Hi - I have 2x Reserators in series, on a single loop off a 10W Delphi pump, having removed their nasty little Eheims. They cool: a Q6700 at 3GHz in a P5W DH with a Northbridge block, Southbridge block, & Mosfet block; plus a GPU block, a Watercooled PSU, & 2x Raptors in a lead-wrapped Alphacool box...

I have this little box: unpleasantly noisy at the lowest-speed setting in the newest v 1.50 BIOS [setting is amusingly titled: 'ultra-silent']. Sounds like a hoover on 'Normal' through to whatever the highest-speed setting is called. Two presumably deaf reviewers have called the thing 'silent' & the...

I want to watercool my HDD and then enclose it in a sound proofing material so i'm looking for a relatively small cooler so that ther will be room for the soundproofing material. Any suggestions? . . I have & use both the Alphacool 'Silentstar' device [2x copper waterblocks, screwed to each side of...

I'm still contemplating on getting a NAS, but there is no good info available on the noise levels they produce. I'm especially intrested in the Synology DS-207+ as it seems to perform very well, has working afp and ssh access (so you can install separate apps if you want). I have also been consider...

Can anyone recommend a decent 3.5" enclosure or external drive with an eSATA connection? I've tried a number of them and have been unhappy with them all. I've tried several Antec MX-1 enclosures, they're fast and the eSATA cable fits nicely, but I find them far too noisy for regular use. In my expe...

Hi - you can get Expresscard eSATA hosts using the Sil3132 chip - this has [good] drivers for OSX. Some examples here . . . then you can use the unequalled [for quiet] Antec MX-1 - I am using one of these with a WD 'Green Power' 1TB HDD, connected to a mac via a Sil3132-chipset eSATA host. Quiet, qu...

. . have a WD10EACS in an Antec MX-1: combo is refined [the HDD inaudible over the Antec's quite refined centrifugal fan] & - using eSATA - fast for an external drive. All-in-all, a refined & compact way to have 1TB portable. This [first] one is for a 'Time Machine' drive for an OSX box; will defini...

Hi - got mine from EDVExtrem - it is a very well-done w/c conversion of an Enermax PSU.

Hi - have used quite a few of the dual Athlon MP mobos: Best for undervolting [Rev 1.04 only]: Asus A7M266-D [marked as 'unknown' in the 'discontinued' section of the mobo list]: Rev 1.04 has vcore adjust to both CPUs by jumpers Rev 1.03 & before have vcore adjust by jumpers to CPU#0 only OK for und...
