As far as computer components go, everything looks pretty good. My only reccomendations being: I'd reccomend going with a Seasonic S12 380w or 430w, just because that way the cooling fan won't ramp up on you; With the hard drives I'd definitely go SATA even just for cable management's sake, and the ...

antec and enermax are the most respected "mainstream" psu's. seasonic just doesn't have as widespread distribution as those two, although this is changing. i've seen seasonic s12's popping up at a few local electronic stores. ditto what pretty much everyone said, get a seasonic. it's much quieter th...

Badger- unfortunately many Power Supply's do not regulate fan speed by temperature, but instead by how many watts are be outputted. Therefore, as soon as you fun Prime95, the CPU and other stuff starts using more power, and this is why the Power Supply ramps up. And overall, Antec's are not well des...

Man this thread is growing fast... Anyway, I've had a chance to test out about 6 or 7 of these things and only one dud so far (had some annoying bearing noise). At 5-7 volts these things are awesome. Comparing these to my Evercool Aluminum models, they are quieter but move less air. Both the Yate Lo...

Just wanted to chime in with a good experience from TechGems. Ordered a 10-pack of the 120mm Yate Loons on Sunday and received them today. So got them in 3 business days which is not bad at all.
