I recently won a S-Flex D (800rpm) on ebay.

Quite impressed with it (it is quiet IMO) and fortunately thank God doesn't make the clicking noise.

Only problem - it doesn't start at 5v or 6v. I might use it to cool a Ninja Rev B or just stick a GlobalWin NCB undervolted to 5v.

Hi amjedm, as far as I can see the shipping costs to the UK are 13,10 euros. It will take 2-4 days to deliver the package. I have sold 2 new ones so far, I'll reserve the used one for you if you are still interested. Please can you confirm it comes with all the bits? Also, what payment method do yo...

Any idea how much the postage will be to the UK (please)?

I'm after the used one (if still available) subject to shipping cost.

Thanks

EPCN is a US company and their price is US$80 -- which works out to £57.

I Currently have an Antec NeoHE in the lower chamber of the P180 and I think that type of PSU (80mm fan) is really made for the P180. As I gave up trying to make my system silent :D, I'm not sure which is the noisiest component in my P180, pretty sure it's not the NeoHE. If you go for the NeoHE and ...

Thanks for the quote, I did have another quick look at the review but didn't see that bit.

The PSU I'm currently using is the NeoHE which only has 80mm fan so I'll have to use the lower chamber fan.

Acoustipack V1 or V2

Just wondering which one to go for (Deluxe V1 or Ultimate V2) to dampen a P180?

The version 1 looks like a tried and tested item but not too sure on the version 2.

Thank you.

It will probably keep your hard drives a little cooler and help your psu but if its noisy or you have no hard drives down there then I would say remove it.

P180 PSU Chamber Holes/Vent Advice

I was using an Enermax Noistaker (with both fans removed) in a P180 with the chamber fan doing the PSU cooling so blocked off the vents/holes around the PSU compartment so all air would exit via the PSU.

Did you ever put a fan in front of the lower HD cage? There is a thread here about removing the metal 'cage' attached to the front lower grill. Once removed you can put a 120mm fan there.

Some people block off the top vent of the P180 - I suppose you would be doing the same with it under a desk? I'm not a fan of the Cosmos, too expensive and don't like the HD mounting in the original case. I have an Akasa Eclipse (well the Globalwin version) and P180. Easier to work inside the Eclips...
