Just thought I post a tip. I bought the S183 for it was the only SATA DVD-burner I could find. Haven't really used it until last night. IT´S QUIET!!! The case was open so there was nothing between the dvd and my ear. I could hear it but barely. Nothing annoying sound. I was burning DVDs at the mome...

Welcome to SPCR!

Why so many HDDs? If there is any fans in that case I bet they need to be replaced

For DVD i can recommend Samsung SH-S183. Rather short, has SATA and suprisingly quiet

Build a case in wood

How about using window screening -- insect screening -- a couple of layers perhaps? That would create smaller holes than in grids I've seen that would block approximately gigahertz or cellphone frequencies. I don't speak with any authority on this -- just throwing out an idea. The quote was "Most d...

The wavelength of EM radiation at 2GHz is 15cm (6"), and 1MHz gives 300 metres, but I'm not sure how much smaller it has to be (wikipedia says "significantly smaller") That far? I assumed it was nano-size. Anyone know specificly about the length a compter is putting out and how much that's in "norm...

AFAIUI the shield should have no holes in it larger than the wavelength of the radiation it is trying to contain/protect against. http://www.cv.nrao.edu/~rfisher/Papers/rfi_sumschool.ps The spectrum of RFI from computers and other digital equipment is a mixture of narrow and broadband emissions wit...

Where is the thing you are trying to shield in this diagram? It's not there. I am asking about how the shield can be constructed rather than the shielded object. Am I explaining it good enought? It's a tower case out of wood. Each side will probibly not be connected to eachother unless it's very ne...

Thanks

Is it enought to get a faraday cage effect if I put wire on each side in a slalom-way with ~1cm between like this: And does the sides have to be connected?

Edit: Fixed the drawing, looks very weird in the message but proper when posted

Can you run the computer safely without the panel? Would be intresting to see the effects in numbers, primary temperatures then

Could you give us your impressions of the Noctuas vs the S-Flex fans? I myself find the Noctuas to have a weird buzz from certain angles but at ~800 or less they almost silent while still pushing a fair amount of air. They make a rough sound at max speed but at max speed I don't care 'cause I be ga...

Why spend money on a thing that is easily fixed with some cardboard and tape for free?

I didn't plan a passively air cooled case just because I didn't have around a fan to downvolt. hihi you didn't? :-P The more challanging the more fun. As I stated, it's very impressive build. And I'll look forward to that venturi tunnel. [quote"jaganath"]Well, technically anything with moving parts...

A totaly passive computer is technically very impressive. But with a fan at 5V you get so much bether result and yet it's silent. So it's more a bragging right than needed thing

But impressive build non the less. Nice to see a woodcase
My next fully positiv airflow will be ready in 1-2 weeks

Hehe, if you knew how many ideas I have, but oh so little time... and space...

Try to settle for 1 idea and finish it
I'm on my third case since I started...this spring
But ok, your case is nicer tho[/quote]

- Should I wait for the new Antec P182 case? That case will not be for sale for 2-3 months or something like that. I saw some post about it. Any specific features you want that P182 has that P180 doesn't? That can't be modded then ;-) - Will I be able to run without the Antec fan in the power suppl...

Just 1 or 2 years and it'll be ready?
Looking nice

That was put on "Auto" but I guess that feature didn't work that well
I'll test some more, thanks

I was looking at buying Noctua fans, but it seems there are issues with them when it comes to restrictions

What issues? I have 2 Noctuas and 2 S-flex (all on 1200rpm) and 1 Ninja-plus-fan (some Adda)

Finaly got myself a Scythe Ninja and thought I'll try to overclock my cpu a bit. It works fine at 3.5Ghz (Prescott 3Ghz), nice temps anyway. But now I've noticed artefacts in games. How can that be? My graphic isn't overclocked at all

Found this review and saw the temps and I had to post it. I find it rather fun and a good example of more doesn't always meen bether:

I was considering an U22 but their lack of customer support (not answering emails) made me go NeoHE. I'm very happy for that now

According to Bjorn3D the "Etasis ET850" PSU is quieter than the Seasonic S12-600. It's not a good sign that bjorn3D's noise results are not the same as SPCR, SPCR measured the S12-600 @ 25dBA @ 200W, but they are saying 35dBA?? That's like twice as loud. Seems to depend on ambient noise. See Madshr...

Seasonic is more expensive becourse the quality is so much bether, NOT becourse the fansize.

I was acctually looking for a report-button on that specific thread

Massive...

Impressive modding work

If it's only the fins that causes a problem they are easy to modd to fit. Just cut of some where it's needed

Just a thought

I built a computer with Asus M2NPV-MX that controlled the fans perfectly as well. Can you elaborate? Can you set the speed in BIOS? Are there only presets or you can do it detailed like with the FanEQ? With the FanEQ you can set manually for each and every fan header how it should behave, what is t...

Yea but he seemed to have stabilityproblems as well.

Find a PSU that runs the computer stable and then modd it for watercooling might be an option
