Peter,
I must admit this is ingenious idea. It can be worked out with very professional look. And some silicone liquid would generate more lifting power. 
What about Alain's suggestion, hanging NOS1 on elastic stripes or hoses, something similar to what I did for HDD's inside PC:



Edit: Below cage is soft, open cell sponge to dampen vertical oscillation.

I hate those riddle tweaks  unhappy.
The damn thing is floating in a box of water!

No Coen, I think Peter added some oil. For Engine #4   rofl

Hmm, 9V battery was included as well, but surely can cost more than 40c

...Hopefully Peter will end his teasing and let us know what strange brew he has concocted to get the Silverstone sounding right...

Peter is mentioning need of opening NOS1, doing something in there. I have not opened mine. What (USB thingie) can be isolated fm ground?

Here's another DIY photo story. PCIe is not Silverstone one, not available locally, will order sometime later. I have used masking tape, electrical tape and piece of isolated wire. PVC Cable Tie would be easier for tightening but had no 'thin' enough at hand. Inner side: piece of electrical tape, masking tape over it. Cut rectangle USB openings. Outer side: masking tape. Openings cut as shown in photo (whoever did wallpapers at home, knows what I'm trying to explain here Happy)
Electrical + masking tape over pcb. All fixed by two pieces of isolated wire. Check all is OK (isolated) with DVM. Fits PC without problem.

Hey Peter,

This screen is not possible 'right after XXHE installation'. This pic indicates that Skin Settings /S/ is used and 'Standard images for Playback Buttons' check box checked.
As for the background color - think it depends and varies in accordance to album 'Folder.jpg' prevailing color. I'v seen this color (change) although with earlier version(s) of XXHE.
Presently not using any styling at all, it slows down (already slow, sorry) XXHE visual response at least w/ graphic card I have at the moment.

Best,
George

PS: SFS = 0.2 here (see sig); not sure whether that can work in your version.

Peter,
Are you saying you manage SFS=0.2 with Q1=14 ?

133  Ultimate Audio Playback / Your thoughts about the Sound Quality / Re: NOS1 and DAC settings in XXHE 0.9z-9b WIN8 on: August 28, 2013, 09:28:28 am
Peter,

Coen is talking about selection of DAC(s) capability in drop-down list, not selection on radio-buttons (24 or 32 bits)
According to Coen, there is difference in SQ and is better to choose NOS1 as "24/768" rather than "32/768" capable DAC.

Brgds,
George

Hi Carsten, wallpaper should be shown normally while in Attended mode. There's problem showing it in Unattended mode.
Actually it is there but appears for a few milliseconds only after issuing Alt-X command Happy

I'm using Win7 Shell on my 'work machine' - right now while I'm typing this message and have wallpaper shown.
Unregistered XXHE, cream border stripes of course.

Hi Carsten

I had similar situation (titlebar text not red) untill I activated CoverArt functions (Show Wallpaper, At Attended etc.)
At next XXHE start (& play) all was OK, wallpaper got red top & bottom stripes, titlebar reading turned red.

I went same way, purchased W8 upgrade licence. XXHE does not 'need' W7 Shell however sound is better with it (no 'Metro Apps' active)
but you need W7 installation media/disk.

Hth

George
