I got it, down from $80AU to $60AU because the seller realized some scratches on the side pannel, no big deal for me. I am however a little curious about how to configure the fans, should I take out lower chamber fan and have just HDD and PSU in there or I should keep the lower chamber fan? Or I sho...

Should I get an Antec p180?

Hey guys, I have recently come across a chance to get a original p180(without the holes on the mobo tray) for $80AU and I am tempted, mainly because new p183 is $240AU and second hand p182 is not avalible in my state, (Brisbane) a p182 + shipping will bring the price close to $200AU. My question is,...

I must applogize I didn't make myself clear enough. The HDD without intake peaks at 50, and with intake fan it peaks just below 40, therefore I think it's kinda necessary to leave it there. I'll try to uses fanmate 2 to see if I can slow the fan any further though. combining from opinions from you g...

have you modded the case panels with with any material? mass loading or sound absorbing foam? etc. will the motherboard control the cpu fan, so you don't have to use the ulna on it? Haven't done that, acoustic foams are actually bit hard to get in Brisbane Australia, but I have thought about it. Ho...

Seasonic M12II 500W candidate for fan swap?

Hi guys,

I have a Seasonic M12II 500W, and have recently come to mind to replace its fan with a Noctua P12

Is this a good move? as far as I know the existing M12II is quiet already.

Cheers

I've got the Zalman GV1000 (which is virtually identical to the VF1000) and the fan is still the loudest part of my gaming system even at 5V. I wouldn't recommend it. I guess that leaves that one out then, I might choose a heat sink and add a Noctua P12 or S12 on it. I don't trust those Arctic Cool...
