Well on the page of endpcnoise.com is an image which states that they ship internationally. So you can probably order there when you want the P180 SPCR edition. The P180 looks so damn nice. I'm tempted to buy one- But on the other hand I wanted to build a case by myself so the P180 has to wait a lit...

You guys should check out this review: http://www.fan-x.de/testkcpu001_1.htm He compared the TT Sonic Tower, the TR XP-120 and the Titan Vanessa L-Type. In the other review on that page he made a review of the Noiseblocker Cool Scraper, also a nice cooler. It's made by a member of silenthardware.de/...

@MikeC: Well I don't need the power of the 500 Watt version, but the high efficiency is very tempting. That's why I wanted to buy the 400HT with the Yate Loon SM12. I noticed that the Adda is more quiet than the B12 but from the measurements between the SM12 and the Adda it looked like it would be a...

Wow... 85% efficiency that's nice. I agree with you Green Shoes, I'm dissapointed too with the fan change. I wanted to buy the 400HT but it seems that it won't be imported to germany. So perhaps I buy the S12 500 and change the fan. After the fan change you "have" to do it with all other S12 PSUs an...

I think the Seasonic S12 is the better choice. With all the heat produced by both GTs and the CPU an additional fan is nice. When you take the Phantom, I don't think you can cool that all with only the Nexus in the back, at least not quit. But that's just my opinion. When you consider buying the Pha...

The advantage is that you don't have a pwm fan controller so no pwm related noises from the fan. The downside is that you onl...

You can also use a heatsink but why not use the case when it works out. @Bluefront: Nice heatsink for a NB, works probably great when you have the room for it, but unfortunately nforce4 NB is so stupidely placed.

It's not a Nexus up front, Thermaltake just copied the orange color and made their own fan. The orange Thermaltake fans sound nowhere near as good as the orange Nexus 120mm, or any other Nexus for that matter. Well it can't be the Nexus because it's a 80mm intake fan. And the Nexus 80mm is not oran...

The packaging doesn't look very good. When you ship with DHL (or Deutsche Bundespost, it's the same) they charge you 17€ or even 22€ for the package. But that's not an excuse for the poor packaging.

Well like the others said, it looks like a memory problem.
Try Memtest86 for a couple of hours if the memory produces any errors.
From what I've heard A64 has often problems with memory.

Yes I know, I have already seen a couple of them. But I think with a tower cooler, it's easier and also more efficient. The air doesn't have to make a turn and ,as cansan said, you have a cleaner airflow, just from the front straight to the back. There are no fans which disturb the airflow. And when...

From what you can see on the picture two HTs might fit, but I'm not too sure about that. Check out my system, I used a HT-101, perhaps you can see if...
