www.storagereview.com should help you with the search for a speedy hard drive. a western digital raptor will be faster than a 7200rpm hard drive, but you pay a premium for it, and when formatted the 74 gig version ends up about 70 gig,

i disagree lm. i use an audigy 2 zs and altec lansing mx5021, and i can hear the difference between playing my cd's straight from the drive, or as wavs, compared to even highest quality mp3. the audio, i felt, became a bit subdued and less clear once encoded to mp3. i solved this program by starting...

i started the same way as wim. bought really nice speakers and soundcard....and then realised the constant computer whirr meant the high snr wasnt much use. and then it turned into a research obsession, figuring out what would be best for my new silent computer needs. i'll soon put my money where my...

for my 2 cents worth the stacker could prove more difficult to sound dampen due to its open, grilled design, especially with a lot of noise being able to escape through the front. however it is cheaper than lian li or silverstone, so that saved money could be put towards drive enclosures like the sm...

would i need to give the reserator a more powerful pump such as the eheim 1000 to handle water cooling a hard drive?

im starting to have a few niggling doubts about the suitability of the coolermaster stacker. im likely to end up needing to purchase a 200 gig seagate, which wouldnt be the quietiest option. so would a case that is more "enclosed" than the very ventilated stacker, and with a door too like the lian-l...

Looks like i will for for the Phantom then. I'd still like the fan controller and the extra fans (i can always just not turn them on) because it gets to over 40C here in summer and a lot of the time i wouldnt be at computer so noise wouldnt be an issue. the stock fans that come with the stacker are ...
