you must of missed this picture then

It is a DFI NF4 Ultra-D with a Zalman 7700 alcu(120mm hsf), OCZ Modstream 450W in a coolermaster centurion case.

I just found this thread , here is a quote from the first post: Personal experience: This is not recommended for anyone to try, but I was able to get a new Ultra-D system running with a $20 Rosewill 350W ATX 1.3 PSU with only 15a on the 12v rail by using the additional 12V line, floppy connector, HD...

Thanks for crapping on my thread oh I see, most of that post wasn't there when I read it. Thanks for editing it to give me some more info

It was just easier to say it in my own words. I am looking into it, I would love to use a 400W unit, so if someone says it works and has some proof(website forum, hardware review, ect..) I would go with the Seasonic SS 400W. I just want my board to be stable, I really don't care what PSU or how much...

BTW If a single processor board for AMD64 doesn't run stable with a non-faulty 400W Seasonic PSU, then I think you should consider another board, not another PSU. Because that means it is a board that is not well designed. I don't remember any other boards being mentioned in this thread and also, b...

Once again thank you velvet45 , To all previous posters: I apologize for any rude remarks, I was in the wrong for asuming that everybody would accept a 500W PSU as a "good buy" I guess I felt that I was being made fun of :lol: Guess I need to grow up some more yet. I am still open to any reccomendat...

SNL did a skit about a muzzle for kids that was called "The silencer of the Lambs" that was pretty funny :lol: I bought the duplex as an investment (I am just living in the main floor apartment until I can buy a decent house) so I won't be living there forever. I would be very interested to know if ...

Thank you so much ilh, This is exactly the kind of info I am looking for! Do you think the P180 will hide a litlle of the fan noise? I shuold also point out that I live in a ~700 square foot duplex apartment with my wife and two young kids so ambient noise level is usually pretty high

I think you got me wrong :lol: I dont want a normal PC. I want a pc with an enthusiasts/overclocking geared motherboard that happens to have very specific needs. Sorry if I have offended anyone with my post, I just prefer facts over opinions. I realize his point, a realisticly rated 300-350w psu sho...

Tibors, what did a 500w psu ever do to you?:D I think you are a little off base if you are suggesting that the DFI board is not well designed (btw: if you are going to slam something at least give me some proof to back up your remarks, for example a review ). This is one of the most popular boards o...

I agree with dfrost, take a look at some non-sli boards (sli is really only for hardcore gamers or benchmark junkies) I'm getting a DFI myself but that doesn't mean it is right for you. You can find lots of discussion on various NF4 at all of the major hardware forums. Found an interesting one here ...

According to thermalright's website you can't use dimm slot #1 if you are planning on going with the XP-120. I have a somewhat similar setup (AXP 3200/thermalright SI-97 in and HP oem case) and temps are fine with only the psu and a 92mm fan as exhaust. Oh and by the way, just clink this link to che...

Thanks for the heads up! this is going to be my first build so I expect a few snags but I am not going to tolerate instability because I want a quiet computer. When seasonic was first reccomended I was most interested in the 500w S12, this meets what DFI reccomends correct? I only decided on the 400...

Just finished the power supply fundamentals article, gonna go with a seasonic! Now I just need to know about this whole {ripping+alchohol=silentPC} :D I do have one off topic question: The P180 has a bottom mount psu bay, does anyone have any idea if a normal length power cord will be able to be con...

:oops: Looks like I got busted for not reading up on power supplys over here :oops: Thank you SometimesWarrior for that excelent post, I think you answered my questions perfectly! Looks like I will read that article and probably buy a seasonic. I have a happy meal computer that I bought about a year...

Thanks for the help everyone :D I should specify: I will buy the P180 when it becomes available :D I plan on upgrading the vid card sooner than later (the 6600gt is just to get started) so I was just going to use the nv-5 on it until then. I am not sold on the OCZ yet, does anyone here know if runni...

I will be putting an A64 together peice by peice in the near future so I would like all of you to give me some input on my hardware choices. I will be overclocking and am aware this will make having a silent PC more difficult. Here is what I am currently planning on buying: Case: Antec P180 Power: S...
