Re: Single Platter 500GB 2.5" Hard Drive?
Well I got the 320 GB single platter Hitachi drive and while it is inaudible at idle it has a fairly pronounced seek sound that I can't stand. So it is most likely going back to Newegg and I'll be getting something else.

Re: Single Platter 500GB 2.5" Hard Drive?
Hi, I have a WD Scorpio Black 7200rpm drive in my laptop and while it is nice and fast it's not that quiet. Audible whoosh from the spinning platters. The 5400rpm Scorpio Blue's are much quieter. Regards, Seb I tried a 500 GB WD Blue (BEVT) drive in my MacBook Pro and did not keep it there it becau...

Re: Silent case
I have a system in my sig housed in an Antec p182. It is very very quiet and runs cool enough. The only thing I can hear is the video card when the fan ramps up but there is nothing you can do about it.
I'd pick a p183 from your list.

Re: Single Platter 500GB 2.5" Hard Drive?
The only 500 GB single platter drive I was able to find recently was the 500 GB Hitachi. I wasn't able to find it available anywhere so I ordered a 320 GB from Newegg. It is in transit and I should get it sometime next week - hopefully I will remember to come back here and post my impressions.

Upgrade P182 to...
Hello all, My current gaming system is living in a P182 and it's working great. It is very quiet despite running an overclocked Core2Quad (Q9400 @ 3.8 Ghz), 2 hard drives and an NVidia GTX 260. I've got a 12cm based tower heatsink (some Ninja model) and 2 800 rpm S-FLEX fans running at 7v. I'm plann...

Opinions on Antec DF-85?
Hello all,
I wonder what SilentPCReview thinks about the Antec DF-85? I don't expect it to be silent but I wonder if it's a decent case. I'm enjoying my 182 and it's a great case and pretty quiet.
Thanks!

I am not sure that 430W PSU will be sufficient and even if it will be, it will be loud as it will be running at high load. Get something like a Seasonic 600W PSU and it will be quieter. Regarding memory, if you want 4GB then you need a 64-bit OS and realistically it means Vista. Vista is a fine OS b...

Thanks for help everyone this is what I did: 1. Went to local electronics store http://www.vetcosurplus.com/ and purchased 2 Zalman fans for $10 total. Fans appeared to be FB123, or exactly the same fans as I had on the HSF, just the frame was different 2. Cut out the frame on the new fan and glued ...

How to fix a fan on Zalman 7000Cu?
Hello all, One of the blades on my Zalman 7000Cu fan broke and now the fan is resonating and shaking the whole case :shock: What can I do to fix this? I've already asked Zalman for a spare fan but they are silent so far. Can I fit another fan there or what should I do? I don't want to buy another HS...

Help with low frequency vibrations
Hello all, I'd appreciate if you could help me troubleshoot the behavior of my machine. It is a "Ralf reference design", 3700AMB with 120mm fan @5v in the back, cool and quiet Celeron 2.4 Ghz and nice Fortron 300W PSU. It also has 3 hard drives (2x160GB Seagate 7200.7 and 1x200GB Seagate 7200.7) tha...

I have both the case and the Rheobus. I'll try to measure tonight. If I had to guess I'd say that it won't fit - the door it thick on that case. Also, I have Antec 3700 and much prefer it to the Trinity - Trinity has thinner metal and is in general cheaper made - the only reason I have it is because...

The reason why Win2000 is not recommended is because it does not know that one of the CPUs is "virtual". Only WinXP and above knows that if you have a HT-enabled CPU then there is 1 "real" CPU and 1 "virtual" CPU and it schedules accordingly. Win2000 thinks there are 2 "real" CPUs and so scheduling ...

As someone who actually owns a Celeron (but no P4 here) I can say that my Celeron [email protected] Ghz is somewhat equal to my AMD 2000+. So I guess P4 2.4 would be faster, esp. if you can o/c it.

The controversy is that a particular CPU can be vastly superior on a particular WU if it supports a particular instruction set (like SSE). If it does not then it runs in "compatibility mode" which is much slower. Like running Windows under Linux or something. Can't be good. And since I'm forced to d...
