In theory yes, but that 3000+ will bottleneck hard your GTX. I'm going to use 2560x1600 with everything on max. Maybe I should get a 8800GTS 320MB? Which will be the bottleneck? With a bottlenecked graphics card I always had to spend an hour optimizing the settings before I could play, and then I g...

Antec Phantom 350 - how much can it power?
I have the rear grilles removed with a Papst fan blowing air through it. I have it outside the case.
Is 350watts the limit or can it do higher with the fan?
I have AMD 3000+, 2GB RAM, 2 harddrives, 1 fan.
Is it possible to connect a 8800gtx into the Phantom?

If you want shielding you could cover the case with carbon fiber paper like this guy: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthrea ... 316&page=9

The quieter my system gets the more annoyed I get. After I pulled the computer out of the closet it took a week to adjust to it, but then it didn't bother me at all for a month. But then I put it back into the closet and now I'm bothered by small sounds again, soon I need to replace my MX510 mouse. ...

Finally got a replacement after 6 months. :x But now there is a very loud buzzing noise when the computer is turned off. When I turn ON the computer the buzzing goes away! When I turn off the computer the buzzing starts again, but this time slightly louder, possibly heat related? I turned the Phanto...

0 dB in sewer or 70 dB in castle?
How sensitive to noise are you? In all "homes" the desk and computer are exactly the same, the only difference is how it looks around you and how noisy and smelly it is.

That setup makes me want to shoot myself. Ugh! Can't you organize it at least a little bit? Eh, well, I guess if it's quiet in your room... It is organized and just how I want it. As I said, putting all the cables in place was a puzzle (cable length etc.), but it may look like I just placed all stu...

8 harddrives in closet
My computer is fanless with the Zalman Reserator making the most noise. I made the hole through the wall as small as possible to prevent much noise from leaking out. I had to remove all cables and make the hole a little bigger a few times. Putting all cables in place was like a puzzle. I found a whi...

Seagate 7200.8 vibration inconsistencies
I got 6 Seagate 250GB 7200.8 and they vibrate a different amount when idle, there is a big difference between the drive that vibrates the most and the drive that vibrates the least. I have all drives resting on foam. I measured the vibrations with my sensitive finger at the same spot on each drive. ...

I got the same thing. Mine worked for a week before it died. It suddenly shut off while the computer was idle. Then it didn't start anymore, the blue light just goes on and off when trying to start it. It was on 12 hours per day running Folding @ Home. It was outside the case with no airflow. My com...

How much noise does this case block? http://www.atechfabrication.com/products/mass_storage.htm Why isn't there any reviews yet, is it because it is too expensive?

3x80gb one platter vs 2x160gb two platter, which is quieter?
I will set up a RAID 0 with Samsung Spinpoint drives. Using 3 drives instead of 2 makes it up to 50% faster than with only 2 drives, right? Three SP0812C (80gb) drives is the same price as two SP1614C (160gb) drives, and you get 50% extra speed for 33% less storage space. I have read that 2 platters...
