Well, it is quiet as idle (I can hear from a distance of ab. 10 cm). As it is whining I can hear it if I am couple of meters away (faint noise). Not a big deal.

Yes it does. Opening windows and scrolling mouse seem to cause it. Thus it is not irregular by the definition. Anyway, the noise is not loud or annoying as described by some people in all those "coil-whine of PSU posts" in SPCR.

Yes I am and I just noticed a mild(ish) irregular high-pitched whine that comes out of the brick. The brick is on my desk at the moment ab. 20 cm away from me. Hope it does not get worse! Anyway, nothing to complain, at least for now.

SlaveToSilence, thank you for the tip. I bought the item from eBay and 24.56 euros (inc. shipping etc.) is a great price!

No fan, fits to plug of picopsu fine, no complains.

I measured my Jetway NC81-LF and the board size is exactly 170 x 170 mm. The corners of the board are (fairly) rounded, though, as you can see in any picture of the board. Hope this helped.

DrDooM , I placed the components (Jetway NC81-LF / Scythe SCSK-1000 Shuriken / Athlon 4850e / 4GB) temporarily inside Antec NSK1480. I was not too pleased with the temps (and the noise!) in Psile, not even with two 60mm rear exhaust fans. Now (with NSK1480) the temps are CPU 53C, System 58C at load...

Sorry, wrong place

Nice pictures, gtquan! I have a Psile with Jetway NC81-LF and Scythe SCSK-1000 Shuriken. Proper exhaust fans are certainly a must, without them temps (both CPU and system) reach almost 60C! Thus, Shuriken alone is not a good choice: warm air stays inside the case (as the air moves downward, not rear...

Finnish, English, Swedish, Hebrew, Estonian, Arabic, German, Greek, Norwegian, Danish... I first studied the Semitic languages as my major (Hebrew, Arabic), then I changed it to Finnish (Finnish, Estonian). I once counted 34 languages/dialects, in which I have at least learned the basic grammer. I m...

I just finished installing Ubuntu 7.10 and tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" (vesa installation) again. This time everything went smoothly, and have to assume that my previous problems with Ubuntu were caused by lack of knowledge. :( At 1280x1024 things look nice so far. No Compiz Fusion 3D...

dougz I will wait for Ubuntu 7.10 (only two more days!). The problem I encountered with Ubuntu was some minor screen distortion with VESA driver. Actually "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" sort of worked (the driver was installed), but... Some more Linux nostalgy. I attended the University of Hel...

dougz Ubuntu was my first call. For some reason "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" did not work for me. Mandriva is ok, though I am really pissed because Finland is not listed as a choice in county list for localization (in Mandriva 2008.0). After all, is Finland not the place were Linux was born ...

I spent quite a lot of time configuring my D201GLY based web server to work with sis662 driver. No luck whatsoever. Xorg's VESA: For some reason VESA solution works only with Fedora and Mandriva. (I tried my luck with OpenSuse and Ubuntu, but ended up with problems.) Both were easy to install. After...

VESA driver (X.org) is working fine at least at 1280 x 1024 with Mandriva (2008.0) and Fedora Core 7. No screen distortions - and no 3D acceleration, though. There are some links to old Intel drivers here: http://www.2x.com/forums/index.php (in "2X ThinClientServer"). Google "sis 662 Ubuntu" for more.

D201GLY uses northbridge heat sink for CPU. It think some socket 479 (478) boards use the same method, too. And the mounting brackets must be for hooks, not for push-pin holes. (As far as I know, these are the two options for mounting the northbridge heat sinks). I'm using Noctua NC-U6 northbrige he...

WD solution 1414 was for no help. All I got is a message: "drive needs no update". And I really don't know how to force a firmware update. Well, looks like I'm all done with Scorpio. I hope Samsung M80 with Scythe Quiet Drive 2,5 will be silent enough.

I'll give it a try this weekend. Thanks.

correction: 8mm fan -> 80mm fan

I replaced the stock heat sink with Noctua NC-U6 and it fits nice. With 8 mm fan (Nexus, 1600 rpm) the system is silent enough compared to noisy stock fan (4400 rpm). CPU temp also dropped about 5 degrees C. There is sufficiently space in Nexus Psile mini-ITX case for NC-U6. By the way, I bought my ...

I have WD Scorpio (40gb, ide) with clicking noise issue, too. Putting the drive inside 2.5" Scythe enclosure is no help. Still hearing the click from meters away.

I'll try Samsung M80 160gb (+ Scythe) next. I expect not to be as disappointed as with WD Scorpio.

KVR667D2N5/1G and working 100 % ok.
