I've just started up my new PC, configured as seen in my signature. It has been assembled by my dealer but I chose all the parts. This means that the two Antec fans that came with the case are placed in the rear and at the top and I've turned of the top fan. There is also a Noctua fan in the front l...

Thanks for the input, everyone! I know my dealer can get hold of both the P182 and the P183, so I'll have to choose. Right now I favour the P183. I might have to cover the top vent, but it seems worth it. But my standpoint changes about 5 times a day... :roll: Concerning the graphics (sorry, it is o...

But what is newer and better at app. the same money? Or will the 3650 do just fine?

I've been lurking around this site and many others for some time now and I'm slowly beginning to get a grip on what parts should be qualified for my new PC. I will mainly use it for video editing and music creation (DAW) apart from the usual "surf 'n office stuff". NO gaming, no o-c! Silence is impo...

I've tried to get a grip on the everlasting question of "how much voltage/power does my new system require" but all threads on the subject (that I can understand) seems to be a well out of date. So here is my question: I will buy a new computer, mainly for video editing and music recording/mixing. A...

But that's not 7200 RPM, is it?

Adding the parameter of at least 7200 RPM (I do need the performance) to a previous question on this forum - what do you suggest? Would prefer to avoid RAID solutions if possible, but if you have a really great solution using RAID, let me know.
