Going fanless?
Just a quick straw-poll judgement, how workable are the current fanless psu units? - They dont seam to be progressing as fast as i though they would. - Seams fairly easy to me, stick a big heatsink assembly out the back of the psu unit, where tha fan would usally be, and bobs-you-uncal right? Ive so...

Reduction of whine - suspension
Doe anyone have any very on how much diffrence suspention makes to whine levals? - I have an old 60gb maxtor4 thats by far the loudest thing in my case and i was thinking of having a go at reducing the noise. - Does suspention help with these highpitched noises, or would i be better of wraping it in...

The giant heatsinks are not that hard to find. The heat pipes would be the adventure here. Yeah, thats how i saw it.

Yeah, it would be great, but i have no idea where to get any heatpipes from. - Bending them would be no problem, i have a mini pipe bender that would cope with the gauges of pipe involved. (i got i for gauge-pipes on our steam engine) - I have also though of using a pelter between the heatpipe and t...

Yeah, they can be tight, i have the older ZM80A on a NF7-S, i have a slk900 on the cpu, which means i had to site the zalman northbridge cooler i used (the blueone) and bit away, but turing its lsithgtly fitts it in with about 5mm to spare! - And air flow in fine, because almost all the heatsink is ...

So the spinpoints greatly benifit from beeing isolated i guess.
- But all in all, what ever i get (samsung/wd/maxtor) will be at least as good as DiaMax+9?

I'd recommend a fanless PSU for that setup - either the 300watt Silverstone or the Antec Phantom 350. Fanless would great, but other people have said there very unreliable and tend to overheat and blow? - have you run a simular system off a Fanless psu, did you have and problems with it, how long h...

My personal issues with the vertical drives are: 1. The small width usually only allows for 60mm fans which are loud no matter how much you slow them down. 2. They rarely allow for a good intake, severely limiting airflow. 3. The form factor usually only allows a proprietary PSU. If not, then a mic...
