The 1500rpm medium speed will start at 5v (from the review of the scythe mine cpu cooler), so I would think the 2000rpm high speed would as well, I am just curious as to how fast the 2000rpm fan would run at 5v as i do not have a fan controler and a simple 5v 12v toggle would be fairly easy if I wan...

What is the RPM of a 100mm scythe kaze-jyu (High speed) at 5v? I would like to use one as an intake for my NSK3480 so my pasive 8600gts will stay cooler.

So what card would be better? If I opt for a card that comes with a passive stock cooler, should I still opt for the special BorgFX® VGA cooler or will the card's passive stock cooler be cooling sufficiently in the HFX Classic case it'll reside in? (I'll probably add an under-volted low-speed 92mm...

I noticed that you mentioned a GUP fan and i was wondering what GUP you have? Many stock GPU coolers are not quiet. After you undervolt your case fans that may be the next culprit.

you could just use your case fans as exaust fans. if you duct from the back of your cases to the bathroom then the heat will never build up in your closet. you will not need a intake vent because the floding doors on the closet will let in enough air to vent the case.

The WD GP is avalible in 500 GB and the prices on newegg are the same as other hard drives. I am not sure how widely avalible the 500 GB model is though.

That silverstone case looks great, but I think the 80mm fans in the back would be harder to get quiet than the 120mm fans on the fusion. I also like the silicone grommets for the hard drive in my nsk2400. you may want to look at the Western Digital Green Power Drives. They are much quieter since the...

I saw on wikipedia's list of future intel core 2 processors that there may be a 45nm Core 2 Duo E7200 that will be 2.53 GHz, 1066 FSB and 3MB L2 cache at a wholesale price of $133. The projected release date is April-May.

For a motherboard you could go with the Asus P5E-VM HDMI. It has been reviewed by SPCR and you may not need a graphics card later if you don't plan on gamming. A less expensive board with an Nvidia chipset would be the Gigabyte GA-73PVM-S2H. With the CPU you are getting these motherboards should eas...

The from Intel's specs it looks like the Intel D201GLY2 does not support over 1gb of ram.

The pci card shold have enough bandwidth to import your high def videos. The HDV bitrate is 3.1MB/s and the firewire bit rate is 400Mb/s = 50MB/s. The imported file on your computer may not actually be pixilated, it may be that your CPU and GPU cannot play the high def video. Try saving the file to ...

I would agree that you may not need built in firewire on the mother board. Especially since you already have a pci firewire card. The faster processor and larger ram should make the firewire card work just fine. you may want to look at the gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L. It has less features than most of the ...

Will the hybrid SLI work with my MSI 8600GTS and my Intel DG33BU with a driver update or will it only be on the new cards?

You may want to look at the ASUS P5L-VM 1394.
It is less expensive, but will be much less upgradeable later.

I was looking up the specs of the BTF95 and was confused because Zerotherm lists the deminsions as 108(L) X 81(W) X 128(H) mm (5.04 X 3.19 X 4.25 inch), but 128mm converts to 5.04" NOT 4.25", so is the height 5.04" or 4.25". I would like to put this cooler in an Antec NSK2400 with a intel BOXDG33BUC...
