I just want to reply to the poll for the length of the article for now. HELL NO IT WASN'T TOO LONG! Where else am I going to get this kind of information on the net? I come to this site because SPCR is a site that first and foremost considers noise levels during a review. When I read a SPCR review I...

I wish Antec thought of making the P180 configurable for both vertical tower and horizontal HTPC use. It would have been nice if you could rotate the drive cages and mount feet and the bottom had the same brushed aluminum finish. Seems to me that you could fit three 5.25 drives horizontal with a spa...

By the way, that's going to be one hot HTPC. Good luck cooling that while still giving it the capaibility for 'quiet' when fairly idle. Yes HTPC and gaming rig don't usually mean quiet. I'm trying to make a quiet HTPC gaming rig so I am looking for a quiet 500W power supply that can handle SLI and ...

How does the Seasonic S12-500 compare with the Antec Phantom 500 for noise? I plan on using the Antec P180 and it has a PSU duct with a 120mm fan. I planned on putting the Phantom on the lowest fan setting and hope the 120mm duct fan would keep the fan from ramping up even during gaming. Any thought...

Any info or future review of the Caviar SE16 series that were just presented at E3? The Tech Report has some news on these drives and they claim the platters spin at 7,200 RPM, have 16MB of onboard cache, and pull data from that cache at rates up to 300MB/s with a SATA-II interface. The Tech Report ...

Have any modders out there tried to take a Sonata or SLK3700BQE and mod the front 5.25 bays to be horizontal behind the door, take out the hard drive cage, add a front 120mm fan, suspend the harddrives horizontal, and move the rubber feet to the side wall? I heard that the top, bottom, and one side ...

Wow I didn't expect such a quick response. Thanks for all the info guys. I searched Newegg for any HTPC cases using the 120mm fan search filter and none are offered. I think you guys are correct that there is nothing on the market for what we are looking for. Have any modders out there tried to take...

Hello, I've been lurking here for a while, but today I finally registered. From what I have read the Antec Sonata and Antec SLK3700BQE have some of the best airflow with the option to mount 2 quiet 120mm fans. I plan on building a "quiet" gaming rig for the HDTV in the living room, but I want someth...
