I bought an "b-stock" SLK3000B and, to this day, can't find anything wrong with it. It was around $20 so I took a chance. How much are they asking for a P180?

My order got cancelled as well. I was looking forward to playing with a quiet small system. Mwave is usually pretty cool. No clue as to what happened this time. didn't need another PC anyway. Just wanted a new toy.

People's Pcs are as individual as they are. I should have mentioned that the Sunbeam works perfectly, so far, with the Globe 120mm (another SPCR recommendation) I got from Silencio. I thought the Sunbeams changed voltage and didn't use PWM. Anyway they work sweet with the globes but I can't speak ab...

I'm no silence expert but SPCR has affected my purchase decisions more positively then any other web source. I searched for years for the perfect controller and finally settled on the Sunbeam rheobus. I recently installed three of them and was impressed with their quality and heavy duty build. Defin...

I just attached my 120mm globes with four rubber "screws" and put a bead of DAP silicone rubber sealant (high end caulk) around the fan frame then applied gentle pressure with two peices of wood and a c-clamp overnight. I was pretty impressed with the results. It seems like no fan vibration at all. ...

Thanks for all the ideas. I do like the globes so far. Lots of configuration options can't hurt. They seem to work smoothly with the sunbeam controller as well.

Thank you very much. I had hoped the answer was that simple. thanks for the info!

I bought some globe 120mm fans from Silencio and was wondering how to remove the thermal sensor so I could get the full RPM range of the fan when necessary. I've got the on a Sunbeam rheobus and they're very quiet but I'd like to know how to acheive their full speed whenI need it. Thanks in advance.

People should also know that Jab-tech doesn't gouge you on shipping. If you order from Newegg and shipping on a small item is $5 then if you order two it's $10. At Jab-tech it's done by weight and on that same order the shipping might well be $5. The vendor is friendly as well. He a nswers questions...

Thanks for the confirmation . I'm tryimg not to have to rewire thing 10 times.

The various front panel connector wires on the SLK3000B have a colored wire and white wire. The Supermicro MB I'm using expects an all in one Intel standard front panel connector but also lists the definitions of the various pins. I'm pretty sure the white wires from the front panel lights and switc...

I use IE and also have to log in to SPCR every time. It puzzles and irritates me as well. Other forums work fine. I'd appreciatte any wisdom on the matter.

I just assumed that all graphics card DVI outputs were in fact DVI-I (analog and digital) for backward compataabilty. I've put some time into the various DVI options. I've looked into DVI switches and DVI KVMs and what type of DVI you're working with is critical. If aqm consultant wants two CRTs ope...

I can't help you with the passive cooling on a graphics card. Too risky for me. I think any ATI or Nvidia card with dual monitor outputs on the back can acomplish your dual/landscape/portrait monitor modes. Iy's just a matter of finding it in display properties. My three cards were listed above but ...

I own three graphics cards all with one vga out and one DVI-I out. DVI-I provides both analog and digital signals. Almost always a DVI to VGA adapter is provided but if not it's a $5 part. The three cards are a 9800XT, 660GT and a X850XT PE. I run them all dual monitor with a LCD in portrait mode an...

I've owned the PC-65 for about two years. It's an excellent well made case but won't win any silence awards. If I were you I'd search for the PC-65 plus which is the same case but with 120mm fans. As far as looks and a well thought out design Lian-Li are the best but their prices seemed to have doub...

I've purchased a logisys temp controller/monitor and wondered what the ideal location for the temp probes on the CPU and for that matter the GPU. I've seen several articles where the author appeared to locate the probes directly on the CPU. I may have misread or misunderstood. Won't this keep the he...

The sunbeam is simple elgant and cheap.

The automatic controllers all seem to have some "issue".

I know you said you didn't want a controller but if you've got a 5 1/4 bay one cheap simple solution might be

Simple and straightforward!

The last time I looked Newegg had SATA cables that had a 90 degree on one end. I don't remember the color. I've never seen 90 degree molex. Jab-tech is a superb vendor by the way. Rave reviews!

I would have liked to read both site's information but I'm German challenged. Any English translations? I looked for links related to English.

Thanks for the response! I forgot to ask two more things. In the reviews I seem to remember someone mentioning replacing the leds with more subdued ones. Sources and/or links for these would be appreciatted. I also wanted to control the CPU fan whille still sending the fan monitor information to the...

You're all probably tired of the does XXX controller fit behind XXX case's door. I'm sure it was covered but I searched and couldn't find it. I bought the SLK 3000B (still available from Amazon for $44 shipped http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0006OCZMQ?v=glance ) and couldn't be more p...

Has anyone tried the 7700 with a Globe fan? Fans other than the Nexus? Any successes OR failures would be interesting to hear about.

Thanks to ryan45. Those athena at newegg enclosures look like they might be perfect. They're cheap enough to give a try at least.

I was thinking of asking this same question but never got around to it. I presently have two non removable vantec vortex HD coolers in one of my PCs and believe them to be the source of most of my noise. A removable SATA drive bay would be an ultimate backup solution but I feared noise issues. Anyon...

I'm contemplating the hardcano 12 since both expert reviewers and people who own it seem satisfied. It's $60 and uses a 5 1/4 bay but i use that PC a great deal and want the fans to adjust automatically. I hope it works well with the globes I bought. I considered just using the thermistors that come...

Thanks for your very specific details. Such information is hard to come by. I guess I'll keep on looking. I'd like a smothe "automatic" hardware solution without spending $70 . Finding a "perfect" peice of hardware is often difficult if not impossible.
