Anyone got a feedback on this one please ?
it's just too bad it doesn't fit 80mm fans...

Sure if your disk doesn't fail during the first 3 years then it will probably be ok for the next 2 as well, But when you compare a 1 year warranty with a 5 years one, which drive do you trust more ? Free data recovery would be great, but it's just too expensive, so I guess a warranty extension is al...

Just to let you know, might be useful for someone. II ordered an 1/8e sorbothane sheet from McMaster (could find any retailer in Europe, even asked Sorbothane UK but they couldn't help me). the sheet costs about 4 €, and shipping was about 15 € more (total 20 €). anyway can't wait to install my hdd ...

Thank you for your answers. If it cools as well as the 7000, I think I'm gonna buy this one, as you say Neil it takes less room, plus it makes it really easier to duct. As for the fan, I'll now have to find one quiet enough and with enough airflow to cool an athlon64 3200+. Any idea about cfm needed...

Anyone got a feedback on this one ? http://www.frozencpu.com/cgi-bin/frozencpu/cpu-alp-04.html They say it's for opteron, but if it fits on socket 754 it should be ok... and I don't remember seeing any other HS suited for suck mode, or am I mistaken ? It could enable to adapt bluefront's stealth duc...

Ok, anyway I've still got a month or so before I buy all my stuff (even though I might buy the case (BQE) earlier to take it apart a bit and see what mod I can do before all's installed. So I'll wait for your review, and stick (for the moment) to the Zalmann 7000 in my shopping list ;) EDIT : I chan...

I just saw on Thermalright's site that the SLK948U fits on Athlon64 too, that might be what's changed sinced the 947 (because of the "neo" backplate ?). Since I'm gonna buy my main comp with an athlon64 in about a month, has anyone any feedback on this ? And since that Atlhon64 3200+ is quite power ...

Nice plan Project :) I'm going to buy my comp in a month or so with about the same config as you (athlon64 and his x800 iceq2), but I chose the antec bqe instead of the sonata mostly because of the 2nd removable side panel which will help for cablegami and mods (psu duct for example). Anyway I'm rea...

Yes, today his released their X800 Pro Iceq2...

seems really nice.
Now I'm waiting to see its price

I was already planning a fan swap for the psu... so you're saying it's necessary for the fan case too ? Ok, I'll try and tell you how it is for me (the compe will be just in front of my bed at head size). I don't think I'll get another motherboard though, it's going to be a linux server supposed to ...

Hmm thanks for the advice I think I'll go for the SP97 then, maybe it's a bit too much for a duron 700 which isn't going to be overclocked but with a Papst 8412N/2GLE it should keep very cool 'n quiet. and won't move. Do you guys recommend me a fanmate too, so I can precisely adjust noise to my need...

I'm planning to buy the Logitehc di novo in a month or so partly because a friend told me "it feels like a notebook keyboard"...and the mx900 isn't too different from your mx700 I think...
the main prob is it's price a little over 200 € here

thanks for the advice, partocularly since you're THE reference for cablegami, it seems :wink: Anyway I'll buy my config most probably at the beginning o july, so I'lll ask for more advice before then ;) my objective is a very quiet pc (must be on when I sleep) with perf enough to play latest games.....

I'll have to make a choice for a case in a few weeks too...
So you're all saying the BQE is better than the sonata ?
I'm starting to feel the 2nd removable side panel is important too, particularly concerning "cablegami" and maybe dasman's neat psu duct.
Can you confirm this pls ?

I just got my hands on a duron 700 with biostar motherboard (with holes for HS), and on the "recommended HSF" I didn't find the Thermalright SP97, although it has been reviewed. I'm planning to make this a server runing 24/7 juste beside my bed, so I really need something silent, and I wonder wich i...

cool, I'm in top 100
feels good to be on 1st page
now let's see how high I can get

Seems there's a new version of the Hush mini itx, with optionnal 2nd 3"5 hdd or 4*2"5.
Any possibility of a coming review, by chance ?

Ok thanks

Is the SX2 Pro the same as SX2 ?
On the site where I buy fans (http://www.pc-look.com/boutik/Cat_Refro ... 40_91.html)
, there's only the SX2 with 34dB nominal... is that one ok at 5V ?

I've been reading about sonata mods for a while, but today I juste read a few articles on SPCR about fan choice and airflow... I am wondering if having unbalanced pressure in a case (ie too positive or too negative) will impact the fan(s) noise... Is having a 80mm S3 noiseblocker intake in front (lo...

You're right, no slowdown on comp whend running f@h console...
I'm running it at service now coz the minimized console bothered me...works like a charm.
I recommend it, here's the howto:

I'm testing those with the screensaver, seems to work even if windows first switched my screensaver to "none". (I added the flags in the registry).
Anyone tried this before ?
I think a sticky about those flags would be useful, too ^^

Nooooooo
not when I just had to give up 4 procs to a friend who just started his team
But I won't give up so easily !

I know I know... :p
anyway my main concern is the race with Olos,
and I should reach "top 155" within 10 days
*goes to find some more idle computers to vampirise*

Cool, I'm already in top 200...
now aiming for top 100, and fighting with Olos who might get in front of me if I'm not careful

Hello, I've been reading about sonata mods for a while (I don't have one yet but plan to buy one in the next few weeks), and I wonder if anyone has tried to make some kind of air duct between the "ANTEC" holes on sidepanels and the psu. Since anyway Antec says those holes are mainly for psu cooling,...

I've been reading quite a few articles on this site for weeks now, so when I found about your folding@home team I decided to help.
At the moment I'm folding@work actually, but in a few weeks I'll make myself a good comp thanks to all the things I read here, and it'll fold too
