincecum's two no-hitters. But, as the numbers attest, fans along the shores of McCovey Cove were treated to one of the more dominant pitching performances in Major League history.
One hit allowed. A career-high-tying 13 strikeouts. Fifteen of the 28 batters faced fell into 0-2 counts. Eighty of 103 pitches were strikes.
"That game was probably more impressive than a lot of no-hitters," manager Bruce Bochy said. "That's how well he threw tonight."
That includes the 1-2 curveball Morneau knocked down the right-field line to lead off the eighth.
"I was going to try and bounce one low and away, and I think it would have bounced had he not hit it," said Bumgarner, who is tops in the National League with six double-digit strikeout games this season. "He's a good hitter and he happened to hit it pretty good.
"I felt good about it and have no regrets on throwing it."
For Bochy and Buster Posey, the most impressive aspect of Bumgarner's brilliance, even moreso than the one hit he allowed or his impeccable command, was what happened after the hit: four consecutive strikeouts.
Thanks to the hit, there wasn't another edition of Buster Hugs, but there was plenty of Buster Help.
Bumgarner's batterymate ensured he would have the little run support he'd need in the sixth inning. After a leadoff walk by Hunter Pence, Posey turned an 82 mph splitter from Jorge De La Rosa into a two-run blast to left-center to give the Giants a 2-0 lead. Posey added a solo shot in the eighth for his second career multi-homer game.
"No question," Posey said when asked if the run support was a major relief in the dugout. "At that point, you could sense that he had an opportunity to do it, and it definitely would've gotten a bit stressful if we didn't have any runs on the board in the ninth."
If not for a pair of tremendous defensive plays early in the game, perfect-game chatter would've never commenced.
It was way too early to consider the potential magnitude of the catch, but Gregor Blanco -- who has a knack for working his way into the highlight reel during perfect (or near-perfect) games from Giant pitchers -- preserved the bid for the perfecto well before history crept into anyone's minds. In the game's second at-bat, Drew Stubbs smacked a 93 mph fastball to deep left. Blanco tracked back and timed his leap to make the snag at the top of the wall.
In the fifth inning, Matt McBride hit a grounder toward the hole to Brandon Crawford's right. Crawford ranged right, gathered the ball and one-hopped his throw across the infield in time for Michael Morse to make an excellent pick, to preserve the perfect game through five. The play was bang-bang, but after a brief conversation with first-base umpire Jim Joyce, Rockies manager Walt Weiss opted not to issue a replay challenge.
"They looked very determined to straighten that out tonight," Bochy said of the defense, which committed four errors and balked in a run Monday. "We played very crisp baseball. The defense really picked us up, especially early. It's good to see guys bounce back."
The win kept the Giants five games behind the Dodgers in the National League West and increased their advantage on the Braves for the NL's second Wild Card spot to 1 1/2 games.
To Bumgarner, that was Tuesday night's most notable statistic.
"It's a cool thing to do and a good individual accomplishment, but that's not important to me," Bumgarner said when asked if throwing a no-hitter or perfect game is a goal. "It's definitely an amazing accomplishment, but when it comes down to it, we're trying to win games; it's not about something about yourself.
"The fact that we won was more than enough. That's all we're trying to do anyway."

Sometimes reddit throws up some fantastic stuff about life and work.
This graph really highlights what's frequently referred to as the first hacker virtue "Laziness". Instead of being content to do a task manually, they want to sit around and do less of that, thus the second hacker virtue "Impatience" comes in to play. The hacker gets impatient with the repetitiveness of the task and thus automates it – a time vs tasks trade off. They should recieve less "tasks" in the long term but there is an upfront cost in terms of time and effort.
Of course, this is a big simplification, and I feel like I'm botching an explanation – you can read more about all that here.
Anyway, go away and automate something. If that's not in your capabilities, consider learning.

Blain's Farm & Fleet knows all too well the misconception about conventional construction versus construction with a metal building system. In fact, the chain's director of engineering, Neal VanLoo, recently was challenged by an architect when building a new store.
"The architect was against using a metal building system because he thought the design would be a square, fixed-dimension tin box," VanLoo said. "We had to sit down and review the plans with him in order for him to realize the benefits of a metal building system."

A TV star's devotion to poorly children saw her saddle up for a charity cycle of more than 50 miles.
On Sunday, Bury-born actress and model Gemma Atkinson rode the 52-mile Great Manchester Cycle for the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.
The 29-year-old, who began playing Hollyoaks' Lisa Hunter while she was still a pupil at Castlebrook High, was one of 8,000 riders to participate in the event.
Currently starring as paramedic Tamzin Bayle in Casualty and filming in Cardiff, Gemma said she was excited to return to Manchester and get on her bike.
Speaking before the ride, she said: "I am really pleased to be able to do something for Royal Manchester Children's Hospital and to help them raise funds.
"They do wonderful work and it's a very worthy cause and one I'm proud to be contributing to.
"I know the event is going to be spectacular and a really fun day for everyone taking part."
Gemma has completed a number of events for the charity in the past, including the Great Manchester Run.
Hannah Thomas, the hospital's events manager, said: "Gemma visits the hospital regularly and the patients are always really excited to meet her."
The charity supports research funding to improve understanding of children's illnesses, helps create a more child-friendly environment at the hospital, and provides state-of-the-art diagnosis and treatment equipment.

Xochitl Guzman, founder and operator of Create Awake, a Los Angeles based small business, has won the Steve Mariotti Venture Award Pitch Challenge from the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE).
The Mariotti Award, named for NFTE founder Steve Mariotti, includes a $25,000 cash investment in the winning business. The award was announced May 12 to mark the start of National Small Business Week.
"I am honored and humbled to win this award and support from NFTE," Guzman said. "You hear all the time how important small businesses are – for our economy and for jobs – but we don't hear much about the people running these businesses or the organizations such as NFTE which help create and sustain them."
The award, funded by Aspire Giving, is open to those over 18 years old who have completed NFTE's core entrepreneurship education program and run a licensed, revenue producing business for at least two years. More than two dozen business leaders applied for the 2014 Mariotti award and Create Awake was selected by business leader judges from among three finalists.
"Xochitl and her business are an inspiration to young people everywhere," said Amy Rosen, President and CEO of NFTE. "Her creativity and ability to leverage the entrepreneurship mindset are great examples of the life-changing return we earn by investing in young entrepreneurs."
Create Awake is a jewelry company which infuses craft work with five generations of ancestral healing knowledge based on spiritual and cultural traditions of Mexico and South America. Their products are sold internationally through their website.
Guzman completed the in-school NFTE curriculum in 1994 in the San Francisco Bay area and earned her college degree from San Francisco State University, completing the Landmark Education "Curriculum For Living" Leadership course in 2006.

The official licenser of Pink Lady apples marketed in the U.S. is warning consumers not to buy fruit that hasn't been trademarked.
The "vast majority" of Pink Ladys marketed in the U.S. this season have met trademark standards, but enough un-trademarked Southern Hemisphere fruit has been imported to cause concern, Alan Taylor, marketing director for Wenatchee, Wash.-based Pink Lady America LLC, said in a news release.
Pink Lady America is asking consumers to purchase only apples that clearly display the Pink Lady trademark on Price-Look-Up stickers at retail, and to make sure that the trademark matches the Pink Lady name on the retail display.
"Consumers need to be assured that they are buying true Pink Lady brand apples that meet their expectations," Taylor said.

Barrett-Jackson, The World's Greatest Collector Car Auctions™, is upping the ante when it comes to best in show competitions. Held in downtown Reno, the Barrett-Jackson Cup is back for the 2nd Annual Hot August Nights Auction, July 31-Aug. 2, with a prize purse north of $100,000 and growing.
With the help of generous sponsors like General Motors, Ford, Sherwin Williams, Craftsman, Waterloo, Adam's Polish and more, the purse has more than doubled since the inaugural event last year. The prize package and trophy top all other similar awards in the industry, with the added bonus of national television coverage. The Ultimate Best in Show trophy is awarded along with $30,000 cash and other huge prizes on the auction block and seen around the country on the National Geographic Channel.*
Barrett-Jackson's historic partnership with the world's premiere classic car and nostalgia festival, Hot August Nights, began in 2013 and proved to be a match made in car heaven. Since then, Autoweek named Hot August Nights a top-three destination in the world for automotive enthusiasts. Huge hype around the auction's sophomore campaign is growing just as fast as the prize purse.
Judges Bobby Alloway, Pete Chapouris and Bob Millard, some of the most reputable names in the business, will pick a total of 25 cars from the downtown Reno "Show-n-Shines." The Show-n-Shines are made possible through a partnership with The Eldorado Hotel Casino, Silver Legacy Resort Casino, Circus Circus Hotel and Casino and Harrah's Reno. The 25 cars go to the downtown ballroom where the top five advance to the final ceremony on Saturday Aug. 2. Starting with fourth runner-up, the five finalist cars will enter the Auction Arena, one at a time, to receive their prize. The award ceremony culminates with the Ultimate Best of Show winner and presentation of the Barrett-Jackson Cup live in front of a television broadcast audience of more than 100 million homes during Barrett-Jackson Reno Auction coverage on the FOX family of networks.
The 2013 winner was a custom 1969 Ford Torino owned by George Poteet of Collierville, Tenn. and built by Troy and Jack Trepanier of Rad Rides by Troy. It was a highlight moment when Jack Trepanier, a keystone in the collector car community, accepted the award on the auction block. Sadly, Jack passed away in March of this year. Barrett-Jackson is dedicating the 2014 Barrett-Jackson Cup in his honor.
Entrants must be a registered participant of Hot August Nights and the Show-n-Shines. Register your vehicle or get more information by visiting HotAugustNights.net or calling the Hot August Nights Office at (775) 356-1956.

Guy was known as the 'candy man' since he loved handing out candy canes with silver dollars attached at Christmas.
Guy would have celebrated his 91st birthday this month and he and Ethel celebrated 67 years of marriage in June 2015.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/2/2013 (1661 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Apparently, the path is the same for fictional shows about Broadway musicals as it is for actual Broadway shows:
Rethink, reconsider, reject, recast, rewrite.
When NBC's sophomore drama Smash makes its prime-time return (tonight at 8 p.m.), viewers who stuck with the series through its intriguing but uneven first season will be greeted by a markedly different show than the one that ended its rookie run on as high a note as its scattered scripts could muster.
With a new showrunner in place (Gossip Girl alumnus Josh Safran has replaced series creator/executive producer Theresa Rebeck) and several of Smash's more annoying storyline distractions set aside, the revamped creative team can focus on what's important: the show within the show, and the musical performances that make Smash worth watching.
What's missing, blessedly, are Eileen's toxically scheming assistant Ellis and Karen's boringly unfaithful boyfriend/fiancé, Dev; in much-reduced roles are Julia's bruised husband, Frank, and their disenchanted teenage son, Leo.
And what's new is an expanded cast of characters within Smash's theatrical world, led by upstarts Jimmy Collins and Kyle Bishop (real-life rising Broadway stars Jeremy Jordan and Andy Mientus), who are in the midst of creating a young, hip, off-Broadway show called Hit List when a chance encounter with Karen Cartwright (Katharine McPhee) draws them into Bombshell's fast-swirling mix.
The second season also boasts a pretty hefty guest-star component, starting with Jennifer Hudson in a three-episode arc that begins with tonight's premiere. Also on the roster in coming weeks are Liza Minnelli, Sean Hayes, Jesse L. Martin and Nikki Blonsky.
As the new season begins, producer Eileen Rand (Anjelica Huston) is congratulating the cast of Bombshell for the show's successful run in Boston and promising to have the show up and running in a Broadway theatre within weeks.
Tensions are still high between Karen and her erstwhile lead-role competitor, Ivy Lynn (Megan Hilty), what with Ivy having slept with Dev and all. But with the show's future looking promising with Karen as its star, Ivy's future in the cast seems doubtful.
Meanwhile, snooty Brit director Derek Wills (Jack Davenport) suddenly finds his long and meandering history as a womanizer coming back to haunt him, and writer Julia Houston (Debra Messing) realizes that she's in big relationship jeopardy on two fronts -- her marriage to Frank is in tatters after her infidelity was revealed, and her creative alliance with Tom Levitt (Christian Borle) is faltering because she isn't shouldering her share of the Bombshell workload.
In preparation for what everyone assumes is a just-around-the-corner breakthrough, Derek introduces Karen to Broadway diva Veronica Moore (Hudson), who offers some advice on how to deal with the dizzying pace of sudden stardom.
Everything seems headed in the right direction, right up until the moment that it isn't. Someone leaks a bit of information that puts a spotlight on Bombshell's financing, and suddenly Eileen is scrambling in a way that puts everyone else's career into a spin.
It's a fairly satisfying -- and decidedly less soapy -- storyline to start the second season, and the new creative team's increased emphasis on musical numbers, both directly connected to and completely removed from Bombshell's continuing evolution, makes Smash a more seamlessly watchable show than it was in its first season.
Like any Broadway show, Smash does require more tinkering and fine-tuning. But for now, at least, it feels like it's headed toward the brighter lights it has always had in its sights.

A jerk stole a wallet from a woman at Connecticut Muffin on Seventh Avenue on Oct. 11.
The victim told cops she popped into the First Street bakery at 10:40 am. She reached into her purse an hour later — then discovered her wallet gone along with a credit card and a driver's license inside.

Boys & Girls Club Fundraiser: Kentucky Derby Theme Party
I was recently asked to style a local Boys & Girls Club Fundraiser and when given the stipulation that it had to be YELLOW I jumped at the opportunity. I love yellow!
I was recently asked to style a local Boys & Girls Club Fundraiser and when given the stipulation that it had to be YELLOW I jumped at the opportunity. I love yellow!
The fundraiser was a "preview" to the organization's larger black-tie affair called "The Greatest Big Kid Celebration." Jacqueline Kronk and her BGC member, Laylaa were paired up together and assigned the color yellow + a $10,000 pre-event goal for their team, so my mind started racing with themes and gimmicks involving the bright color.
Laylaa just so happens to also be in the running for BGC "National Youth of the Year" so it clicked… we were going to "Place our Bets on Jacqueline + Laylaa" and host "A Night at the Derby!"
I absolutely love this organization and what they offer a community's children. And this event gives people the opportunity to "vote" for a team at $40/vote. ($40 covers the cost of one child's Boys & Girl's Club Membership for the year.)
The Boys & Girls Clubs of St. Joseph County is a welcoming place for all boys and girls. A safe place to be after school and during the summer. A fun place. A place to learn and grow. A place to develop ongoing relationships with caring adult role models. A place to explore a variety of programs and activities. A place to inspire and empower future community leaders. A place to call their own. A place of hope and opportunity. A positive place!
A rose wreath welcomed guests to our party. It was such an elegant way to say "hello"!
Working within a budget for a fundraiser is sometimes a challenge. To keep costs to a minimum we chose to serve a select number of signature drinks. The Lemon Drop Martini was the big hit!
The dessert table was a big focal point at our party. It brought the theme together in a fun and cohesive way, but was also functional. Check out my tips to set up your own dessert table and add some dimension to your party space.
I made a couple of desserts for the fundraiser to reduce costs. These No-Bake Oreo Truffle Pops were easy to make for the crowd and also kept shopping costs down.
Another dessert we served were my easy banana parfaits. To dress up the desserts and party space without spending a ton, I tried to incorporate paper decor creatively, including these vintage menu signs and dessert flags.
With so many foundations, charities and organizations out there, it's tough coming up with a concept to raise money and get people to donate. There are a few ideas to help you though, just as they helped me with this party!

"This post card is absolutely adorable. The designers were so helpful with choosing the correct colors and positioning the text. I do wish there was a spot to include a return address but overall everything is very nice. I would recommend this product!"
"I loved the card. It was great quality and I loved that it looked like a postcard expecially considering that our wedding is somewhere tropical that one might send a postcard from :-)"
"This card was perfect for us and our beach wedding. We had a darker picture than the one in the example, but the different color options allowed us to pick one that would still show the text. I liked the way they slightly edited our message on the back of the card, it did look and sound better. Customer service was great, they helped make our picture look its best. The paper quality is nice, good thickness. I am so happy to share these with our loved ones."
"I love this trifold save the date! It's very unique and gives opportunity to use several engagement photos! Also, the design team worked with me to include the text that I needed (that did not originally fit) and to change the colors to match my wedding colors!"
"We got our save the dates in the mail today. I was shocked to see how amazing they turned out!! We are doing a wedding on a budget and saved ton by doing our save the dates on our own. They look as though we spent a lot of money to have them custom made. I ordered the pearl shimmer paper and envelopes and WOW! it really makes it pop. The cards are bigger than they appear in the pictures. Paper quality is nice too! We are super happy, we placed another order. You won't be disappointed."

Schools are less likely to fail if they group together as part of an academy trust, according to a government-appointed schools chief.
Frank Green, the schools commissioner for England, spoke to an audience of about 100 Essex headteachers and governors in Colchester yesterday.
The event, at the Weston Homes Community Stadium, was held with the purpose of encouraging more of the county's schools to consider becoming an academy.
Academies are state-funded, but are free of direct control from Essex County Council, and have greater freedom over their curriculum.
Mr Green said: "The chances of schools failing falls when you put them in a trust.
"Outstanding leadership at the top, and at classroom level, will benefit all the schools in the group."

Mayor Sam Abed learned that Escondido's Vallarta supermarket has struggled with panhandlers, vagrants urinating in palm trees and immigration agents harassing customers.
Vallarta officials learned that two nearby restaurants — Spires and McDonald's — will soon be rebuilt, and that the city's first Walmart will bring new competition starting in August.
Such exchanges of information were the primary goal of the mayor's visit last week to Vallarta, a Latino-themed supermarket chain that opened on East Valley Parkway nearly five years ago.
"I think we need to connect better with the business community and the residents," said Abed, who launched a series of visits to local merchants in November 2011.
"This helps them connect with the right people at City Hall," said Abed, who's visited 21 merchants so far. "A lot of times businesses have been dealing with an issue for years and years, and we solve it in a phone call."
Other goals of the visits are making merchants aware of city programs, such as grants to help them remodel their exterior, and finding out what challenges might prevent them from growing.
"It helps us develop policies tailored to business needs," Abed said.
Vallarta officials said the visit impressed them.
"It speaks volumes of your genuine interest," said Cesar Gonzalez, Vallarta's director of operations.
Gonzalez said Vallarta is concerned about the new Walmart nearby on East Grand Avenue, and a separate Walmart grocery wing scheduled to open simultaneously across from Vallarta on East Valley Parkway.
He said there would be significant overlap in the products sold by Vallarta and the Walmart grocery store. But he said Vallarta was up to the challenge.
"It's a free enterprise and this will push us to be that much better," he said. "I know it definitely will bring a lot of foot traffic."
Assistant City Manager Charlie Grimm predicted that Walmart might hurt Vallarta at first, but create a long-term boost.
"Wherever Walmart has opened, the economy nearby has gone up," Grimm said.
Gonzalez agreed, suggesting the additional foot traffic would mean extra customers for some unusual Latino products sold only at Vallarta.
Other concerns Vallarta officials raised included panhandlers and vagrants. Abed said the city would increase police presence near the store.
Store manager Juan Tostado said customers had previously been scared off by immigration officials and the city sometimes staging traffic safety checkpoints nearby.
But Tostado said both problems had cleared up in recent months.
Abed called Vallarta a great addition to Escondido.
"We appreciate having a business with Hispanic connections because half our city is Hispanic," he said. "You have maintained a good and positive image."
Vallarta has 174 employees working in its 42,000-square-foot store. It was the company's first store outside of greater Los Angeles. A second San Diego County store opened in National City this spring.
Gonzalez said Vallarta has tried to diversify its clientele beyond Latinos by offering popular products such as Stone beers.
In addition to standard grocery stores, Vallarta must compete with the Northgate Gonzalez Latino-themed supermarket just north of downtown. A third supermarket focused on Latinos, Mi Pueblo in East Valley, closed recently.
Any merchant who wants Abed to visit should call City Hall at (760) 839-4631.

SilthDraeth - Thursday, May 17, 2012 - linkBut then again, I am a sucker for that ammo can military green. Reply
kyuu - Thursday, May 17, 2012 - linkPretty sure the "ammo can" was actually the basis for the aesthetics, with the military green, the clips for the side panels, and the handles on top. I actually rather like it as well (though I'd personally probably go with the gunmetal grey instead).
The cooling performance is disappointing, unfortunately. However, didn't I see the reviewer state that the ambient temperature was higher than normal, which would skew the results...? Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Thursday, May 17, 2012 - linkThermal performance is listed as the delta above ambient, so all of the thermal results are adjusted to compensate for differences in ambient temperature. Reply
Arghem - Thursday, May 17, 2012 - linkBut as the base temperature of the CPU goes up it will draw more current and produce more heat. So making the temperature relative to ambient does not correct for a higher baseline temperature. If this was done in hot conditions then the thermal performance data for the chassis is not accurate relative to other chassis.
I realize they are doing as good as they can here but making the temperature relative does not remove bias created by lower or higher environmental temperatures. Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, May 18, 2012 - linkIt removes a large portion of the bias. It's not like Dustin is testing at 19C for one case and 30C for another; the temperatures are relatively constant at 23~26C (25.5C for this review). A 2C ambient difference should not create a 5C delta, which is basically what we're seeing with this case.
Now, you could stuff more fans into the C70, and that might help. I also think Dustin is right in that the initial positioning of fans is poorly selected -- I'd say at the very front of the drive cages would be better at least. Or you could use a watercooling setup and that would likely help tremendously. The thing is, you can do all those same things with a P280 or Eleven Hundred, and you should still end up with superior results. Reply
kevith - Friday, May 18, 2012 - linkYou nailed it! Reply
Arghem - Friday, May 18, 2012 - linkYour certainly right that the front fan placement is highly questionable. I wasn't meaning to imply that the higher ambient accounted for the entire difference in thermal performance only a portion of it. And yes probably a small portion in this case.
I was just pointing out that presenting the temperature as relative to ambient isn't perfect. It's simply the best that can be done without a perfectly controlled environment. Reply
BMAN61 - Saturday, May 19, 2012 - link" Or you could use a watercooling setup and that would likely help tremendously."
Yes; watercooling any setup vastly improves temperatures, but still requires air cooling to expel air from within the case (via the radiator), and a balanced amount of air coming into the case to create positive air pressure. So if the chassis has dismal airflow; it doesn't matter if you're using water cooling or not, temperatures will still be bad.
Being one that owns a (water cooled) Corsair 700D; I can say that airflow is what has been the problem with many of these cases, the 140mm fans that were shipped with the 700/ 800D cases are all garbage, but neither of these cases had (have) any fan mounts (other than one fan mount on the bottom) to bring fresh air into the chassis. Reply
m0n5t3r - Tuesday, April 30, 2013 - linkOut of the box, yes the cooling performance isn't great. The stock fans really don't contribute in the cooling, they are pretty shitty. But as you can see that is a lot of ventilation and fan mount options. Reply
Chaitanya - Thursday, May 17, 2012 - linkI still own a Ammo, I kept it aside just because of the looks were awesome. Reply
Sabresiberian - Thursday, May 17, 2012 - linkMe too; appearance wise, I think it looks pretty cool. Otherwise, not so much, but it gets a "+1) from me for appearance.
What I really want though is a case that will handle a 10-slot mainboard. Your case can't, it's not in the running for my dollar.
;) Reply
Samus - Friday, May 18, 2012 - linkI think its awesome. I painted a case ammo can green for lanparties 15 years ago, I loved that hunk of case and 17" CRT :)
All they need to do is team up with LG or Lite-on to make a matching faceplate. Reply
exordis - Thursday, May 17, 2012 - linkI'd love to know how easy it is to set watercooling up in this case. If that's what they were aiming for it might explain the bad thermals for an air cooled set up.
Not that they shouldn't be trying to do both well. Reply
ZekkPacus - Thursday, May 17, 2012 - linkI really feel like Corsair's cases, similar to most of Antec's higher-end cases, are designed with the idea and suggestion that the end user will install more fans. Most of Corsair's cases are also designed with a fairly obvious radiator mount, too.
Would be interesting to see you go back to a few cases (for example, the 500R, this case, and the Antec 1100), add 2 fans per case and a 240mm rad, and see how they do. I can't imagine anyone would spend $100+ on a case just to use the stock fans. Reply
bah12 - Friday, May 18, 2012 - link"I can't imagine anyone would spend $100+ on a case just to use the stock fans."
I can't imagine paying $100+ on a case and NOT using stock fans. That is a good bit of money to be spending for bleh cooling. One should not be asked to pay that amount, then turn around and spend more. Either sell it for less and I'll buy my own fans, or perform reasonably in a stock configuration. Just my 2 cents. Reply
ZekkPacus - Saturday, May 19, 2012 - linkPretty much every case I've ever used, I've added fans to the stock configuration. Mostly extra intakes. Reply
ClutchNerd - Wednesday, March 13, 2013 - linkWhat kind of 1d10t spends a crapton of money on a rig and DOESN'T buy some bada$$ fans to go with it? Thats like buying a McClaren F1 and NOT buying z-grade tires to hug the road... or buying a Cadillac Escalade without the spinners then b1tching that you're caddy doesn't have enough chrome on it. Or buying an 84" tv without the sports package. Think about it... Reply
zyxtomatic - Tuesday, July 22, 2014 - linkI know this is an old comment, but I had to reply: A McClaren F1 *does* come with extremely high performance tires from the factory. Absolutely no need to upgrade those until they wear out. :) Reply
Robert in Calgary - Thursday, May 17, 2012 - linkThis case comes in three colours from the get go, yet I still can't get a White 550D?
Rather.....annoying! Reply
ExodusC - Thursday, May 17, 2012 - linkThis actually seems to be a decent case, and since aesthetics were obviously in mind here, I can't stand the fact that they cut side-vent fan mounts/perforations- I personally have stopped running my systems wide side fans as I don't run a dual-GPU setup and with logical fan placement and case design, side fans are unnecessary (and can often times hurt airflow if you're not smart).
Just my personal preference- for cases with large windows (see: aesthetics), fan perforations are ugly and can let out noise and let in dust if you're not using them (and if you are, you need dust filters, obviously). Reply
LeftSide - Saturday, May 19, 2012 - linkI couldn't agree more! I actually love the design and want the green, but I would have to replace the glass in the side. The perforations just look cheap. I wonder if it's easy to replace? Reply
ClutchNerd - Wednesday, March 13, 2013 - linkDouble wall some 32-bit digi camo duct tape from walmart. Effective, clean (Doesn't get that crap dust residue buildup), and goes great with the olive green. FYI to everyone calling it "Ammo can green"....it's actually "Olive green" which is the exact same color used by the military. Reply
Barbarossa - Friday, May 18, 2012 - linkGeorge from Corsair here - first things first, the review was very thorough, Dustin. Thanks for paying attention to the details.
The thermal performance results are somewhat surprising - we've got a couple of internal test platforms we use to just thermal performance, and the C70 was among the best. In fact, the specific reason we moved the fans to the back of the hard drive cage was because it dropped GPU temps in our tests 2-3 degrees at idle and even more at load.
Thanks for the comments and suggestions - even though your results don't match ours, there are so many possible configurations that I'm sure we were bound to be surprised sooner or later.
It sounds like the ID isn't really for you - that's fine. The C70 is the most outlandish/aggressive design we've ever done. We knew it'd be love it or hate it. As a company, one of our strengths is refined and streamlined designs - we felt like taking a step in another direction with this case.
Again, thanks for the review - even though it isn't 100% positive, it only helps us develop better cases going forward. Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Friday, May 18, 2012 - linkGeorge, I'm really psyched that you guys popped up here.
You know I'm a big fan of Corsair's hardware and I kind of just have to report on what my experience is with the kit. As far as the ID goes, I tried to be fairly balanced with it and keep in mind what the readers are usually into, but judging from the comments here you don't have anything to worry about.
I think it's definitely an unusual step for Corsair. I don't want to ever discourage you or any other company from being daring with their products and trying radically different approaches/designs/etc. I just feel like you weren't as experimental with the internal design as you could've been. Apart from the random crap like trouble tightening the screws, the overall logic of how the case comes together is stellar and I want to see that progress in future cases.
You guys are SO CLOSE to making a bulletproof case design and I think you'll get there. I want to see the ease of assembly and typical acoustics of a Corsair and the thermal performance of a SilverStone. Corsair doesn't have an enthusiast standby in their stable yet quite like Antec's P180/182 were or SilverStone's FT02 can be, but like I said...you're really close.
As a sidenote, if you'd like to share your testing data with me and what your results looked like, it can at least inform my future reviews. Reply
LeftSide - Saturday, May 19, 2012 - linkGeorge, can you comment on how the side plexiglass is installed? Could I easily replace it with a custom solid plexiglass? The perforations for the side mount fans are the only thing keeping me from getting this case. Reply
soloburrito - Friday, May 18, 2012 - linkI don't see how any air can make it past the hard drive cage and feed those front fans. I bet removing just one cage and having a fan pulling in cool air directly from outside the case would make a noticeable difference in temps
That said, i really like the design as far as "gaming" cases go. It stands out, but yet it's still fairly classy maintaining clean lines and staying away from cheap, glossy plastic to add "flare". Check out the other colors. The white version looks fantastic with the "smoked" side window.
Open up the hard drive cages a little more and add a top fan from the factory. A $140 case that only includes 3 120mm fans (albeit good quality) seems a little too frugal, Corsair. At the very least put the third fan on the side panel or roof to stimulate better airflow inside the case. Reply
Zebo - Friday, May 18, 2012 - linkLooks like something you attach to a tank not really suitable for house. Reply
milkod2001 - Friday, May 18, 2012 - link@Corsair George,
if you still here,
is Corsair planning in future revisions of 600T add all magnetic dust filters and internal USB3 header as 550D comes with? These are only thing holding me off that case :( Reply
Barbarossa - Friday, May 18, 2012 - linkI can't comment on any unannounced stuff. Sorry man. Reply
Gunbuster - Friday, May 18, 2012 - linkI wish newegg would get these in stock.... Reply
clarkn0va - Friday, May 18, 2012 - link"the fans on the processor and graphics card wind up not having to work anywhere near as hard."
That's like telling us that a vacuum cleaner sucks. Reply
Dr_b_ - Friday, May 18, 2012 - linkWithout having the case yet some things that I would do:
-Offer for sale a side panel with window that does not have ventilation/mount points for fans, or ship the product with one that doesn't and offer for sale one that does.
-Make the front mounted ports optional, so that if a user does not wish to use the front USB/Audio, the cable for them can be easily removed.
-Make sure there is plenty of room for the cables to stick out of the hard drives such that they have clearance for the right side panel (if there isn't already, necessitating angled SATA cables)
Other than that you do have a winning design, a lot of people I talk to like the case design and aesthetics, unlike the reviewer, who did state it was a matter of taste.
Myself, like a lot of other people who will be buying the case, will install their own fans and additional fans ontop of that, and a fan controller -- so cooling with factory default setup and fans is a mute point but a valid review consideration I suppose, but not a factor in my buy decision. By the time I put in two top 120's and change out all the factory fans, I don't think I am going to have an air cooling problem, but on the other hand i don't want to put my kit in an oven. Reply
cyberguyz - Friday, May 18, 2012 - linkBought Carbide 500R case. Liek most of Corsair's cases it wasn't cheap. In most respects it seems a decent case. I did some research on it and by all intents and purposes seemed the operfect case for me. Until I got it home, opened it up and tried to fit my Asus Maximus IV Extreme Z into it.
See that sunken motherboard pan that the motherboard nestles into? Well if you have an E-ATX motherboard, it barely fits into that. What end up with is the lip along the side of the sunken pan making the whole bottom row of SATA ports UNUSABLE. If you have a high-end E-ATX board like a Gigabyte X79-UD7, look at other options guys. Most of Corsair's cases won't work with your board without some creative metalwork.
What really bugs me about this site (Yes YOUR site Anand!) is that case reviews like this one are routinely done here showing off how well a MICRO ATX motherboard fits in it. Impressive! Look at all the room I have around it! Get serious guys! How many guys really go out and buy a FULL SIZE case to turn around and pop a mATX motherboard into it?
Except for the dodgy paint and styling, this case review could almost clone the one that was done on the Carbide 500R right down to the mATX motherboard used to 'test' it. Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Saturday, May 19, 2012 - linkWe use a MicroATX board because it allows us to compare acoustic and thermal results between ATX and MicroATX cases, and because there's very little reason to actually use an ATX board for testing other than to make sure it fits. Which wouldn't even necessarily help with your little "issue."
You're also complaining about how you couldn't fit your E-ATX board into a case that isn't specced for E-ATX, so clearly that's Corsair's fault. Reply
Olaf van der Spek - Friday, May 18, 2012 - linkWouldn't mounting the fans at the side (by default) provide better cooling? Intake would be unrestricted and airflow would be directed at CPU & GPU. Reply
hu_willy - Saturday, May 19, 2012 - linkThis case looks really good. But is it able to but in a MSI Big Bang XPower II (X79)which is a XL-ATX(or E-ATX, can't remember. ) ? Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Sunday, May 20, 2012 - linkIf I didn't list that spec, the case doesn't support it. Reply
GullLars - Sunday, May 20, 2012 - linkThis is related to the part of the conclusion
"I'm reasonably certain that an end user willing to tinker and test different cooling configurations in the C70 will be able to get better results than I did, but by extension Corsair should've had this figured out before the case even shipped. Whatever the optimal fan configuration might be, I'm pretty sure this isn't it. The fans that come preinstalled are actually fairly quiet at full throttle, but they don't seem to be moving a whole lot of air either. As a result, the case's performance is severely short-changed. Slightly better airflow from the case fans can actually do wonders for reducing thermals and noise<...>"
What is tested here is a basic configuration of the case thermal wise. It's clearly made to be expanded if needed, with a strong hint towards H100 if you have a decent CPU.
I guess it's not what Anandtech does, but i think this could recieve a favourable review if you swapped out the CM 212 for an H100, and if you go for a high-end GPU also put in a couple of Noctua fans. Reply
awg0681 - Monday, May 21, 2012 - linkThe only way to make fair comparisons between cases is to test them at stock configuration (with the same internal hardware and testing methodology obviously). Yes, it's true you could do X, Y, and Z to any case and achieve better thermals than what you find on review sites.
Dustin would be here all day testing different configurations and coolers if that were done and we would be left with far fewer case reviews. Then Anand and Dustin would also be inevitably faced with comments of people saying "well if they had done [insert suggestion] on this case instead of [whatever] that case would have beaten this case" and being called unfair, etc, etc.
This is meant to be a "this is what you can expect out of the box" review, as are all the reviews of all cases at Anand. That way you know when comparing cases based on reviews here that for X amount of money you get Y from your case out of the box. Then it's up to you if you want to spend extra for whatever else that might improve the performance, such as spending an extra $150+ on H100 and fans for a $140 case. A lot of cases could end up with a more favourable review if the reviewer added to them. Perhaps manufacturers should give more attention to how a case ships if they'd prefer a better review. ;-) Reply
Gunbuster - Monday, May 21, 2012 - linkDear Corsair,
Why did you send units out for review (Anandtech and LegitReview) while having no availability with the major online sales channel? Newegg and Amazon have no stock or availability dates. Reply
hzuiel - Sunday, May 27, 2012 - linkSo those nitwits of you complaining about the arrangement of the front fans, did you actually look at the review and perhaps see where he removed the front case cover and there were *gasp* holes to screw in a fan, and space inside the cover to accomodate such fans? Yes I know it blows your minds but sometimes you can actually put fans in places where there isn't a fan that comes with the case. Every case I've ever owned has had at least 1 slot that didn't come with a fan in it. if there is a spot for a fan, and it doesn't come with one for there, i put one there, and guess what, i always have great airflow. I also tend to replace the cheapie fans that come stock, with much more powerful fans. So reviews like this don't mean much to me because i will always get better numbers when i use the same case. I look at how the case is actually designed and this thing looks amazing as far as number of fans supported and positioning. Reply
alexloa - Wednesday, May 30, 2012 - linkHi, I got the C70 just 2 weeks ago, the design (outlook) is so cool, would like to have advise how to install my fans, details as follows:
VGA card--------MSI 6850 OC
CPU Cooler ---cossair H60
Fans-------------2 pcs SERVO Gentle Typhoon ( for H60)
2 pcs GELID Silent 12
4 pcs cossair stock fans Reply
panopset - Sunday, October 05, 2014 - linkLooks like the H60 has a similar radiator size as the Zalman LQ315. The built in top fan was compatible with my radiator, so I have the radiator sandwiched between the Zalman and Corsair fans. I had to move the whole thing to the top front fan mount because otherwise it would bump in to my memory cards. That maxed out the radiator tube length, but it still fit. Reply
jsinner - Monday, February 25, 2013 - linkyour missing the x2 120mm fans for the "Front", look behind the front chassis access panel Reply
Lowri77 - Saturday, January 25, 2014 - linkI really love the styling of this case, and as someone suggested the best way to ensure the smoothest air flow would be to take out both bottom cages and put the twin fans on the front and to have a solid perspex side made to replace the fan mounted one. Personally for me this will be my second build of a computer and this is defo the case I will be going for, love the unique design (I find most of the cases, black and boring. At least this one wants to be noticed.)
For my new build I am going with -
5 x Noctura F12 fans
Only the H100 (not the i) water cooling
Gigabyte FXA990 UD3 Mobo
8320 Cpu
R9 270 Gpu
8 Gb of Ram
Be Quiet 630 Psu
Keeping my SSD (OCZ Vertex and 1Tb backup HDD)
And at the moment I am so excited, might not be the world's most amazing computer but for me it will be awesome.

Metrologist - Saturday, March 15, 2014 - linkYou state that, "...the thermal and acoustic results recorded..." and "Ambient temperature is also measured...".
The differences between your recorded temperature results and those done by Corsair are almost certainly because of the temperature instruments (and probes) used to perform the recorded results. What is your temperature instrument used to record these readings? Is it calibrated by an accredited laboratory? Or, are you even using an external instrument to record the temperatures or are you relying upon different motherboard readings? It doesn't take much to alter temperature readings especially when you are only looking at 1 or 2 degrees C differences.
Your test setup should include how you determined the actual temperature readings.
The temperature references in this article mean nothing until the temperature method can be explained.
Additionally, is your "acoustic" instrument calibrated? I'll go out on a limb here and say it isn't!
Prove me wrong!
-The Metrologist Reply
zyxtomatic - Tuesday, July 22, 2014 - linkI know this is an old review, but I wanted to ask: Has anyone tested this C70 case with both drive cages removed and the two drive cage fans moved to the front of the case instead? Seems like that would increase positive airflow from outside, which should improve cooling considerably. In this day and age, I just don't understand why gaming cases still have all these drive cages, especially at the expense of cooling. I have a pair of SSDs, and honestly the second one is only in there because I have no other use for it. I could easily run with just one if needed.
Anyway, this normally isn't the kind of case I'd go for (I'm a quiet case sort of person), but I do like the tough design and especially the handles, since I often have to carry my computer from my office downstairs to my home theater upstairs. Reply
kasdesign1 - Sunday, August 14, 2016 - linkBought this case for its ammo can look, easy to build features. Was noticing poor reviews of thermal tests. Much of the poor thermal results is loss of pressure from all the extra vents where there are no fans. The intake fans behind the disk drives moves in cool air and mimics high end rack servers where the fans are actually in the middle of chassis. The exhaust fan helps remove heated air from the cabinet. I'm using an air cooled CPU fan cooler to avoid fan noise directed right at me. What I'm planning to do is seal all unused fan openings top, side and anywhere else I can find leaks. Then the supplied fans will actually do the work they were meant to do.

blazeaglory - Friday, August 04, 2017 - linkI agree about the amount of un-needed ventilation. I've seen people take the clear acrylic side and replace with a solid (non fan mount) window. Also, if you're not running water cooling, i would maybe seal up one (half) the top and bottom vents, or just the bottom while using two fans venting on top (might be over kill). Also, people remove the hdd bays and move the fans to the proper placement up front. I'm sure that would, with the proper fans (non water cooled), bring temps down significantly. Reply
