Here are some specs for a mid range gaming computer i would like to order soon (im planning to do so right when the 8800 gt comes out oct 29th). I know i could wait for peryn to come out but with crysis and UT3 coming out im afraid ill be unable to wait (im also planning to update the cpu, gpu and m...

ill try that cardboard thats a good idea also, i might put the tricool that comes with the case in front at 5v or something and ill stick with the nexus i was just wondering (you guys should test those fans if you havent already, im curious if that many fins help) here i have compiled new list, sorr...

and is the nexus the quietest 120mm out there, theres a fan on newegg thats 37 cfm @ 20 dba (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835129241) but i know how they lie about those kinda things also, regarding airflow, if i do it like this, will enough airflow get to the PSU? http://img5...

also is 300w gonna be enough for stock e660 and 7600 gt?

okay, heres a possible idea:
FSP Group (Fortron Source) ZEN FSP300-60GNF-R ATX 12V Version 2.0 300W Power Supply 100 - 240V - Retail - $99 after $30 MIR
Antec Solo Black/Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail - $90
nexus case fan - $13
thats a $203 option

getting WD drive now http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822135106 also, doesnt the p180 case look a little too open, look at all these holes for noise to escape from the back, not to mention the front as well http://images10.newegg.com/NeweggImage/productimage/11-129-017-13.jpg but...

updated Nexus Breeze Quiet Computer Case w/ 350w PSU - $140 http://www.endpcnoise.com/cgi-bin/e/std/sku=breeze_config.html THERMALRIGHT Ultra-120 CPU Cooling Heatsink - Retail - $47 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835109125 120mm Nexus Quiet Case Fan - $13, for heatsink http://w...

k thanks ill go with the 350 watt then, the PSU is a problem but i think he'll live with it, and one of the main points is to be near silent while idleing if you remeber from the first post (i had lost focus on that point)

can anyone tell me if my quieter 500w PSU theory in my above post is at all accurate? i think ill still bet with the breeze, if noise starts to be a problem i can start with underclocking the video card (remember its just for dual monitors not gaming), and in the worst case underclocking/undervoltin...

well the p180 case fans would prolly make it louder, and then i would spend $25-37 getting new nexus ones also, price is not really an issue, but it just seems like a waist to spend that much more for the p180, noise dampening, and a silent PSU when the nexus breeze 500 has that all at $100-200 chea...

o does the mobo connector let you controll it that way? never had one that did that so i dont know, if so could the controller out

well heres what the non-TNN option is starting to look like, make any suggestions you want: Nexus Breeze Quiet Computer Case w/ 500w PSU- $200 Nexus 120 mm Real Silent Case Fan (for cpu) - $13 THERMALRIGHT Ultra-120 CPU Cooling Heatsink - $47 Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 - ~$420 (i think it lists at $316 ...

well again if you got that many drives i dont think you want/are able to go fanless, just get the nexus fans that this site recommends and a fan controller

after seeing a few reviews youve convinced me on the nexus case with the optional 500w PSU (that is if my friend doesnt want to wait/pay for the intel microATX mobos for the TNN 300), one trivial question is that i dont want to buy from 3 different sites and endpcnoise.com doesnt stock the HDD silen...

DIY silent and sexy keyboard
http://www.flickr.com/photos/reversial/ ... 234480869/

its silent and is touch sensitive, its like something out of a sci-fi movie, okay maybe this isnt that practical, but neither is a silent keyboard

well im gonna have to go with the p180 cause its recommended by this site and is easier to get

also, im thinking pasive GPU, north bridge, and PSU
but what would be better, two 120mm exhaust fans or 1 exhaust and 1 on the ultra-120?

i was actually thinking just that except with the ultra-120 so it would be pointing the right way

do they have microATX boards that support the core 2 duo? i dont see any on newegg

i have a friend who would like to build a silent (not just quiet) system, i was looking at fanless cases and i didnt see too many options, what looked interesting is the zalman TNN cases, but i dont think the 300 would support a core 2 duo chip or the motherboard that supports it (it will be a fairl...
