Re: High-performance triple-purpose quiet system

OK, all my hardware has arrived except the case :( Reading discussions here on the forums about the Fractal Design R4 I might consider buying that instead. It also counts positively that both you guys, CA_Steve and Abula, use this case :) I'm a bit worried that its panels are too thin to absorb as m...

Re: High-performance triple-purpose quiet system

Hmm, so apparently the Antec Solo II is impossible to get where I live... Any suggestions for quiet alternatives?

Re: High-performance triple-purpose quiet system

I live in Denmark, so I guess the Super Flower would be easiest to get. The Super Flower Golden Green HX 80Plus Gold SF-550P14XE is available here and even cheaper than the Corsair RM450! I have no problems using a fanless PSU if there is no real risk that it will overheat (e.g. while gaming), but A...

Re: High-performance triple-purpose quiet system

Is there a non-fanless Seasonic PSU like the X-650 but with lower wattage? 650W is way overkill for this system :) Also, is it safe to assume that it supports Haswell CPU's (C6/C7 states etc.)?

Re: High-performance triple-purpose quiet system

Excellent, thanks so much! I almost have a complete revised parts list ready and hope to post it soon :) Regarding the PSU, I noticed that Corsair's RM450 is much cheaper (approx. 40%) than the Seasonic X-400 and has very favourable reviews here on the forums. Would I be silly to take these savings ...

Re: High-performance triple-purpose quiet system

Thanks for all the great feedback guys! Unfortunately the Glide Stream fans are not readily available where I live - can you recommend some other fans? Reading the "recommended fans" article here on SPCR, no single fan really highlights itself as the ideal low-RPM front case fan. Maybe just some mor...

High-performance triple-purpose quiet system

Hi all, I am new to these forums but have relied on SPCR for years! I am looking for some advice regarding a new build I am considering. The purpose is a combination of these: - Casual gaming at 1080p (Diablo 3 and Football Manager mostly, maybe some MMO's - I'm not into FPS-type games) - Windows Se...
