Here's my wishlist (I'm sure others will follow) : 1. External PSU It all depends on how much gear you have under/around your tv/hifi, but for me the cable mess is incredible, and internal PSU would be preferable, Indeed, but another advantage of the brick is the ability to put this external source...

If there's a PSU fan, it's not totally fanless ;) I tried my P3-S 1.26GHz totally fanless (no PSU fan, nothing), in a closed environment (it's an HTPC). It booted and operated normally, but the temp was too high (70°C) so I didn't made any burn test and put one fan to cool everything. I would say th...

As the others said, the 2 60mm fans are to scrap. Also, I still don't get the interest of buying Intel Pentium 4 CPU if the goal is to have a fast & silent computer. If you plan to buy a new CPU, why not taking an Athlon64 ? They can surely handle HDTV, and produce a fraction of the heat. For the ca...

No, no, the one at the bottom of the page is female IDE and plugs directly into the motherboard. I should know, I have one know under my eyes ;) As for power, you need some power connector in a...

CFDISK.5G : Cost 10$.
As it's really light, the shipping cost are those of normal letters, and it also have a few resellers in various countries (click on shop)

Actually, in this case the hard drive is not anywhere in the main airflow path (it's in the upper front corner in an optical drive bay). That's okay, because it's a 2.5" drive and thus cooling it isn't a priority. [/quote] :oops: was just thinking of the pictures on top. As for putting a hole in the...

Which of the following is more efficient? 1. fresh air -> CPU -> hard drive -> exhaust or 2. fresh air -> hard drive -> CPU -> exhaust 1, no discussion, you even agreed [ok, ok, I'm pedantic on your question ;)] The former will indeed cool the CPU marginally more efficiently, but it will cook your ...

As crazy as it sounds, I believe the hottest part of my system is the nForce3 chipset, along with a few MOSFETs and ICs along the motherboard. This is why I was considering this intake duct, as it should direct airflow directly over these components. If that's really the case, then your ducting pla...

I'm not an intel specialist, but by checking this , you have to choose carefully, the "mobile" P4 goes up to 100W. VIA is not an option for m...

* you reduced the cooling to one fan only, but using the wrong one :) the worst thing to do, imho, is to cool using the psu fan. that's because the psu generates a lot of heat itself, then circulating heated air from cpu through it...

Samsung ML-1710 (printer) : noisy
The subject says it all, I got one of those cheap (85$) printer mostly because it had both USB & // ports.
And it's damn noisy, the motor ran for 1-2 minutes upon power up, and the noisy fan for 10 minutes afer printing 1 page
