did you go to Friday Harbor High School?

(just wondering? )

correct

just as a little side-note here: Since I have spent the last 10 years working in hardware stores I was completely befuddled by the above reference to "melamine". Any hardware guy knows that melamine is a "plastic surface" board made with either compressed chipboard composite or plywood and that it i...

. But maybe if you attached one of those anti-static wrist straps to it, and hook it to the case, that might do the trick. ROFLMAO! But, seriously once again: NO...REPEAT: NO.....the danger of static discharge would be toooo great in this usage. I personally would run away from the idea at a fast t...

sounds great! I will send you a dozen or so used ones that I have in my kitchen "junk" drawer!

But on the serious side: Would there be any problem with static build-up? What do the "experts" think?????

lol

I will TRY to beat ya to it!!! I am going to do the Superflower 140mm.

(if I EVER get a case to put it in LOL)

Only if the fan load requirement exceeds the mobo header ability. As all fans vary and all mobos, you need to check the specs of both of yours - typically measured in mA (milli-Amps). The above is the only thing that really matters. Anything else is really just personal preferences. Unless you are ...

I'll second Ralf's comments....

As my Dad always said: "If you don't like it here, pack your bags and get your ass out"

That should be made a sticky. With a note saying that all new comers to the forum must read it first before posting! I would add: 14. You have made a radical change in lifestyle. Wearing a poorly fitted black suit, white shirt, and skinny black tie you ride around the neighborhood on a bike knocking...

I am planning to purchase that power supply. I discussed it in another thread. Nobody else here seems to have tried one. (So don't believe them if they say it will be noisy because they DON'T know!)

I will be the lab rat. I will get back to you when I finally get it.

If all else fails, you could rig up a hose to run from the portable A/C to the front fan grill of the case. :) Great idea! A little duct tape, some 4" flex dryer vent tube (Aluminum, of course!) ....strap that baby onto the computer and the AC unit and you might end up with with something worthy of...

Warned ya Phil!!!

roflmao

I personally feel that single 120 will make less noise than 2- 80's at the same rpms. Try a nice evercool Al with a bay mounted fan controller. That way when you are gaming you can increase RPMs if you start to heat up and the rest of time have it running slow to keep things quiet.

OUCH!!! You are really about to open up a can of worms there! :shock: From the discussion in other threads I know you will get comments about electrical interference (or whatever) and how it will interfere with your data transfer if you stack them like that! It would definately be EVIL of you if you...

Metaluna ... Thanks for your input! :D It seems that my post didn't draw the response I expected (in fact it almost got 'kidnapped' lol). I guess the non-modding clause threw a wet towel on it! :wink: I have decided to try the Superflower 140mm PSU for the simple reason that nobody here had an opin...

I re-read the review of the Enermax and the posts about the review here on the board. This brought a few problems to light which I might have. The sheathing on the cabling might prove to be a problem for me since I plan to mod the wiring. From another thread: I also plan to 'custom length' the PSU o...

hmmmm....

None of the info said anything about in-line voltage reduction. Sneaky lil devils. Got any pics you could post showing that?

cs: that is the unfortunate truth about ASUS boards, they under-report by several degrees (I have found it's about 6C though) I don't understand why they don't correct that fault but we just have to deal with it untill they do. :cry: Still inviting comments on the main topic, single fan PSUs, dual r...

LOL I have one sitting here on my desk! MMX166!

What a hoot!

mike, the reason I was looking at single fan units is that the Noiseblocker G2 case has 4 fans... 2 front intake, 1 rear exhaust, and 1 blowhole (all 80mm). I was thinking of modding the rear exhaust to a 120mm Al fan and reversing the flow of the blowhole fan (undervolted, same as with the 2 intake...

Quietest unmodded stable PSU for that power range: Enermax Noistaker. It'll work well. Check my review Are you referring to the 475W review? I would assume the data would be about the same? So Mike, are you of the opinion that a dual fan of this type(80/92) will be generally quieter than a 120 or 1...

cruelsister wrote: It does have 2 SATA connectors, btw- don't really know if you're going to find a PS with 4.

I realize that I will have to use 2 adapters

What model # was the Coolmax? CX or CT series?

I have decided not to use my AntecSL350 for my new system, instead I want to upgrade a bit. A new PSU would have to meet the following: Ablity to power an Athlon64 based MSI MB (ie: compliant for that form) Stable power output with low-tolerance output variance. (ie: <5%) Moderate to low noise outpu...

I was going to place this down in the 'non-silent' thread down at the bottom of the list.... but this is just tooooo classic to be tossed into the bottom drawer! Enjoy! (Those of you that enjoy 'opening things' will love this!) Defraggling Made Simple! also check out "clean your keyboard", "create a...

if you are referring to the round stuff it is standard 4" dryer duct....if you want the rectangular stuff: Never seen it in 9 years of being a buyer for a Hardware store.

Good luck

well, I don't know what you or anyone else here considers a "quiet" mouse to be, but I am using a Logitech cordless keyboard and mouse. The Keyboard is noisy just like any other normal keyboard but the mouse: I can't hear it doing anything. m/n: M-RN68 p/n: 851538-0000 either I am deaf, the mouse is...

Now! Now!

We all know that Ralf is a skin diver and he just buys them because when you wear them they make it easier to slip a wetsuit on and off!

Right????



right?

not meaning to sound stupid...but:

I really need to get an external model drive. Is this: external a good deal or should I shop around? I have been waiting for the dual format burners to drop down in price.
