Best prices I found and super fast shipping! :)
If you look a few up you'll see I found them already. And I agree, super fast shipping. I had my fans within 2 days!

I didn't look. I've already bought and received new fans, for $10 each.

Perhaps next time I need something I'll go through that way.

I've done a quick look around my usual places in canada, and a google search. I've only come up with their own site. But I think I'd be looking for the D12BL-12 correct? Perhaps I'll check my local junk electronics shop, perhaps I'll get lucky with something. Edit: May have found somewhere, anyone h...

Need new fans for P180

One of the fans that came with my P180 is slowly dying, I opened my case to find it stopped today, flicked it, it's still spinning, but, slowly, barely moving any air. I looked into buying some Nexus fans, but the only place I could find them (in Canada) is NCIX.com and they're $20.07... is there an...

Thanks for the replies. I realize I'll never get it as quiet as a normal machine, or atleast not on the same budget. But I'd like to try anyway.

I used a thicker than normal Electrical Tape I found at a hardware store. It definately wasn't what I was trying to find, however it did the job fairly well!

Don't you still need a harddrive? what happens if the battery dies? do you have to reinstall?

How many did your ship with? IIRC, it ships with 3. The two in the back and one in the bottom.
Yeah that's all. I just thought it came with 4 for some reason, one in the front.

Thanks! I was planning on staggering them between the 5 1/4s and the 3 1/2s to allow air to pass through. As it stands right now the drives are probably reaching around 60°C which is WAY too hot. My other machine with only 2 drives, and no airflow at all reaches 41°C on the hotter of the drives, but...

I've got a server with 6 drives in it. http://www.animekiksazz.com/images/Arstechnica/Side-Door-Off.jpg Now I know I should seperate them.

At any rate, I've been looking for a case for the past year that met my requirements. I ...

Yeah but I'd have 4 drives, so if I removed a tray I couldn't have 4 drives.

Also, are there any other cases that reduce noise that are also black? cuz I might buy one for my second PC while I'm at it. I just don't want 2 identical cases.

How much are those Samsung drives (in Canadian dollars if you can manage). I looked online not many people sell them, and if they do they don't have a price on their site. I'd probably go with 3 of them, so I'd be 1 drives less than what I'm at now. And the Antec Sonata case is $149 w/ PSU. The case...
