Great question! I'd also like to know. I suppose the alternative could be making our own by cutting Industrial-quality dust filters to our preferred size?

I just measured today and the answer is NO, a 200mm radiator will not mate flush with 200mm Antec fan if placed between fan and top of case. So, a smaller top fan with a sealed funnel would be the only way to have that configuration working properly...and so my modding mayhem begins...

I like the pictures and hwo you utilized space, but surely that thing cannot be quiet. Got any noise measurements?

Has anyone had any success with quiet NZXT Vulcan case builds?

It seems like this Silverstone Fortress FT03 case will be very loud with a good video card and quad core cpu @ 4ghz. I don't see anything in the case design that trys to combat noise and perhaps that is why they did not have it powered on?

Parappaman wrote:You can't. If you need watercooling, get a different case, really.

so there is not enough space to sandwich a thin 200mm radiator between the top of the case and the fan? Or is it some other reason it won't fit?

Putting a 200mm radiator above this fan seems like a good idea, but not sure a radiator can be sandwiched between the fan and the top of the case. Those of you that have the Antec Mini P180, how much lower can you move the 200mm fan without hitting anything?

Looks like a nice laptop. But, is the fastest I/O usb 2.0?

pics dead already?

Water cooling as it is done in a PC is actually quite the same as air cooling. A copper block (predominantly) takes the heat off the chip, transfers it to a conductor (heatpipes or water) which is then run through a set of fins (heatsink or raditator) through which air is forced to cool it. The adv...

It's been proven mathmatically and physically that water cooling (Convection) is more effective at heat transfer compared to air cooling (Conduction). With that said, if the water cooling setup is not optimized for that computer, it can be louder than a very good air cooled setup. So, the trick to w...

Are we all obsessive-compulsive about pc noise? I vote HECK NO! :) Why should we have to listen to the annoying constant noise from fans and/or buzzing/irritating sounding PC's? If you spend a lot of time with computers (like me), it's much more bearable to rest your ears while using the computer as...

don't anyone confuse this power supply with the earthwatts 750, which is cheaper, and a heck of a lot noiser.

How noisy is the Antec Earthwatts 750 power supply if one were to put it in an Antec P180 case?

does anyone have a used one they are willing to sell me during their upgrade process?

I remember the days when newegg had these for sale after rebate for ~$55, amazon's price is more than twice than that ...

Here is a link to the case review :D : http://www.thinkcomputers.org/aerocool-pgs-qx-2000-cube-case-review/4/ I like the smaller footprint it leaves around the desk and it's easy to carry to locations for computational intensive tasks, this is why I ask about the noise "impressions" from you more ex...

I realize the Aerocool QX-2000 is no Antec p18x series, but how quiet do you think this could be with fans that had the optimum noise/cfm ratio with an i7 930 @ 4Ghz? (System spec = passive video card, SSD hard drive, blue-ray optical drive, & 1 audio-recording device in PCI slot) Also, anyone know ...

Title says it all. I'm looking for an Antec Mini P180 computer case (color does not matter) and preferably with all the included accessories. Anyone looking to get rid of one?

In everyone's experience, which case is typically quieter if you're putting similar components in the build:

Antec P183 (mid-tower)

or

Antec mini P180 (micro-atx)?

Thanks for the recommendations everyone, I'm leaning towards the Noctua D14 with 12cm fan option at this point. Do you guys think it will enable a Core i7 920 cpu to achieve 4.0 Ghz on air cooling?

Does anyone know if the Scythe Orochi cpu heatsink will fit in an Antec mini p180 case? I'm looking for the best air cooling for a core 2 duo cpu for a 1ghz overclock, so I curious if I can get away with this combo.

nice job,
thanks for sharing

I'd opt for a Core 2 Duo since it produces less heat than that AMD, but otherwise looks nice so far .

Guys since I've been out of the loop, can someone please answer this question:

Is 1600mhz fsb "rating" on an intel Core 2 Duo system is an actual and physical front side bus speed of 400mhz or 200mhz?

NOOO!!!!

The mini p180 coupon does not work anymore! Does anyone know where I can get it for $79 shipped?

I heard rumors Antec was coming out with a new mini p180, so if anyone can point me to a good deal on this version, it would stop me from --> .
