NOT BADI purchased this on sale a few months back at Ulta. It definitely does lock in shine and seal out frizz but the scent is awful to me. I hold my breath and keep my window open when I spray it on my hair. It's a great size can for the price I paid ($7.99 on sale) and I like that it will last me a long time. I really wish they would create a better scent for it though. It works great with my hair and doesn't weigh it down at all. Bad scent aside, this is a great product. — 6 years, 5 months agolisa2683 | 77 reviews

My hair is so sleek now!As much as I try with my hair, I feel like I was always teetering between voluminous, but frizzy and smooth, but lifeless. With this mist, I stay bouncy and shiny. The price is a bit steep, so I stock up at Ulta when they have big sales on it (paired with those nifty circular coupons, I can usually get my bottles for about seven bucks). Even if I did have to pay full price for a bottle, I wouldn't balk. I haven't found a single product that does what this does! — 4 years, 9 months agoD.Catherine | 40 reviews

OkI used this after straightening my hair. It toned down my frizz! It didn't add any shine but toning down my Frizz was a miracle in itself! I didn't like the smell! Kind of expensive! I really don't think I will buy this again because of the price — 5 years, 4 months agoMishashawnea | 47 reviews

Topic: New chemo regime and update on my husband
Hi guys,
Well we just got home yesterday, 8/30. We headed to Houston with then idea Gordon would have surgery on 8/20 and when that changed the plan of next steps had to change.
So we had appts with Dr Javle and dr. Vauthey the same week of the 20th. Good news is Dr. Vauthey said he is not giving up we are going to reelavuate after the round of chemo. I may be repeatin somethings, give me a little grace it has been a long two weeks.
So Dr Vauthey got on the phone with Javle in the middle of our appt and decided that gordon needed to get the stents out and get the drain that comes out of the skin, to avoid anymore infections and Javle was very concerned about these infections as well. I think everyone knows how dangerous these infections can be for cc patients.
So we went home over the weekend picked up our kids brought them back for the week of removing the stents and putting the drain in, also a picc line.
We he got the stents out on Monday, couldnt get him in to get the other drain in until Wednesday morning, Gordon started feeling bad on Tuesday ran a 101 fever and they loaded him up with antibiotics and postponed the the surgery for a couple of hours. They caught the infection in time. I dodn't know if he would be in ICU when he got out and the doctor warned us and to prepare for Gordon to be in the hospital for a couple of days. But everything went fine, he didn't have a fever after they finished, we love love love the people at MDA!!! They took good care of both of us!!
I had one meltdown in the cafeteria and one in front of the nurse in the room. I thought I was getting sick but I had been so busy running around getting his scrips and learning how to care for the picc and his drain, I had to take classes and a test!!! did great by the way!! but i was just exhuasted and emotional, its amazing what a hug will do
He got discharged Friday and we headed the 3 hour trip home, Gordon was in so much pain because of the rough road but as soon as he got home he has been doing great!! Okay some questions...
Here is the chemo regimin that Gordon will start on Wednesday...
Cetuximab(erbitux);5 fluorouracil and Leuconvorin;Irinotecan(camptosar) he will have a pump at home and I think this is a 2 month regimin.
Also Gordon has referred pain in his shoulder anyone else had that?? and do you guys ever keep something extra strong like Morphine if you are the patient has breakthrough pain??
okay all for now!!

When your child's teeth first come in, you should clean them with a
soft cloth or gauze pad. As more teeth come in, brush your child's teeth with a
soft brush. Because too much fluoride can be toxic and can stain a child's teeth, ask your doctor or dentist if it's okay to use fluoride toothpaste. At 3 or 4 years of age, your child should be
able to learn to brush on his or her own with your help. By 8 years of age,
your child will probably no longer need your help. It is important that your
child make brushing a habit, as this limits
tooth decay and helps prevent
Although some children quickly learn to brush their teeth, others do
not. If you are having trouble getting your child to brush, try some of the
following suggestions.
You can also involve your child in dental health by letting him or
her pick out a toothbrush and toothpaste. Talk to your dentist about the type
of toothbrush your child needs, and steer your child in that direction. When
choosing a toothpaste, stay clear of tartar-cleaning toothpastes, as they may
taste bad or "sting" a young child's mouth. Ask your child if he or she likes the toothpaste, and change it if
this is not the case.
Keep all fluoride products, such as toothpastes and mouthwashes, away from your child. Too much fluoride may be toxic and can stain a child's teeth. Also, teach your children to spit out the toothpaste and not swallow
Most importantly, set a good example. Children imitate their parents,
and if your child sees that you don't brush, don't seem to enjoy brushing, or
do it too quickly, he or she might well do the same.

Topic: CyberKnife
Mom's oncologist doesn't recommend us checking into CyberKnife because she has 3 different spots. They are all very small, but they are spread out. They are lymph nodes, and they run in a row. I know that a few people here have had good results from CyberKnife, and I was wondering what you were told the requirements were to have the procedure done?
Thanks so much!

TROY Batchelor is far from the Robins' only representative at tonight's British Grand Prix in Cardiff.
While the Australian is looking to back up his success in Copenhagen a fortnight ago, an army of Swindon volunteers will be working behind the scenes to ensure the biggest event on the speedway calendar runs smoothly for riders and fans alike.
Led by Blunsdon clerk of the course Michael Hunt and pit marshal Andy Reynolds, who will be fulfilling the same roles at the Millennium Stadium tonight, a team of eight members of the regular Swindon track will be working on the temporary circuit in Wales when the best riders of the world battle it out for vital points in pursuit of the title.
Hunt has been assistant clerk at the GP for the last three years, backing up former Birmingham boss Phil Morris, but now the Welshman is in Chris Harris' corner for the series, Hunt has been asked to step up.
The supermarket manager's tasks vary from working with race director Tony Olsen to ensure the track is in good condition to making sure there are enough toilets for the riders, and is proud to be representing Swindon at the event.
"When they asked me to take on this job it really didn't take me very long to say yes," he said.
"I went out to Geneva for a course to make sure I was ready for this event because there is an awful lot to do.
"When you go to Swindon every week all the framework is in place to run a meeting, but Cardiff's very different because you need to sort out the things from scratch because it's a multi-use venue and obviously there's only one speedway meeting a year.
"It's a real honour to be a part of it all and the track's looking good so we should be in for a good meeting."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 24/3/2014 (1246 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
With the court as their battleground and a basketball in place of spears, the girls of Vincent Massey hoops emerged victorious from their own Trojan War.
'It feels good to win when it really matters' —Vincent Massey's Keylyn Filewich
On Monday night, the Vincent Massey Trojans vanquished the Sisler Spartans 70-53 to claim Manitoba's top high school basketball title, sealing the deal in front of a roaring crowd at the University of Manitoba's Investors Group Athletic Centre. It is the Trojans' first championship since 2009-10, and the fact that it came off of a positively Hellenic matchup against the top-seeded and previously unbeaten Spartans... well, that just sweetened the win.
"It's unbelievable," beamed Grade 12 Trojans guard Atoosa Jalayeri, who racked up 11 points, 13 rebounds and five steals and was named the tournament MVP. "I remember last year, watching the Final Four. We didn't quite make it, actually lost to Sisler. I looked down from the stands and it was a dream. Now, it's a dream come true."
The game ended as it began, in a thunder of cheers from the stands. Each of the two rowdy ranks of fans were led by a duelling warrior mascot, clad in crested helmets and homemade battle gear: a green and black tunic for Massey's eager Hector, a red cape for Sisler's hoplite -- or was he their shirtless, be-sneakered Menelaus? At any rate, with apologies to well-trodden mythology, the Spartans bore no wooden horse this time, and launched no devastating siege.
Instead, it was the Trojans who struck first and hardest, opening up a 21-12 lead by the end of the first quarter. Sisler had no answer for Massey's 6-foot forward Keylyn Filewich, who potted four of her five deuce attempts and grabbed five rebounds in those first 10 minutes alone. Nor was she the only one to step up big in that first frame: the Trojans' attack ran deep and their defence came up strong.
"It was really important to get the nerves out, calm ourselves down and really get into the game," said Filewich, who though still a freshman finished with 18 points and 14 boards. "Our defence was spot on today. We were talking, our communication was great. Offensively, we were going to the boards and getting more rebounds than them."
The Spartans tightened their defence after that, forcing Filewich into sloppier shots in the second quarter -- she hit just one of six attempts there -- and limiting Massey to 14 points. But the Sisler squad was without its own top general, as freshman guard Kyanna Giles is in Edmonton this week trying out for the national team. Her twin sister, Kyia, wore her No. 11 jersey in her place, and finished with eight points and six rebounds.
Still, the Spartans bravely pushed back. Led by forward Tiara Licsi, who finished with 15 points and four rebounds, the Sisler squad scored 22 points in the final quarter, more than they made in the middle two frames combined. It wasn't nearly enough to climb out of the hole, especially not while the Trojans were adding 21 more points of their own. Sisler was 31-0 entering the Final Four.
Meanwhile, much of this Massey team will be back next season, led by Filewich and a wealth of other talented grade 10 and 11 players carrying the lessons they learned in the battle for this banner. "We've been trying to beat them and we've had struggles, we've lost to them by lots, we've been close," Filewich said. "It feels good to win when it really matters... it's a nice start to my high school career."

Yes, Bing Crosby and Nat King Cole will likely make appearances today singing their famous Christmas tunes, but queer artists have their signature contributions as well. I mean, Fred Schneider's ridiculous humor may not compare with traditional carols, but he proves we need a little disco year round. And Pink Martini can croon just like the best of them.
Here's a rundown of my top queer Christmas tunes for the day to add your to mix. Bing and Nat won't mind the company.

Topic: What happens next?
My husband was diagnosed in July of 2007 with intrahepatic cc. He was unable to have a resection because of high portal vein pressure (from cirrohsis) so had radio frequency ablation on the 5+cm tumor. Until recently, he has had no symptoms other than extreme fatigue. He has no jaundice. He is now complaining of mild abdominal pain, experiencing pruritis, and is moderately confused about things (like which day to put out the trash, etc). He sleeps over 20 hours per day and really only eats ice cream now. Any other food makes him nauseated and he sometimes vomits after eating. He continues to drink vodka moderately but is loosing interest in that...What can I expect in the near future....do things get worse from here or does this period last for an extended amount of time? His ablated tumor area is now 14 cm....not sure if that is more tumor growing or just the ablated area around the original 5cm tumor. There may also be friends (hepatcellular carcinoma) showing themselves. Thoughts??? I just have no idea what to expect and no Dr.s seem to know much about cc. This is my only hope for info. Thanks.

The New York Jets were feeling pretty good on the flight back from over the pond after improving to 3-1 with a 27-14 victory over the Miami Dolphins at Wembley Stadium on Oct. 4. Todd Bowles' bunch would win the following week, too, topping Washington and getting off to a surprising 4-1 start.
Meanwhile, the loss cost Joe Philbin his job, with Dan Campbell taking over as interim coach of the struggling Dolphins.
The Jets (5-5) are 1-4 since, mired in a stretch of inconsistency that has seen them slip from early-season sensations to trying to remain in the playoff hunt.
Must-win at MetLife Stadium on Sunday?
"No, I like to stay away from that term," quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said. "Every game, we're out there trying to win."
But a victory would go a long way in helping get New York back on track. The Jets are tied with Houston and Buffalo on the outside looking in — and the Texans and Bills each have the tiebreaker after wins over New York the last two weeks.
"I think we're awake," Bowles said when asked if the team needed a wakeup call. "That's the problem. I just think we need to execute better."
The Dolphins (4-6) haven't been to the playoffs since 2008, and might need to sweep their final six games to end the drought.
"Everybody in this locker room believes we're going to win out and make the playoffs," center Mike Pouncey said.
The Dolphins are 3-3 under Campbell, who has something in common with Bowles — they have both been interim coaches with Miami. Bowles took over for the fired Tony Sparano in 2011.
Miami heads to New York having won its last three visits to the Meadowlands and six of its past seven.
"We are more aggressive than we were the first time they played us, and for the most part we've been able to stay in games," Campbell said. "That game got out of control on us and we ended up being one-dimensional the last time we played them, which is kudos to them."

Citation: Inoue, M., Brown, R., Barker, R.E., Casler, M.D., Jung, G. 2008. Comparative QTL Mapping for Seed Weight Between Ryegrass and Cereals [abstract]. ASA-CSSA-SSSA Annual Meeting Abstracts. Abstract No. 782-9. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Seed weight is one of the most important, complex traits in breeding and domestication process for several major food crops (e.g. rice and wheat). Comparative mapping studies provide insight into the evolution of genome organization within species and the understanding important traits conserved during domestication process. Genetic characterization of some loci underlying those traits, which are conserved throughout the domestication, is important to be investigated. We evaluated the 100 seeds weight of all progenies in an annual _ perennial ryegrass interspecific hybrid population (MFA x MFB). A well-saturated linkage map for Lolium (2n=14), previously constructed from the same population using heterologous RFLP (restriction fragment length polymorphism) probes was used for comparative analysis of the seed weight QTL between ryegrass and cereals. The plants were grown in different geographical locations (Oregon and Wisconsin) and years (2000, 2001, and 2005). Two seed weight QTL were identified in the MFA x MFB population on linkage groups 2 and 4. These QTL were associated with variations for seed width and seed length in this population. Our results also indicated that ryegrass seed weight QTL are on syntenic chromosomal regions where QTL for seed weight related traits of rice and wheat were previously detected. This result suggests that those QTLs might have remained conserved despite of different intensities of domestication.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A Brazilian defense contractor has cut the ribbon on its new facility at Jacksonville International Airport.
Embraer Defense and Security and its U.S. partner Sierra Nevada Corporation recently won a government contract to build 20 A-29 Super Tucano airplanes over a five-year period. The contract with the U.S. Air Force is worth roughly $427 million.
"This is the first defense and security assembly operation outside of Brazil, so it's an important project for us," said Gary Spulak, president of Embraer Aircraft Holding Inc.
The new facility will support 1,400 jobs across the U.S., including 50 local high-paying positions.
The planes will be used to provide light air support, reconnaissance and training capabilities to the Afghanistan military.
It's projected to be a vital element of the U.S.'s Afghan withdrawal strategy.
Gov. Rick Scott was among the attendees Tuesday morning at the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
"Every family when they get a job, it changes their life," Scott said. "They can live their version of the American dream and the have the funds to invest in the priorities of the state, which is happening in education."
Mayor Alvin Brown said the airline company chose Jacksonville as its assembly site because of its facilities, logistics and skilled labor force in being a big military town.
"It is business friendly. It has a skilled workforce," Brown said. "We have experience, and one of the things I did as mayor is find jobs for veterans."
The governor says aviation is a rapidly growing business, and the state is No. 2 in aerospace and aviation jobs. He said if this project goes well, the sky's the limit for Florida.
"This is the state to do business in and the reason why we are a right-to-work state," Scott said. "You don't have to be the member of a union if you don't want to. There's no income tax, no business tax, a very pro business attitude at the state level and local level."
The first aircraft is scheduled to be built and delivered by this time next year.

Favorite quote:
So, with the most recent debates about whether women should have access to reproductive health care, there have been several alarming practices:The thing is, though, before you send off your report I wanted to ask you about what I should do regarding this wonky ovary. Now that you're an expert on all things Unspeakable and Girly, I have to defer to you, Tiny White Man in My Underpants. This son of a bitch ovary hurts. As you know, the doctor wants me to take these birth control pills, but I'm no fan of pills. I prefer wonky ovaries and getting as many abortions as my federal government punch card allows.
Just kidding!
1. shutting women out of the discussions about health care for women.
2. discrediting the experiences of women who advocate for insurance to provide for birth control.
3. ignoring sites of hypocrisy, like where men easily get coverage for erectile dysfunction.
4. ignoring the absurdity of some rules, where women can get birth control if it's not used for birth control.
5. overstating the effects of birth control or skewing facts in any number of other ways.
Certain lawmakers, usually Republican, have been so persistent with these attacks that it's nothing short of policing women. Or, in the case of this post, planting a hall monitor over women's health. It's quite a vivid and potent metaphor, here played to great humor, but elsewhere used justly as a call for women to have ownership over their own body, their own health and well-being.
I guess what I'm most curious about is whether y'all think this piece is effective at ridiculing the present debates. I like it, love it even, as it makes the debate excessively visceral. Oftentimes, these debates both emphasize and avoid women's bodies: women's bodies are something different, something fleshly or special, the second sex, but the particulars go unmentioned. This doctrine is mainly problematic because men's health as a consequence becomes something general and expected, whereas women's health is the thing to be accepted or excepted instead of assumed, a problem unsolved, a terrain unexplored. (Forgive me for cursing, but fuck that language.) I think that the linked piece is able to mock that discourse (a discourse used by the white men in her pants) without falling into the trap of exoticizing the body, but I wish that there were a way to... I don't know. Make men's fleshliness or special requirements for health just as apparent while making the case that every person should be addressed? Successfully do away with this idea that reproductive health is particular to women and particularly controversial for women? I guess if we could do the latter, then this entire discussion would be unnecessary. What do you think of the linked material/the debate/your place in it?

lmcd - Wednesday, July 03, 2013 - linkI'd have liked to see drives at the top of the case, with 2 2.5 and 1 3.5 configured for hotswap in addition to the 2.5 bays and 3.5 bays available. Reply
marc1000 - Wednesday, July 03, 2013 - linkyeah, the empty space begs for drive bays, but they would be hard to wire and place.
maybe two 3.5 hot-swap bays below the DVD bays would get the job done - even if a little expensive.
other than this, pretty awesome case! Reply
marc1000 - Wednesday, July 03, 2013 - linkthis is the kind of drive cage i'm talking about: rows of drives in front of the case. just two would be enough (look at first picture of this server case)

lmcd - Wednesday, July 03, 2013 - linkYeah that's kinda what I was thinking, though I thought at the top of the case. Same idea though. Reply
Ammaross - Wednesday, July 03, 2013 - linkThe AzzA Hurrican 2000 has 6 front hot-swap trays. Unfortunately, it wastes about 2 3.5" bays worth to do it.... http://www.targetpc.com/uploads/blog.12.h.jpg Reply
kilkennycat - Wednesday, July 03, 2013 - linkI agree, a cage for 2 stacked HDDS could readily fit the lower left-hand corner (of the plenum view) but the HDDs would definitely need some circulating air to be thermally-happy... there is ZERO airflow within the plenum with the power-supply mounted as pictured. Notice the SSD temperature rise in the graphs - a consequence of no airflow !!! A side-cover fan could be provided, or maybe the following alternate:-
If there is enough air-clearance between the power-supply and the MB mounting-plate the power-supply could potentially be mounted in an inverted configuration and draw its air from the plenum and rear air-holes -- which would create some air-circulation without an extra fan. Holes in the side-panel over the added HDD-cage would enhance this cooling. Reply
Kevin G - Wednesday, July 03, 2013 - linkAgreed. This case is just begging for a front mounted hot swap back plane in that side chamber.
It also would have been nice to see a second PSU mount in the side chamber too for those who like to run multiple PSU's for their multiple GPU setups. I would howver default this area to the internal 2.5" drive cage.
The 3.5" bays at the bottom of the main chamber aren't a bad idea but storage really should all be located in the side chamber. Reply
Sabresiberian - Wednesday, July 03, 2013 - linkSince most large cases fill up their "empty space" with drive cages that I don't use, the "wasted" space in the back is no problem at all for me. Still, I agree, I would like to have seen something like more drive bays in sections that you could pull out if you didn't need or want in there.
And, it's in the back chamber and so not visible. Personally I don't care for the way drive bays look anyway, so that is a very good solution for me. :) Reply
Subyman - Wednesday, July 03, 2013 - linkI wouldn't say this is a case pushing the boundaries. Its more of a case bringing a Case Labs design to a new price bracket. Has Anandtech ever done a Case Labs review? Reply
GoliathPtXs - Wednesday, July 03, 2013 - linki love this case, right when i saw it at computex 2013 i fell for it, but it could be thinner indeed.
hard drives should be in the back, not under a gpu... gpus eat up for themselfs, don't need help from the hdds... they should be in the back compartment with the ssds and the annoying opticals, also, the back compartment should have a exaust fan at least
i'm still waiting for manufacturers start producing REAL gaming cases, with no optical drives... you can download all games nowadays.
i do know this is not a "gaming case" but still... all mid towers are gaming cases... Reply
genghisquan - Wednesday, July 03, 2013 - linkIf the user wants to put in some high-end performance HDD, then they will need to get some airflow. That's why the put them in the front. I still agree with you that they should've put the HDDs in the back, though. If there was a HDD cage in the back, then this case could easily fit 4-5 HDD with at least 4 SSD along with it. With that amount of HDD, though, then they'd definitely have to put an intake fan on the secondary compartment, but I don't think that'd destroy the case. Reply
dpimente - Wednesday, July 03, 2013 - linkThis Case is more of a pure desktop, and not for entry level users either. With that said, there shouldn't even be HDD's. Clearly it's designed with SSD's in mind, thus I feel the 2 x 3.5" HDD bays were merely adding in for the interim. Reply
JDG1980 - Wednesday, July 03, 2013 - linkI understand the importance of using a consistent testbed platform, but I think you do an injustice to direct-airflow cases like the 540 and RV04 by using the ASUS GeForce GTX 560 Ti DCII TOP video card. The problem is that this card has heatsink fins that are perpendicular to the airflow, not parallel - so the air can't go across the length of the heatsink, and cooling performance is substantially reduced. I suspect you would have gotten much better results if you used a card like the ASUS DirectCU GTX660-DC2O-2GD5 (which does have parallel fins) or one of the MSI Twin Frozr models. The Arctic Accelero S1 Plus aftermarket cooler would probably also work very well.
Building a serious PC entails designing an overall *system*, not just throwing a bunch of components together in a box based on whatever Newegg has for sale this week. Reply
genghisquan - Wednesday, July 03, 2013 - linkI'm confused because the GTX 560 Ti DCII TOP has two fans, but the cards that are shown in the assembly picture look like they're are using single blower style fans. LOL. Reply
thesavvymage - Wednesday, July 03, 2013 - linkI believe the ones in the picture are the 580s that they are using for sli Reply
Sabresiberian - Wednesday, July 03, 2013 - linkI wish I had a purpose for a new case, I'd very likely buy one of these. It is innovative and attractive enough that I think Corsair deserves a pat on the back, and what better way to pat a company on the back than spend your money on one of their products. :) Considering the price of many tower cases, I think it's something of a bargain.
Well written and thorough review Dustin, thanks! Reply
Tulatin - Thursday, July 04, 2013 - linkOut of curiosity, how deep is the back chamber from tray to panel? This case has a lot of potential as a little fileserver cube - it just needs some mods to do it. Reply
bobbozzo - Thursday, July 04, 2013 - linkHi, it would be nice to know the total power draw (at the wall is fine) for the 'Full Fat' system.
Thanks for the review! Reply
bobbozzo - Thursday, July 04, 2013 - linkAlso, it would be nice to know, in all case reviews, if the stock fans will work with a PWM motherboard fan controller. Reply
Grok42 - Thursday, July 04, 2013 - linkExcellent case and a great review. The case looks great and I'm I really like the design of separating the components. This case will certainly be in my list of cases to consider with my next build even though I can't imagine what build it would make sense for. I hope to see more cases pushing the design envelope like this one and I will try very hard to purchase such designs when I can.
That said, who will use this case? It isn't a file server as much as the comments here want it to be. The drive bay isn't actively cooled and there aren't enough internal bays for it. It can certainly be a gaming system but it's a bit overkill for that given that 90% of the right bay would be empty.
This case seems perfect for a high end gaming show rig. The two separate bays makes the main bay very clean and gives plenty of room for doing about anything you want. All the extra space in the right bay could be used to hide everything that's needed to trick the visible side out. Unfortunately for me, I'm not into this but it's going to make some very nice rigs. Reply
Grok42 - Thursday, July 04, 2013 - linkFor all those wanting this to be a file server, think about this. This case is obviously for building a high-end show rig probably with water cooling and multiple graphics cards. It makes no sense to also press a $2k-$4k rig like this into menial file server as well. Sure, like Dustin, some of you have space challenges but for most it makes a *lot* more sense to build a separate file server.
Aside from the space it takes up in a room, the "overhead" of building a separate file server is about $400. This gets you a Large Case, PSU, MB and RAM. Some of this extra cost can be recovered because you will need less costly components in your primary machine but if you're like me you won't save anything but your primary machine will be perfect for what it does rather than be a compromise between two major functions.
This machine will serve you well for years longer than you'll keep your main system. I keep everything on my server so when I get a new machine there is no backup to be done, just drop in the new box and tell steam to download the games I'm currently still playing. My kids watch their movies from this box, we watch our movies on our TV, our phones automatically upload pictures and video to it. This is the benefit of having a machine that is always running and dedicated to being stable and working 24/7 for years. Reply
rchris - Thursday, July 04, 2013 - linkThanks for the review. Interesting design, but not for me. You mentioned that you "feel like I'm looking at the next BitFenix Prodigy." Well, I've seen a few peeks at the upcoming Prodigy M and it looks much better than this (although not as versatile with MB sizes). That's the one I hope you can review soon. Reply
Impulses - Thursday, July 04, 2013 - linkI feel like they need to either go larger or smaller, it's current size leaves that side chamber in no man's land... You can't use it as a dual purpose server/enthusiast rig, but you end up with a lot of wasted space for the typical enthusiast rig. Side chamber should only be as wide as the PSU/external bays, shave off a couple inches and simplify the HDD/SSD caddy space. Reply
Twoboxer - Friday, July 05, 2013 - linkShrunk to ITX specs and sans the space for the radiator, the side bay space would be well used and it might make a great single-vidcard gaming case. As is, there are some corner desk applications where the shorter length is an asset too. Reply
adamdz - Friday, July 05, 2013 - linkMy biggest issue is that there are no fans on the right side. It needs at least one 120mm fan there. I like the looks otherwise, but with 4 SSDs and the PS there will be some heat there to be removed.
Also, vertically oriented DVD/BD drives are a pain to use. Reply
atragorn - Friday, July 05, 2013 - linkYou know what all these comments really say ?
"You can please some of the people some of the time all of the people some of the time some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time."
You all want to make this thing into something it clearly is not. Personally i like it, i think im going to build my next water cooling rig in this box. It either works for you or it doesnt. Reply
Margalus - Saturday, July 06, 2013 - linkexactly, this looks like a great case as is. If I was building a rig right now, this would most likely be the case I would choose. Reply
ImSpartacus - Friday, July 05, 2013 - linkI would love to see a microATX version. I love the wideset form factor, but it's just too big right now.
I suppose it's meant to be a tinkerer's case, but I think the Prodigy proved that enthusiasts can tinker with a small case just fine. Reply
Slomo4shO - Saturday, July 06, 2013 - linkThis is essentially a Cooler Master HAF XB placed on its side. Reply
Istrilyin - Monday, July 08, 2013 - linkAbout the empty space: why not have a door/removable panel and some space for the manuals / guarantee papers / driver CDs that you may one day use / plugs and adaptors? I mean after getting a new computer, I usually have a graphics card box full of stuff that is going to sit somewhere on some shelf where I it gets lost... Reply
adamdz - Wednesday, July 10, 2013 - linkThis case is growing on me. Any word if a solid or meshed side panel might be available for it? I don't care much for windows and I'd rather had a meshed side panel with two 140mm fans. Reply
lwatcdr - Wednesday, July 10, 2013 - linkPlease offer a color besides black Reply
Zak - Thursday, July 11, 2013 - linkYou can have any color as long as it's black;) Reply
1Angelreloaded - Saturday, July 13, 2013 - linkThis is interesting, cube cases are and tend to be expensive, like the MM cases, I believe starting the Bob slay is about $150. Bitfenix with the prodigy, seems to have sparked an interest in pre-engineered cases, which is nice especially for their price of $89. I wish we could get a Silverstone Cube case about the size of this to see what they do with the form factor, while these cases are cheap and refined to an extent for modders they are a perfect start. The Achilles heal of this case is that back chamber which could easily be resolved with some added server fans mounted to circulate the air. Reply
infoilrator - Sunday, July 14, 2013 - linkPower supplies are about 3.4 inches tall or wide, depending on your perspective.
80mm is about 3.16 inches.
So on the dull side, front, bottom, or front and bottom 80mm fans would be a workable mod, as would top I think.
Looks like fun, too expensive for me though. My budget, not price, special costs extra.
And any case mounting double radiators front and top does cost. Reply

I too am having this exact issue. I have spent days researching this issue and trying other things, NOTHING!!! Some one please help us!
Are you trying to install to a HDD?...Beacause it shows that root file system (fs) block (2,0) cannot be mounted..It tries to sync data with HDD in memory...
Does the HDD exists?..Are you trying to install in another HDD?..
When kernel panics, it is due to something (an event) it cannot handle...Check your BIOS and HDD set up..
maybe bad iso or try at lower speed mate
After days and days of research and dozens of hours of frusteration and confusion, Problem Solved! Here's what I did...
1) I downloaded Universal-USB-Installer-22.214.171.124 and opened it.
2) Then I selected Backtrack 5 R3 in the Step 1 dropdown menu (under "Backtrack Versions").
3) After Backtrack 5 R3 is selected, check the box next to it that says "Download the .iso (Optional)"
4) When you check the box, a pop-up will appear, which says "Download the Backtrack 5 R3 Download Link? Let the download finish before moving to Step 2?"
6) Select Yes
7) The download will take place, it took me about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
8) After the .iso downloads, Step 2 will automatically fill in.
9) Step 3 - Select your USB flash drive letter
10) Place a check mark in the box next to step 3 to format the drive.
11) I set a persistance of 251 MB in Step 4, however I don't know if that was necessary, but it worked.
12) Click "Create" and wait for the LIVE USB to be created!
This time the USB worked, and I now have BT5!
The magic step here, was to download the Backtrack 5 R3 .iso directly through the USB Installer software. Many other .iso available are corrupted, as we have found out.
I hope this helps, as I completely understand your frusteration! Good Luck and let me know!

GenSozo - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkI want to mount a Mini-ITX system in this beast then tape a pair of hipster glasses on the top. LAN parties here I come. Reply
hero1 - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkThat'll be insane. I have been waiting for this case for so long. Now that it's here, I will consider purchasing it even though I have the XL R2 fitted with Noctua fans and H100i and runs cold. This will be a perfect purchase with a couple of Titans, hydrocopper versions that is. Drool! Reply
Blibbax - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkWasted on <4 watercooled cards. Stick with your XL. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkThe XLR2 doesn't have room for anything larger than a 280mm rad; that's tight for cooling SLI/xFire cards if you also have the CPU in the loop.
Also even if you're not filling them to the max, extra large cases are easier to work on because you've got a lot of extra space to fit your hands into and more freedom in how you place components as a result. If you're on a budget and trying to maximize bang for the buck an oversized case is an easy first thing to cut but they do make building/upgrading much easier.
As long as you've got the height and upper body strength to handle the size/weight anyway. :) Reply
hero1 - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkThe XL R2 is very tight case. I figure that I could have a 280mm rad for the front but this means I have to get rid of my H100i and add another 280mm rad up top in order to cool SLI/XF with CPU in the loop. It's doable and I will consider it but the space does indeed become very tight. I think I can have the back and bottom fans as intake and exhaust through the top and front.
Can handle that weight easily but someone below mentioned the case labs products. I have been looking at what they have to offer and go from there. The only thing that Corsair has them beat is the aesthetics with regards to how the case is assembled. Reply

spikey27 - Tuesday, August 26, 2014 - linkDan, you've hit on one of my pet peeves - it's no fun working in a case without enough space to use your hands. It so much nicer to be working in a spacious case.
I'm in the process of going from a Codegen S-101 to the 900D, and looking forward to it. Reply
IDUEHE - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkWonderful..... Source:unn.edu.ng University of Nigeria Reply
hero1 - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkThis is an awesome case that will serve us better, those who are willing to go all out on watercooling, custom that is. I hope that they make something like it that fits right between the 650D and 800D with the same cooling capabilities minus a couple of 5.25 drive bays. Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkAt this price all the external USB ports should be USB3 to futureproof it. Since most current mobos only have 1 or 2 USB3 headers, include a pair of USB3 to USB2 header adapters so the ports can be fully utilized now. Reply
Subyman - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkI have a 800D and would not purchase something like this again. I really like the case, very well built, and so forth but with boutique manufacturers like Case Labs making thick, aluminum cases that weigh half as much with ridiculous customization, it seems a serious watercooling enthusiast has better choices out there. The 900D looks great and well built, but steel at $349 + 41lbs dry is rough. Believe me, a fully loaded 800D was is ***** to move! No wheel option is a little disappointing as well with something this large. Reply
hero1 - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkThis. I had absolutely forgotten about Case Labs as of late. And you do have a good point here and I think most people ought to know that they can have better cases for similar price or slightly more. Reply
Blindsay04 - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkCase labs makes some quality stuff but their pricing is a lot more. SMH10 is $500 and that is probably the closest to the 900D Reply
pensive69 - Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - linksee? Subyman picked up on the need for wheels...
and the case didn't seem to have what i might term
non slip handholds either.
that's where my insurance kicks in.
good god Reply
DanNeely - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkit would require changing the appearance slightly; but to make installing cards easier I'd suggest putting holes in the frame at the proper screw location and extending the side panel to cover them. It worked well in one of the more plebeian cases I've used.
I've had trouble with hinged toolless latching mechanisms not being compatible with dual slot GPUs before and am leery about suggesting them for something like this; although with a watercooled card the obstruction might not be an issue. Reply
minijedimaster - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkSo they basically just took a Fractal Design XL R2 and modified it, slapped their name on it and called it a day.

santiagoanders - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkThe interior is much more similar to the CoolerMaster Cosmos II Reply
JFord047 - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkWhich is basically Just an Antec Performance case re-jigged Reply
Sabresiberian - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkNot sure why someone would question the "need" for this over the 800D. It's pretty simple:
800D - 7 Expansion slots
900D - 10 Expansion slots
The 900D will simply hold a much larger mainboard. The 800D might well be crowding a third graphics card, and a fourth one would be out of the question. Reply
Aikouka - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkI already own an 800D, and it's nice to see that they addressed the cable routing shortcomings in that case. It annoys me that I spent $300 on that case to see the side panel bow out because I'm routing a fairly common number of cables behind the case. While the side panel bowing doesn't really hamper you, I have found another issue with it that makes me reconsider ever buying another Corsair case. The other issue is that the 800D is limited in regard to the radiator sizes that it supports. Why is it that Corsair designed the 800D, their previous flagship case, to only support up to a 240mm radiator? If I had to guess, it's probably because Corsair was only selling a 240mm solution at this point (their H100 all-in-one). However, a few months ago, Corsair released a 280mm all-in-one solution called the H110i, which isn't even supported by the 800D! Reply
dylan522p - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkThe 900D has probably the most space on the side pannel for cable management I have seen in a case. The 900D also supports a stupid amount of rad support. Reply
garadante - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkRemember, the 800D is three and a half years old. I don't think closed loop dual fan radiators were even available, let alone 4-way SLI/crossfire being as comparatively mainstream as it is nowadays. Reply
santiagoanders - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkWhy no comparison to the Cosmos II? Similar layouts and price. Reply
praktik - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkActually I think biggest competition for this would be the silverstone TJ11 - offers a 4x140 rad option in bottom if you take out the cages... also goes for 200 more....
...and yes I am a deliriously happy owner of a TJ11, my case for a decade - will go liquid cooling in a few years but right now just happy to have the air cooling equivalent of an FT02 to tide me over.. Reply
Sabresiberian - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkWhat do you mean "Why no comparison?"
The article isn't lacking anything just because it didn't include data about your favorite case. Reply
santiagoanders - Thursday, April 18, 2013 - linkBecause hardware articles always benchmark against the other products in the same market segment. WTF are you talking about? Reply
scook9 - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkI like this case. Not enough to replace the 700D I got for $100 (including side window panel) but I like it. Having water cooled in the 700D I appreciate the changes. The 700D/800D really only has 2 good places for a radiator - a 360mm up top and a 120/140mm on the back. While this is a lot of cooling capacity (both can be double thick rads) the 900D obviously blows this out of the water and takes it to a whole other level.
More exciting and likely to penetrate the market is the 350D that is coming out that is pretty much a mATX design using the same design ideas but being around $120. I hope that AT can do a review when that comes out and compare it to the all time favorite mATX case - the Antec Mini P180 Reply
noeldillabough - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkWhile this case rocks, it still doesn't hold a candle to my current favorite case, the TJ11. One of the problems with watercooling is that the board doesn't get any cooling and this case with its 2 giant (quiet) fans handles it with ease. Add to that a full size rad/pump/power supply fits in the bottom and I'm sold!
Water cooling seems to be on its way out but cases like these make me think its only getting started! Reply
OVerLoRDI - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkThis case truly is for the water cooling enthusiasts. (I am one of them). If this had been around last summer I would have snatched it without a second thought.
It makes me regret my Caselabs M8 purchase. Reply
Biggestinsect - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkNever regret a CaseLabs purchase. Reply
Jorgisven - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkSpam on a forum board has a special place in hell reserved for it. Reply
idimitro - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkI am still wiping my saliva after reading the article, but the price helped me to sober up. The case is nice but too expensive. I have Xigmatek Elysium and It can also fit comparable amount of radiators, but only for ~150$. The build quality is for sure worse, and yes you might need to do some modding and tweaking, but where is the fun in just putting the radiators in a box if you don't get your hands dirty :)
I think Anand should review the Xigmatek as it is a good case but surprisingly unpopular. Reply
Objective - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkSo this is basically the overpriced cheap and rattly Chinese knock off of Caselabs Cases.
Pass.. Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkJust out of curiosity, what about this case is cheap or rattly? It was probably manufactured in China (or more likely Taiwan), but the design is American. Reply
Biggestinsect - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkDesign wise the 900 is nothing like anything made by Caselabs. The SMH10 has similar dimensions and that's about it. Completely different internals. Reply
JFord047 - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkA Good review, however basically the same as what was described in Corsairs Video, expanded slightly and an opinion.
Still does not answer the Questions I have though! Being one of the now getting Fossilised generation, cases have come a long way, as has the cooling technology. but here in the UK unless your a really rich person, or old enough to have the family moved out, space is at a premium. So the computer will have to share the Bedroom or the living Area, making it a Very large noisy lump.
I do like the case! I love the space to work, and the variable structure internally, however How much more space is it going to take up compared with the 800D its pegged to replace?
I already had to modify the desk for the 800D, and only have 2.5" left to play with, I assume here that I am slightly Ferked.
I have plans for 12 Drive bays "8 old Archive Drives" 24 years of acquired computer software & Data crud. But I want to Liquid cool it to reduce the noise. I am interested in how that's going to go lol.
The main gripe with the 800D was in fact the lack of Space, the liquid cooled X58 UD7 board gave the possibility of 10 drives, the case at a push took 7 + 1 DVD Writer, the 3 EVGA GTX 580 Hydro Coppers 's on a Separate loop meant that the pipe work was Horrific to do anything with after! The 900D appears to address these problems!
I have to do more research into this, but it would one first glance appear that the 900D is only 1.5 800D's welded together, and put on a Big Mac diet for the width, (something I was planning to do before the 900D was announced)
One of the best cases I ever tripped across for space was the coolmaster Cosmos, but it was just too Big - and LOUD, even liquid cooled! this would appear to be the same case, with a rear space for cable routing.
So it's really nothing new, just an amalgamation of loads of past cases, built as a Single, All the Mods Done for you.... What I really need is the Manual!!!! Reply
JFord047 - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkAs an Afterthought.... the BIGGEST REASON! for a case with a lot of space for me, is the fact that I only have 1 working Arm!
It adds an extra Twist to building a computer - hence I only build 1 every 4 years.
After measuring I have to buy 4 copies of Clive Cusslers's The Navigator as well as the case, they are the right size to raise the desk up high enough to get it underneath.
At the moment it only takes 2 copies of Mrs Beaton's Household management for the 800D :). Reply
cjs150 - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkThis is simply a bigger, less cute version of the legendary TJ07 case. Looks to have better cable management and I like the way the HD cages work but that is about it. Also looks to suffer from same problem as TJ07 namely limited airflow to motherboard, from experience that is a quick way to fry the RAM!
With a 480 radiator you can cool 3 graphics cards. Then the 240 radiator could cool the CPU and (possibly RAM) leaving another Radiator up top to cool the motherboard chips. Totally insane but fun. Reply
Denithor - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - link*Scratches head.
In an era when CPU makers are pushing TDP lower and lower, they bring out this behemoth of a case aimed at supreme cooling? What are they thinking? I just don't get it. Reply
Sabresiberian - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkwut? Reply
Juddog - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkWoah that case is a monster! Reply
Belard - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkThought it was big? A few years ago, I built a PC with the Thermaltake Mozart TX. That case is easily bigger than this. The TX is almost all aluminum and very light. It even has mounting for a second motherboard (itx), tons of drive bays, off top of my head, 8 120mm cooling fan spots.
It's a beautiful case, it's too bad they no longer make them. An update with USB 3.0 would be nice. It sold for about $250. Google images for the case. Reply
Juddog - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkI'm thinking Corsair probably added some steel because of complaints with various parts of the 800D having durability issues. Reply
KLC - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - link"It superficially looks and is built like an overgrown ATX case..." No, it superficially looks like a CRT console TV from 1975. Reply
wolrah - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkAm I the only one who yearns for the days when case windows were an optional extra or something people had to hack in to their case? These days it's challenging to find a large case without one. I do not want to spend hours doing Voodoo-style origami with my server's cables, please don't force me to put them on display. Reply
Sabresiberian - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkThere are many cases that don't have a side window. I suggest you buy one of those instead of one that is designed for people who like side windows.
I found 6 on newegg in about 2 minutes that will hold huge motherboards and have 10 or more expansion slot capability.
So, no it's not hard at all to find a good case without a side window. Reply
wolrah - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkFinding a case that meets those criteria is different from one that looks good and is good to work with. I assumed I didn't have to be that specific, but for purposes of clarity I have not been able to find any good looking (read: simple) large cases with good build quality and reasonable interior designs that lack windows. There are numerous cases like this one, excellent on all factors except that stupid piece of plexiglass.
Looking on Newegg right now, since that's your example, I see what I assume to be the same six cases you found. The Thor, CM Storm, and Fusion are all chunky, fugly "LAN G4m3r" styled machines which look like they fell out of a [H]ard|OCP mod thread. All of those are really pushing the definition of "no window" as while it's technically not a clear window the massive open screen on the side has basically the same effect.
That leaves two Lian-Lis. They're excellent but incredibly expensive and have always pretty much been in a league of their own.
So yea, unless I want to pay out the nose for the best of the best, it is in fact rather hard to find a large case without this stupid computer ricer shit. Reply
Biggestinsect - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkAll Caselabs enclosures give multiple options for side panel design; solid, vented and different windows. They have a couple cases in this price range. Sleeving wires and artfully plumbing the cooling is a lot of the fun of building plus having a window lets you quickly know when and if the thing gets dirty or starts leaking. Reply
Sabresiberian - Thursday, April 18, 2013 - linkI get that you aren't finding what you want, but I still think you vastly overstated the situation, and tried to make out like Corsair did something wrong here. They didn't; they just targeted people with a certain taste in cases, and you weren't in that group. And, there is plenty of room to route cables behind the mainboard tray, so griping about needing to spend extra hours routing cables really doesn't make sense. (If you are watercooling, you are likely to spend far more time routing cooling tubes, heh.)
The cases we found on newegg are all decent cases; it's really just a matter of personal taste in appearance and what price you are willing to pay. And, the Lian Li cases are about the price of this one, so I don't know how you can complain that this case comes with a side window but those are "incredibly expensive" so not suitable for you. If they aren't suitable because of price, the side window is a moot point, because this case is too expensive as well.
I'm not trying to pick on you here, I'm trying to get you to see that the case scenario isn't as bleak as you think it is. :) Hey, at least we don't have to put up with one brand or the other of a beige box with no real ability to cool components, heh. Cases have come a long way!
Really, I think the solution would be to provide optional side panels, but I don't know how feasible that is since not all that many people are going to buy a case like this anyway. I have no use for a side window myself - but I do like side fans, and that's one reason I went with an Enermax Fulmo GT. That case won't help you though since you can still see through the fans, and that's not what you want. (Newegg doesn't carry the Fulmo GT anymore, says it's discontinued, but I still see them on Amazon.) And, it's a steel and plastic case, so if aluminum is your thing that won't suit you either.
CaseLabs is an option that people have mentioned - but it looks to me like you'll end up paying more for one of their cases than the ~$350 this one costs, so don't know how that's going to work for most people. I paid $210 for the Fulmo GT, that was plenty for my tastes. I'd be willing to spend more - but I have no need to, so there's no point.
I just has a thought - could you buy a 900D and simply put it so the window doesn't show? Reply
kzinti1 - Friday, June 14, 2013 - linkIf you're so against looking at the innards of your case because of a window, why not just go to your local hobby shop, ask for a spray can of black paint for radio-controlled car bodies and paint the inside of the window? I guarantee a perfect opaque finish every single time.
If you want a removable finish then go to your local car supply and ask for a roll of black-out limousine window tint and stick it on the inside of the computers window. Another simple way to ignore your lousy computer wiring job and also your trouble-shooting led's.
The window tint would be best as it's easily removed when you sell your case, since with your inattention to detail when assembling your computer, you'll probably fry your components sooner than later. Reply
Ubercake - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkLooks a little smaller than my Thermaltake Spedo. I do like it though.
Even without water, it's really easy to work in a case this large. Reply
Ubercake - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkIt's actually bigger front to back, but not as tall. Reply
Ubercake - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkDimensions are actually bigger all the way around on the 900D. It just doesn't look that way. The spedo has 2 rear 120s. I wish more newer cases had these. Reply
truprecht - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkThat's not a computer case, that's furniture. Reply
nleksan - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkI have been water cooling for a long time, and I have owned a lot of "water cooling cases", some of which were good, a few of which are truly great, but the majority of which are frankly terrible for one reason or another. This is a very niche market and it is one that demands perfection at such a price point as the 900D is attempting to compete, but the sad fact is that most people are going to buy this case simply because it has the (frankly worthless) Corsair name attached to it.
I have two fully liquid cooled builds right now, the first is in a Switch 810, without doubt the most capable water cooling case anywhere near it's price range, with as much radiator space, if not more, than the nearly 2.5x pricier 800D.
The other build is at the opposite end of the price spectrum, sitting in a custom made fully equipped Case Labs TH10 (XL Pedestal, 120mm Extension up top, etc) with 4x 560 + 1x 420 + 2x 360 radiators all cooling the system. It makes the monolithic 800D look like a SFF case in comparison, and the build quality is simply so far ahead as to be indescribable.
Which brings me to the point... Case Labs now offers the SM5 and SM8 cases at the same or lower prices than the 900D, but with nearly limitless customizability, build quality that is unrivaled, and small touches absent on anything from the company that Corsair has become.
I simply don't see why this case would sell, it's as much a dinosaur as it's circa 2008 brother... Reply
Biggestinsect - Wednesday, April 17, 2013 - linkConfounds me how most tech sites get all revved up about this case but seem to be unaware of any of CaseLabs' offerings. Corsair and especially higher end stuff from Lian Li and Silverstone have nothing near the build quality at any price point. Reply
cjs150 - Friday, April 19, 2013 - linkI love my TJ07 but totally agree about the build quality. Holes not perfectly aligned, lack of cable management etc. Case labs looks a lot better (also like mountain mods) on biold quality Reply
hyperdoggy - Thursday, April 18, 2013 - linkOh wow, the window is flushed with the side panel, that is awesome! normally case windows looks like someone broke the window on the side panel and they ghetto attach some acrylic on till they can afford to fix it, fine for a sub $100 case, big no no on a $200+ case.

duervo - Tuesday, June 28, 2016 - linkThis is one of the very, very few cases that can fit an HTPX motherboard inside. I got one to put my EVGA Classified SR-2 motherboard in, because I wanted something with smaller floor footprint than the MountainMods case that I was using. Yeah, it's a 5 year old motherboard at this point, which is old (much like this review to which I'm responding,) but it still runs over 20 VMs on it, with 48GB RAM, dual Westmere Xeons, LSI 9260-8i, 6 HDDs, and 2 SSDs.

Australian aborigines came from India, according to a report in ScienceDaily, 23 July 2009. Raghavendra Rao and colleagues involved in the Anthropological Survey of India project have analysed 966 complete mitochondrial DNA sequences from members of India's "relic tribes" and found central Dravidian and Austro-Asiatic tribes shared genetic traits otherwise only found in Australian aborigines. Rao explained: "Mitochondrial DNA is inherited only from the mother and so allows us to accurately trace ancestry. We found certain mutations in the DNA sequences of the Indian tribes we sampled that are specific to Australian Aborigines. This shared ancestry suggests that the Aborigine population migrated to Australia via the so-called "Southern Route". The "Southern Route" refers to a theory that humans arrived in Asia by "movement of a group of hunter-gatherers from the Horn of Africa, across the mouth of the Red Sea into Arabia and southern Asia at least 50 thousand years ago. Subsequently, the modern human populations expanded rapidly along the coastlines of southern Asia, southeastern Asia and Indonesia to arrive in Australia at least 45 thousand years ago."
Editorial Comment: We are not surprised by these findings. Creation Research said that Aborigines migrated to Australia via India over a decade ago in our documentary The Origin of the Races. These findings fit with language studies that reveal some common words in Aboriginal language and tribal languages from the Indian subcontinent. Aborigines did not evolve in Australia. Like all human races they are descendants of the people who were scattered at the Tower of Babel. Therefore, the "Southern Route" story is probably partly true. The ancestors of the Aborigines could have migrated to India via Arabia, having moved south from Babel in Mesopotamia, and then moved along the coastlines of southern Asia and eventually spreading through the islands of South East Asia to northern Australia. This probably happened during the time when the sea levels were lower and some land masses were joined and islands were not so far apart. The presence of boomerangs and dingos in India is just further evidence for this, as is the fact that one Northern Territory aboriginal group call their killer boomerang Kali – the name of the Indian goddess of death.

Forgot I took these pix with my phone. I ended my trip to Austin with a couple of Green Chile Pulled Pork Tacos from the Salt Lick Taco Bar in the airport. These were great, and the pulled pork had a great smoke ring and flavor.
They were topped with a green chile sauce, some cabbage, Salt Lick Spicy Recipe BBQ Sauce, and shredded cheese.
Definitely worth checking out if you are ever waiting for a flight in Austin. The price isn't bad either considering it's in an airport.

Evolution Hoax
As with the other prophets, Hazrat Mahdi (as) will have a long and trouble-filled life. There will be a time of occultation, and this period, when Hazrat Mahdi (as) is not recognized will be long, and the fact that his appearance takes longer than some people imagine will cause the hearts of some people weak in faith to harden. For that reason, the number of believers in Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be as low as 313. These will be people in whose hearts Allah has specially written, very honest people.
Abu Bashir says: Imam Abu Abdullah said: "There WILL BE VERY FEW PEOPLE from among the Arabs alongside the Qaim [Hazrat Mahdi (as)]."...
He said: "The people will be cleansed. They will be cleansed and passed through a sieve. Many a people will be sieved." (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 239)
Fazl ibn Shadhan; Abdullah ibn Sinan relates that Imam Jaffar Sadik said:
"Those who disappeared from their beds (homes) are three hundred thirteen people. They will number as many as the people of Badr (the Muslims who fought in the Battle of Badr)... They are the companions of the Qaim Mahdi."
Their numbers will be those of the people of Badr (313). In the same way that those before them cannot pass beyond them, neither those who come after can reach them. Their number is as many as those who crossed the river with Saul. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-Zaman, p. 57)
They consist of a group, including women, of 314 people. They will overcome all tyrants. Their hearts are like iron, and they are lions by day and devout believers by night. Neither those before nor after them can match them in self-sacrifice. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir al-Zaman, pp. 57-58)
These 313 are devout believers by night and heroes by day. (Al-Barzanji, Al-Isha'ah li-ashrat al-sa'ah, p. 169)
Hazrat Ali (ra) says: "... ALLAH WILL PROTECT HAZRAT MAHDI'S (AS) FOLLOWERS, HE WILL ASSIST THEM WITH SIGNS AND PORTENTS and WILL GIVE THEM TOTAL VICTORY OVER EVERYONE ON EARTH. Willingly or unwillingly, people will thus enter the true faith. HE [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] WILL FILL THE EARTH WITH JUSTICE, LIGHT AND CLEAR PROOF. All countries will obey him and bow their heads to him. So much so that all the unbelievers will believe and all the wicked will be sincere servants (wicked people will find salvation and be sincere Muslims.)" (Al-Hurr al-Amili, Ithbat al-Hudat, Vol. 7, p. 49)
Numani: Sulayman ibn Harun al-Ijli narrates: I heard Imam Hussain say: "THE LORD OF THIS COMMAND [IMAM MAHDI (AS)] HAS A PROTECTED COMMUNITY. Even if all the people abandon him, Allah will send these companions to to him: These are the ones described in a verse.
"They are the ones to whom We gave the Book, Judgment and Prophethood. If these people reject it We have already entrusted it to a people who did not." (Surat al-An'am, 89)
And He also says of them: "You who believe! If any of you renounce your religion, Allah will bring forward a people whom He loves and who love Him, humble to the believers, fierce to the unbelievers, who strive in the Way of Allah and do not fear the blame of any censurer. That is the unbounded favor of Allah which He gives to whoever He wills. Allah is Boundless, All-Knowing." (Surat al-Ma'ida, 54)
From Hassan ibn Salih al-Bazzaz: Hassan ibn Ali Askari (as) said: "THE TRUTH IS THAT MY SON IS THE QAIM [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] AFTERWARD. THE SUNNAH OF THE PROPHETS WILL BE UPON HIM [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] IN HIS LONG LIFE AND OCCULTATION. SOME HEARTS WILL GROW AS HARD AS STONE AND SAY THAT THIS PERIOD HAS GONE ON TOO LONG. APART FROM THOSE IN WHOSE HEARTS ALLAH INSCRIBES FAITH AND SUPPORTS WITH HIS MERCY THERE WILL BE NO ONE WHO BELIEVES IN HIM [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)]." (Sheikh al-Saduq, Kamal al-Din, p. 526 and Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 51, p. 224)
Imam Muhammad Bakr and Imam Jaffar Sadik said this about Hazrat Mahdi's (as) followers: "They will take over the east and west. EACH WILL BE AS POWERFUL AS FORTY PEOPLE. THEIR HEARTS ARE LIKE IRON. SO MUCH SO THAT THE WORDS 'THERE IS NO DEITY BUT ALLAH AND MUHAMMAD IS HIS PROPHET' WILL BE ECHOED AND HEARD EVERYWHERE." (Bihar al-Anwar, Vol. 52, p. 340)
Abdullah ibn Abu Yâfûr says, I heard Imam Abu Abdullah Jaffar Sadik say:
"Shame on the rebellion of the Arabs because of the approaching corruption." I ASKED: "...HOW MANY PEOPLE FROM AMONG THE ARABS WILL BE WITH THE QAIM [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)]?" "VERY FEW" he said. I then asked: "I swear to Allah that there are many people who claim they will help Hazrat Mahdi (as)." He said: "The people will be purged. They will be cleansed and passed through a sieve. Many people will not pass through the sieve." (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, pp. 239-240)
Abu Bashir says: Imam Muhammad Bakr said: "... THEY WILL BE CLEANSED AND WEEDED OUT, SO THAT A COMMUNITY REMAINS THAT CORRUPTION WITHIN THEM CAN NEVER HARM." (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 245)
"... So that no more than KOHL ON THE EYE OR SALT IN FOOD WILL REMAIN from you. And I shall give you an example: A man has a quantity of wheat. He cleans it and stores it in his house. When he returns to it a long time later, he sees it is full of weevils. He cleans it again and again puts it in his home. When he comes back to it after another long time, he sees it is again infested with weevils. He repeats the same processes. WHAT EVENTUALLY REMAINS IS A VERY LITTLE HEALTHY WHEAT THAT WEEVILS CANNOT HARM. You are like that. AT THE END, A SMALL GROUP OF YOU WILL BE LEFT THAT CORRUPTION CAN NEVER HARM." (Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Said also transmits the same hadith.) (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 245)
Mihzam ibn Abu Burda al-Asadi and others relate that Imam Jaffar Sadik said: 'I swear to Allah that you will be shattered like glass is broken and shattered. When glass is broken it can be restored to its original form. But you will be shattered like a pitcher. And I swear to Allah that you will be so cleansed THAT VERY FEW OF YOU REMAIN. '(Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 242)
Safwan ibn Yahya says: Imam Reza said: "I swear to Allah that the Qaim you have been so awaiting will not appear (HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL NOT COME) until you have been cleansed. SUCH THAT VERY FEW OF YOU WILL REMAIN BEHIND." (Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, Al-Ghaybah al-Numani, p. 243)
So when Our command came, and water bubbled up from the earth, We said, 'Load into it a pair of every species, and your family – except for those against whom the Word was preordained – and all who believe.' But those who believed with him were only few. (Surah Hud, 40)
These people are a small group. (Surat ash-'Shuara', 54)
No one believed in Moses except for a few of his people out of fear that Pharaoh, and the elders, would persecute them. Pharaoh was high and mighty in the land. He was one of the profligate. (Surah Yunus, 83)
When Saul marched out with the army, he said, 'Allah will test you with a river. Anyone who drinks from it is not with me. But anyone who does not taste it is with me – except for him who merely scoops up a little in his hand.' But they drank from it – except for a few of them. Then when he and those who had iman with him had crossed it, they said, 'We do not have the strength to face Goliath and his troops today.' But those who were sure that they were going to meet Allah said, 'How many a small force has triumphed over a much greater one by Allah's permission! Allah is with the steadfast. (Surat al-Baqara, 249)

National design competition to aid disaster Relief Fund
Contact: Tracy Cox, Communications Director
877-739-3895, Ext. 116
National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC)
ENOLA, Pa. ‑ Earlier this month, tornadoes ripped through Texas. Since April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) wants to remind everyone that sexual violence increases in disaster-stricken areas. To aid efforts in disaster-stricken areas, NSVRC is launching Cards That Care, a special design competition to support
The Relief Fund for Sexual Assault Victims.
The loss of housing, employment and resources that accompany a natural disaster creates environments where criminal activity, such as sexual violence, increases. In response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, The Relief Fund for Sexual Assault Victims was established to aid sexual assault victims and advocacy programs impacted by disasters across the United States.
This month, to help support these efforts, NSVRC is hosting an online design competition inviting people to create Cards That Care. Winning designs that convey The Relief Fund's message, "Lend a hand, heal a heart," will be transformed into note cards, and 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the cards will support sexual assault victims and services impacted by disasters. The release of the note cards will coincide with the start of the Atlantic hurricane season on June 1.
"Learning from previous disasters, we know that during those times people are more vulnerable to sexual violence," says NSVRC Director Karen Baker. "With this design project, we're not only bringing awareness to this fact, but we're engaging online communities and urging them to use their creativity to make a difference. Cards That Care is an interactive way to support The Relief Fund during Sexual Assault Awareness Month."
Design entries should be emailed to email@example.com by April 30. For more information and official rules, visit www.nsvrc.org/projects/relief-fund-design-contest. The competition will be promoted via social media, including Twitter using #ReliefFund.
Founded by the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape in 2000, NSVRC identifies, develops and disseminates resources regarding all aspects of sexual violence prevention and intervention.

A YOUNG Pershore man will be flying thousands of miles to help tackle the problem of water shortage in Bolivia.
Joe Fowles, who is from Pershore and a former King's Worcester pupil, has travelled to continents around the world to lend a hand, previously teaching English in India and working as a conservationist in South Africa.
But before he can embark on his latest trip to South America he needs to raise £750 to fund the materials, in-country transport, and training of Mano a Mano staff members out in Bolivia as he works to help the draught stricken country.
The 20-year-old said: "Having travelled briefly in Africa and Asia during my year out, I was incredibly keen to go to South America over the summer to see both its dazzling array of natural wonders, and its numerous cultural treasures.
"After experiencing some of the most abject poverty in the world whilst in India, I also wanted to make a contribution towards improving the lives of those far less fortunate than myself, and therefore wanted to combine my travel with a volunteer project."
Mr Fowles will be working with Oxford Development Abroad, a student-run international development charity at Oxford University, where he studies.
He will head to Bolivia, which has very long dry spells pushing much of the population to move away from the high altitude communities to shanty towns on the edge of large cities, putting pressure on the few public services that exist there.
"In order for the projects to take place, our volunteer team must raise close to £8,000. None of the money we raise will contribute towards our own travel costs, which we are self-funding. My personal challenge is to raise £750 by the end of May."
To help Mr Fowles visit virginmoneygiving.com/joefowlesbolivia. He is also holding a murder mystery night on Saturday, April 19, from 7.30pm at Pershore Sports Club. For tickets call 07843368383 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

thanks for the help.
Errr...why do that? Just pull content from the DB depending on the URL the user supplies...
$pageID = $_GET['pageid'];
# get page content from DB.
You only need one file that way.
I had it working that way but i'm using many APIs such as facebook send button which doesnt accept page parameters, eg if u got a page called getarticles.php?ID=5 it will ignore everything after the '?', making it useless...
You can't do this with Post?
I mean, what you ask certainly is possible, it's just generally probably not a good idea if it can be avoided through any other means.
I know its horrible (facebook's fault) but i dont have any other solution to do that..get is not a solution because they dont accept page parameterspost is not a solution either because then all articles will be under 1 page that will have the same name always, like articles.php ... (correct me if im wrong?)
You can still send post parameters to that assuming at any point you're submitting a form, you could always make your form action submit to itself and the form submission be an <a> link.
that will still not make my API work as the send button (for example) accepts a link only, so it will still get articles.php and have no clue to which article to point.
Look into URL rewriting.
hey,i read this article: http://www.cyberdesignz.com/blog/website-design/url-rewriting-top-5-ways-of-php-url-rewriting/But i don't excactly know what apache is, and how to work with it on my hosting..?
dont think that my hosting has apache....not listed on phpinfo() at least...
I think ill have to stick with my suggestion of creating pages, whats the negetivites it has besides of webspace wasting?
and can some1 guide me on the best way to do that ? thanks..
You're probably running Apache. If you aren't, you're likely running nginx. If you are running anything else, I recommend changing hosts. =p
Both of those are web servers, which are what make it possible for your pages to be a website. It runs under PHP.
With Apache, you just create a file named .htaccess and put it in the root of your site. With nginx, you have to put it somewhere a little different, but it's still pretty similar.
I'll ask my hosting what i got, i dont see either of these when running phpinfo() function...
To answer your original question (even though getting the urls to work is probably better), do the same thing you would to generate an html page. Have a template with something like:
// some_demo.php.tremplate
// Here is a php function that will end up in my generated php file
function some_demo()
$a = "<?php echo $aPassed; ?>";
echo $a;
And then use a basic template processing approach:
// Here I am with my generator
// Want to pass this to the generated file
$aPassed = 'some demo info';
// Pull in the template
include 'demo.php.template';
$body = ob_end_clean();
// And store it with a php tag
" . $body);
This is also handy for generating caches file of one sort or another.
Well i checked with my hosting and they said they do have url rewritting with a .htaccess fileWhen i tested something like this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^test\\.html$ test.php [L]
It worked
But when i'm trying something like the following (taken from an example) it doesn't work..:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)$ getpets.php?id=$1 [L]
What i wanna do is something like, changing getpets.php?id=11111 to example.com/pets/11111
Can someone give me the correct code to do such a thing?
You want something like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^pets/([0-9]+)/?$ getpets.php?id=$1 [L]
thank you so much it works
And thanks everyone for the suggestions & help

California Modified Assessment (CMA) Pilot Test
In April 2007, the United States Department of Education enacted regulations for an alternate assessment based on modified achievement standards. The California Department of Education, in response to the federal regulations, developed and implemented the California Modified Assessment (CMA) as an alternate assessment of the California content standards based on modified achievement standards for children with disabilities who have an individualized education program (IEP).
The use of Smarter Balanced Assessments for English-language arts and mathematics with the appropriate universal tools, designated supports, and/or accommodations replaces the CMA tests for those subjects.
CMA for Science will continue (as part of the implementation of AB 484) to be administered to students with disabilities in grades five, eight, and ten who have an IEP that identifies the use of the CMA for Science until a successor science test is developed.
CMA Blueprints
Provides information on the CMA for English-Language Arts in grades three through eleven, CMA for Mathematics in grades three through seven, CMA for Algebra I, CMA for Geometry, CMA for Science in grades five and eight, and CMA for Life Science in grade ten.
CMA Reference Sheets
Samples of the science reference sheets for the CMA for Science in grade five that are found in the test booklets.
