This seems to be power supply related. I have a Sonata case also. I have tried two different stock power supplies. One of them exhibited this "buzzing" sound while scrolling, one did not. So it seems to vary from sample to sample. Both were too loud for my tastes so I replaced the stock supply with ...

I agree. The Rheobus is great. It is very well made. Absolutely amazing for only $15. Before I received the Rheobus that I ordered I went to Fry's and bought connectors, pins and a crimping tool. I wanted to have everything ready to go when my new toy came. It turns out, I didn't need any of those t...

jblinkj182 I received my Rheobus from SVC just this last Monday. The one I got has the extra adapters. One of the adapter types will hook up to the stock Sonata exhaust fan. I don't know if all their current inventory has the extra adapters. What I do know is that a week ago they were out of stock o...

I have a Sunbeam Rheobus in my Sonata case. It fits just fine behind the door. The black one looks great! It works fine with the slide-in rails too. The one I got from SVC also came with 3 additional wiring adapters not mentioned on SVC's website or Sunbeam's. It came with 2 wire extension/adapters ...

I HAD a 380S in my Sonata. I never tried running the "Cpu Burn-In" tool. I didn't need to run the tool to get my power supply to squeal. Man was it loud! I'm glad I'm not the only one that hears these sounds. For the first few minutes after turning my computer on it was fine, no squeal. But after a ...

I found the Antec 380S in my Sonata case to be too noisy. It not only made fan noises, but it also emitted high pitched squealing sounds as well as 60Hz buzzing sounds. I though maybe I got a defective unit. After all this is supposed to be a "quiet" case and power supply... right? So, I got a repla...

Just like "pocketmoon" I have an Antec Sonata case and a 9800Pro. Not only did the tension bracket on mine break, but I also snapped off one of the mounting screws in the heatsink while attempting to remove the screw afterwards. The hole in the heatsink was not tapped deep enough to install the prod...
