Mod part info

Post by oukie »

Hi peeps

Need some advice and info on some parts.

What exactly is a UV IDE cable? How does it work and what does it do (except for connecting your hdd to your mobo-obviously)

Is the Liquidsilver ATX 500 watt psu good?
Case fans... side panel preferred intake or exhaust? and preferably how many fans on side panel?

What exactly is a CCFL light? ANy spesific usage?

Removable hdd rack ... good or bad to use??

1st: UV IDE Cable.

UV would probably mean that it reacts to UV Light, like that from a CCFL (Cold Cathode Flourescent Light)

2nd: CCFL

As said above, CCFL stands for Cold Cathode Flourescent Light. The reason it is called "Cold Cathode, is because it doesn't generate a lot of heat, and doesn't affect case temps.

Hope I helped.
