The fans on a water cooling setup could be made quieter with lower voltage and different fans, but the pump on a water cooling setup is over 30db, which bothers me since I want my setup to be quiet and cool. Are there methods anyone recommends to muffle the sound of the pump--throwing an old winter ...

It doesn't look like the Cooler Master CM 690 II cools very well.

I wrote to Silverstone: If I install the radiator of a Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultima, an MCB120 "Radbox" Revision 2, housing assembly dimensions: 5.125 x 5.125 x 1.360" (130x130x35mm), http://www.swiftnets.com/PRODUCTS/MCB-120-R2.asp ...in the Fortress FT02 case, how long can the graphics card be?

I want to cool the CPU. I want a 32nm quad CPU by Intel, so this could take a while (unless I splurge for a Gulftown, but I'd rather not pay so much!).

I was thinking that if the PC-A70F has good testing results, it could be the
water cooler enthusiast's version of the Fortress 2.

I want it quiet for music production and cool for gaming, and was hoping to get a Fermi card. This case seemed to be the best (others are noisier or don't have dust filters or something) till I read about the Fermi and Swiftech having problems with it. I wanted to use the Swiftech, which I read is q...

I don't feel sure. That seems more gamer oriented. Maybe for quiet and cool, it would be better to get the Fortress 2, sell the watercooler, and put a quiet air cooler in it?

Could you recommend something else good at being quiet and cool but which would also be good for watercooling and the 10.5" card? I read the Lian Li A70F is good. This is my 1st self-made PC so I'm mainly going by reviews and any helpful advice. I have the difficult to reconcile concerns for the PC ...

I have a Swiftech H20-220 Apex Ultima water cooler. If I put the radiator, an MCB120 "Radbox" Revision 2, on the bottom over two of the fans, how long could the graphics card be? (I hope to use an Nvidia Fermi, which I read is 10.5 inches.)

Thanks! Would the radiator restrict how long a graphics card I can use? I wanted to get an Nvidia Fermi card.

What's a good place for the radiator on the Raven RV02 case?

I want to get the Raven 2 for its ability to cool quietly, but I'm new to watercooling and want to know if there's a way to add the Swiftech H20 220 Apex Ultima I recently bought to it without blocking two of the three intake fans as shown in the "Silverstone Raven 2" post in the "SPCR Article Discu...

I want to get the Raven 2 for its ability to cool quietly :) , but I'm new to
