Uhm, the easiest would be to rip the wires from the fan out of the white socket and stuff them into 5 V or 7 V in a molex plug, so they run undervolted. That's a 5 minute fix, very cheap (free as in free beer) and gives a decent result! Excellent - just the kind of thing I was looking for. Could ve...

Your post sounds incredibly lazy to me, "I don't have time to search the forum or the website, so I hope you can do it for me". A first step to get your questions answered is to search the website and the forum to see if your question has already been answered before, and in your case it has been a...

I do not have the time to research all the different strings here in this forum so I'll just ask straight out: Is there anything I can do to make my stock case fan in my Antec NSK3480 run quieter. It is FAR to noisy for me I'm afraid. I already have it at "low".... If you know of a thread or solutio...

I am soon to be the owner of the Antec NSK3480 case and I am wondering what mods can me done without too much hassle. Keep in mind that my "rig" will not be used for gaming much....

- PSU flip
- Panel swap
- Change to silicone feet

Other Suggestions ?

Does anyone have pics of this being done ?

I am very happy with my LE-sempron in 3rd computer i am using it, but DualCore X2 4000+ shouldn't be terrible much more expensive and should give more for HTPC set-up. I have same motherboard than you do and I am satisfied. Motherboard can control fan nicely, I have had no buzz coil. And the onboar...

Hi everyone and greetings from Norway ! I am going to build a htpc that will mostly be used for film and music. I am not fanatical about the film quality and do not have any HD films, they are mainly dvd rips and musicwise it's mp3. My TV is a SonyBravia 32" LCD. I am however, reasonably fanatical ...

Does anyone have this card, and if so, what do you think of it ?

I am planning to put this card in a Antec 3700BQE case, so the airflow shouldn't be a problem.

New variant of 3700AMB with improved front & back grills and side mounted HDDS like Sonata case.

Having read different threads incl. the review of the 3700BQU and it's HDD heating troubles, I am surprised that I have not seen any reviews of the 2650BQE. http://www.antec.com/images/400/SLK2650BQE_Inside.jpg Rear view of 2650 http://www.antec.com/images/400/3700BQE_Inside.jpg Rear view of 3700 As...

Which one to go for ? I am going for a system with;
1 DVD player
2 HDD
1 AGP fanless video card

It is not likely that I will add more components.

The Fong Kai is not sold by anyone in Norway unfortunately. I have been drooling over this case for some time now.

As for the SPCR recommended list; The only cases available her in Norway from the list are the Antec's and the Chenbro (yuck!).

What about the Nexus Breeze ?

Hi !
I was planning on the fanless Sapphire card and using bungee cord to suspend the drive....
I have looked through different threads on the Sonata here in the SPCR forums and with a front bezel mod the airflow shouldn't be that bad ?

What other case would you reccomend ?

It's supposed to be quiet - but what do I know ?

AMD Athlon 64 2800+
Antec Sonata
Corsair Value Select PC3200 1024MB Kit (2x 512MB)
MSI K8N Neo Platinum
Nec ND-3500 16x DVD±R9
Samsung P80 160GB 8MB S-ATA
Sapphire Radeon 9600XT 128 MB
Zalman CNPS7000B-Cu

Nice tips ! I'll order en extra fan for the PSU (cheaper than swopping the truepower).

The Sonata is similar in terms of both size and price. There are probably others, but that's the first one that popped into my head. (give it a few hours, and they'll be more suggestions here, I can almost guarantee. :lol: ) Should I then forget the Enermax PSU since most stores sell the Sonata wit...

Great !

What I really want is a Fong Kai...but getting that case in Norway is impossible....

Ok, thank you for the input. What would you recommend yourself ? What I personally like about the pc-50 is its size, smaller than a normal midi-tower...

I need help by regular SPCR forum members :wink: The last pc I bought was in 1998, and now I am buying a new system. I am not going to overclock this thing, my main concern is to get this as quiet as possible. Could you please look over the components I have chosen to see if this is any good/compati...
