Cooldrive4: Bad buy but temp sensors is a must. Nice to monitor rpms. Not using the 7-12V fan controling at all. Best temp monitoring device?
Sunbeam rheobus: Great way to control fans from 0-12V in a fast and easy way.
Broken 3.5 plate: Used to have 5-0-12V switches there but the rheobus was better :)

All 120mm. Using papst since I haven't found any nexus in sweden. Have actually just ordered a few yate loon.

HDD: Suspended SP1203N with elastics. Still whines at idle. Isolated Deskstar on foam. This mod acually didn't do much to the noise level compared to suspending it like the samsung. Noisiest components.

CPU: Using adapter to fit 120mm fan on standard HS, not the best but works. An XP-120 would be nice to have :)

GPU: Have removed the plastic and fan from my Silencer NV 1, works pretty good. Another cheap solution could be drilling holes in an old cpu hs and screw it on to the GPU. If anybody has any suggestion how to move the hdd fan closer to the GPU I'm all ears?

PSU: Home made 120mm PSU, works well so far... PSU HS is 44C at idle @ 960rpm http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=18734
