Oooo and how about a pic?



This is my current setup, looks super sexie dosent it? Only thing is the case as you can see is quite embarrasing

Thats the only best pic i have atm :/ ill take some clearer pix soon.

yeah you were spot on there goose, you sound like a watercooler too! in my experience once you get air flowing through the radiator (which will cool the processor) you dont really need to cool anything else so even if the air coming off the radiator is slightly hotter, it wont matter terribly much. ...

Hi guys, im after 2 160gb samsung SATA drives for a raid0 setup but i cant find them anywhere in the uk! HELP!

Their model number is SP1614C

I dont want to have to buy seagate drives instead :/ or even the noisy maxtors!

radiators and radiator fins are very delicate and can be dented easily, thats why the majority of people mount them inside the case. Also theyre somewhat bigger then they look and it wouldnt fit very well toward the back, which leaves the only sensible layout of having it at the front, sucking air i...

Ive decided to buy a 3700BQE when they come out in england whenever that is to put my watercooled computer in, im going to gut the hideous drive cage assembly as its silly and that is where my radiator needs to go (very hanily infront of the 120mm fan hole too!) The thing is i need somewhere to put ...

Interesting points.

Yes i ha ve thought about the silentdrive route but i realise very quickly it isnt possible as im quite poor and they cost alot! not to mention i'd need 2 of them!!!

very nice job!

Wow thats a very nice project youve got there! Nice writeup too.

Yeah, get a watercooling enclosure for it, seals it off very tightly and is great for cooling. i watercool myself

Also could anyone who has got these cases just tell me exactly how much clerance there is at the front of the case (the gap between the bottom of the case and the Floppy bracket thing) From the case floor to the lowest point on the 3.5" FDD cage is 7.75" (196.85mm). Thanks Ralf, which case is that ...

Simply put, accoustically, how would a 2HD raid array affect the accoustics of my computer. Someone told me that if there are 2 sound sources making exactly the same frequency sound next to each other, the effective sound output would be a lot more.

Do you guys have any experience with the SATA versions? Im hoping to buy 2 SATA hard drives very soon (for raid config) and am in the process of deciding too. It looks like samsung have SATA versions of their P80 drives, Sound-wise which would be louder the 120gb's or the 160gb's im not 100% sure bu...

...The other weird thing about the SmartDrive2002. When I recieved it, the package-- and no, I am not making this up-- smelled ever-so faintly of fish... ... which may explain why many users put barracuda's in them. :D :D 8) ROFL! Could anyone who owns a smart drive kindly tell me what the wire cle...

how about we choose a server more well known and mainstream and also quicker such as quakenet, they have multiple servers worldwide.

as a watercooler+overclocker prime95 gets my vote!

q-tec 550W from ebuyer.com at £20, ive got it and modded the fans on it to 7V. its gold too!

Is there a SPCR irc room?

Thanks for welcome! As im going for silence my watercooling setup is awesome. Fanwise, a single 120mm fan on just 4-5v (rheo controlled) is all i have in there, its attached to the radiator and gives me full load temperatures of about 37 deg C with a heavy overclock. At idle it floats around 32-34 d...

that website and web board is useless!

im thinking of getting some SATA hard drives, will the connectors fit if i use a smart drive 2002? the SATA power connector is particularly akward as its quite wide.

Will the zalman passive gfx heatsink thing fit the new ati radeon 9600xt?

Thanks

why are your hard drives upside down?

Hi im getting a new case soon to house my watercooled setup and have been waiting for that perfect case to come out for ages, finally antec have struck gold! The sonata and the 3700bqe look perfect but to get everything to fit inside i would need to remove those hard drive cages, are they removeable...
