downwitch you are extremely rude, all m0002a is trying to do is help and with the incredibly unhelpful and unspecific requirements you gave him I want low-power and passive-cooled-as-possible, but also need some horsepower, some warranty/service guarantees, and have a pretty flexible budget . Seeing...

Yes. See it in action in this video.

Interesting, so they plan to make it quiet by using a smaller motor, interesting.

I am somewhat confused by this announcement does it mean that the blades are attached to the frame and the whole frame moves? If so i'm not sure i see the acoustic advantage. http://www.legitreviews.com/news/12599/ The design isn't really mentioned by HOCP though http://www.hardocp.com/news/2012/03/...

Looks a lot like a squat black Mac Pro

I did wonder if I should just get some foam blocks and wedge the fan in, but would like a filter. Which is were i'd have most problems i think. But i could use a 4in3 unit, might make my build a little tidier as well. Thanks for the advice. [EDIT] Managed to find a Kama bay on ebay, did have a sligh...

Hi i wondered if you could tell me how you mounted your 120mm fan in the top drive bays, as this is something i'd really like to do with my p182. So i can get 2 air paths through my system 1 for the CPU and 1 for the GPU. Possibly using 2 Silverstone Air penetrators letting me remove my Xigmatek hea...

I'd suggest the Samsung Spinpoint F4 2TB HD204UI I have it in an external case and it's very quiet, perhaps quieter than the F1, i had that drive until it broke, i have no idea about it's performance as i have it running through USB but it's been fine for me, runs at lower speed (5400rpm) and only h...

The Fractal Design is priced at around the £80 mark: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/236437 http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Cases/MIDI+Tower/Fractal+Design+Define+R3+Black+Pearl+Gaming+Midi+Tower+Case+?productId=41375 http://www.scan.co.uk/products/fractal-design-define-r3-black-pearl-mid-to...

You may as well drop down to the Intel i5 2500K unless you have a real need for the 2600k, saves about £80 for a small power increase.

Does anyone have any experience with the HIS IceQ cooler? I have been looking at the HIS 6950 IceQ X and looking at other forum posts it sounds like the cooler in general could be a good balance between noise and cooling, for a high end card anyway. SPCR have been kind enough to produce an R3 review...

I would prefer not to have to fit an aftermarket VGA cooler mainly because it would seem like a waste to buy a decent card and then through away the cooler You could get a stock 560 or 6950 graphics card (not aftermarket cooler) for cheaper and then add an aftermarket cooler on to it. That way you ...

Wow, and there was me thinking i'd never get a reply! Never heard of the phantom model before, thanks for that might make a change. The 2GB one is tempting, i know no real point yet but i plan to keep this build for a while and upgrade it such as another 560 and better cpu, also better case cooling....

I Have "moved" this topic to system advice/trouble shooting, so could a Mod delete this. Thanks

Hi, I'm looking at putting together a quiet PC, while i would love silence its unlikely with a high end graphics card. I list my build below and i wonder if any one could suggest any improvements that would make it quieter/cooler. I am looking at Overclocking the i5 CPU to a reasonable level, at lea...

I'm looking at http://www.dabs.com/products/best-value-geforce-gtx-560ti-1gb-pci-express-hdmi-palit-7BJY.html or http://www.dabs.com/products/kfa2-geforce-gtx-560ti-1gb-pci-express-hdmi-ex-oc-7BLY.html Never heard of these manufacturers before now. Presumably these two-fan designs will be similar t...

Would an Antec p183 be a better choice or indeed the NZXT H2, although i saw an extremely scathing review of the H2, although he didn't test it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHcyWTorjdU MSI twin frozr HD6950 2GB, does seem like a good card but i've been reading quite alot about how the GTX 560 Ti ...
