Hi Lamp, I just ordered the NP8150 from XoticPC (just entered Phase 2 yesterday) with specs similar to yours except I got the Intel 320 80GB and I also have the Cryo LX. Thanks to your review, I am getting all pumped up to receive my system! Can't wait!
 Edit: By the way, could you please point me the direction of the instructions for modding your Cryo LX? I am interested in cleaning out the fans in mine and probably mod in some new fans as well.  This post has been edited by Kk17nD: Jul 7 2011, 10:29 PM |

No worries, Lamp! I can't wait to receive my system! The wait is killing me though. Oh the number of games I wanna play on this system.... =/
Thank you for pointing me to the right site, I've seen this post before, but I was hoping that you'd have a more detailed instruction but I guess this is better than nothing. |

QUOTE(This is a Lamp @ Jul 11 2011, 06:21 PM) Well, it's not difficult haha. I think I got the adapter, will have to go home to check the voltage again. All in all, good tips, will copy and paste to Word. There's just a number of screws that you need to track down and dismantle. Two things that you need to be wary of; not pulling off the cable that connects the fans to the controller (I mean violently ), and the right airflow when placing the fans. Once placing the fans, check if the airflow is pushing cold air upwards...you can try checking this by placing an A4 paper on top of the grill mesh then see if it flies away, or hovers on the mesh.All in all, it's actually a really easy mod and looks great after. Oh, ONE VERY IMPORTANT THING. You need a 12V DC adapter from NZXT to power desktop fans at full speed. If your packaging doesn't include it (it didn't come with mine), you can order a replacement DC adapter from NZXT for free!  @TruthHurts As for 17" vs 15", the only thing that matters is the screen resolution, the screen size doesn't matter. For example, a 1024x768 on a 17" screen will run better than 1920x1080 on a 15" screen, provided all the computer's specs and the program that you are running are the same in both systems. |

QUOTE(This is a Lamp @ Jul 13 2011, 08:38 PM) Usually this is the case, just as Kk17nD says above. Huh. I dunno, is this after modding? I've been connecting my stuff to USB on the stock Cryo LX like 3.5" HDD, 2.5" HDD, joystick, mouse but so far nothing fried. Only thing is maybe not enough power cause sometimes they dc when connected to the Cryo LX but no problems when connected directly to my laptop. This happens regardless of whether I use the adapter or not, it still dc as if there's not enough power for the USB hub in Cryo LXOkay! I've been reading about not connecting the USB ports to your PC or to any peripherals due to the high voltage load/high current load. I'm not entirely sure but I've seen accounts that said their stuff got fried. To this point, I never used the USB ports on my CryoLX for safety measures So far, any issues on your NP8150 I should take note of? I'm still waiting on mine, I think I'm going to die from anticipation.  |
