I got some from http://www.geeks.com/ They cost $3.75 a piece The shipping was sort of expensive though, it cost $13 for UPS 3 day service. I've heard this with other people too, when you get them, you have align the adaptor pin1 to pin1, and then break off one of the pins so it can connect to the k...

Look at the pictures of the cards you are interested in buying on newegg. The power use will be proportional to the type of heatsink on the card. If it has a small, fanless heatsink, the power output is not high. As the heatsinks get bigger and have fans, the cards are more power hungry.

I agree, raptor is just as good as spinpoint. the only way to go if you want a quiet pc, is notebook drive. I have a notebook drive as the primary drive, and a spinpoint as an auxilary, which is set to spin down. When it spins up, my system is no longer quiet.

I bought a s12-380, which also came with a clicking fan. It was actually purchased an an experimental alternative to an Antec Phantom, under the theory that temperatures would cause less ramp up of my nexus case fan. I replaced the s12 fan with a spare Nexus 120mm. Occasionally the fan would not sta...

I also had issues with 2 x 512 MB corsair value select 400 rams giving errors with Prime95, and some general system instability. Each would work alone but not together. Its on a P4 2.6. I got tired of errors, and sold them, and got some kingston ECC ram.

Mine has been working for several monthes:
Bought from microcenter in columbus, oh.
Don't know where the serial number is, I think that requirement makes it more of a mental barrier for people with working phantoms.

good

The light was annoying, and then I covered the main source with electrical tape. It was then not all that annoying but still present. I took off the back cover (possible without touching the warrant sticker), and taped over the actual LED, and replaced the cover.

Probably really cheap, if you are feeling charitable, donate the domain, people will use it

I would definitely say, make sure the zalman is proberly mounted, and the thermal paste is new for that reseating. Its easy for the cross yoke things to not be square, and you would not notice. I am all about the 120 mm fan, I don't see why that would be worse than a smaller fan.

use the 120 mm yate loon, I have a fan bracket with a nexus over a zalman 7000 (minus its fan). It works better than the original, and quieter.

Haha I knew someone would point out that they do indeed give you one slot cover. The metal around the rear is what has bent on mine, at least it made it easy to cut off the fan gril. I guess the panels don't bend, but they didn't feel as heavy as the old antec. (I did switch from an old antec which ...

I got the centurion. It is really cheap quality compared to the antec. Its only redeaming value is it is cool, and looks cool. The metal is thin, easily bends. They don't give any io slot covers, the existing ones are snap off. The usb ports on mine didn't work, I'm still waiting on a replacement fr...

I also found the blue leds offensive. I took them both out, colored them completely with black sharpy marker, and replaced them. Now they are not hurting my eyes, but I can still clearly see them.

I run a 2.6 pentium, with old geforce 256. It has a 5 v 80mm fan on side (blowing out), and 5 v 80mm fan on back (blowing out). Using these two fans, it runs acceptably. But when using it to do FEA for work, it gets uncomfortably hot, and I opened the side up. I'm not sure how a 92mm nexus compares,...

How open is the Phantom's rear panel? I can't tell from Mike's review. From the rear panel, it is possible to see through the unit, I'm not sure what type of air resistance it is. I may play around with using a fan with it, I guess the advantage of this unit is that I will be adding the fan on my o...

I just got the Antec phantom on a whim, I had got a seasonic super silencer a while ago, and found it to be not that quiet for me (relative to a modded trupower). Rather than do a fan mod, I decided to return it to the store, and apply the credit for an antec phantom. I was running on two generic st...

Just got one at microcenter

Thanks, I was confused, I guess the 120 mm fan spins at half the rpm of the 80 mm fan.

take a standard 80 or 92 mm fan from your local computer store, or online vendor. Cut the fan out of its frame. Take the zalman fan off its metal frame. Buy some silicone glue, and glue the new fan straight onto the metal. Seems risky, but mine has not fallen off yet (been running for many monthes) ...

I just got a new seasonic super silencer 400 from microcenter. Speedfan tells me it runs at 1308 rpm. This number does not change ever (even under stress). Is that good or bad, I read some other people were getting 800 rpm, and going up to 1300 under stress. I was so proud of myself for having made ...

aluminum evercools only have aluminum frame, fans are plastic
