Hello I though it might be a good idea to make this seeing as my VGA Temps drop by about 5-7c when I open the side of my case. But instead of drawing it and asking for options I made it instead. Any who here it is. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d155/Fat_bloater_dave/VGA%20Duct/Fangone.jpg First ...

do u have any feel for noise level coming out of an open vent about two feet by 3 inches in a left side pannel (the tjo7) with two 120mm fans in front of two rapotrs with the fans right next to the mesh. Depends wich fans you are useing, i would say though that one 120mm fan would be ample to cool ...

Fat_bloater_dave

Yes i Have a Good idea for a case. A much loved favorite arround here is the Antec P180, It is pretty much what all the hip people are useing these days ;) Eather that or the Antec P150. Take your pic. There are reviews for Both of them here on this website For the Antec P180 Look Here and Here For ...

Ok well i consider myself burnt. Obvously its not a good thing.

No one look its all bad

Fat_bloater_dave

Ok well obvously i wrong, but its better than spending loads of time trawling arround the net looking for the same "wattages" or even worse just guessing how much power your computer is going to draw. And ontop of that i would have thought giveing the result as the highest posible Wattage your compu...

Fat_bloater_dave

Hey im shure other people have seen this Wattage Calcuator before but this is the best one i have seen. Maby you could put a link to this somewhere on the site because i see lots of people thinking that they need 500W/600W power supplys with there new comptuers, this might convince them otherwise.

Fat_bloater_dave

You could trying going for 2 Low power external PSUs that would help alot. Here is a PSU Wattage Calculator

They are correct to warn you chile. Run while you still have your sanity and cash.

Fat_bloater_dave

Remove the tapes and use cable ties! If you need to change anything in 6 months, you'll spend hours cleaning the residue they leave behind. :wink: An advice from the lazy and anal: Never do something that will later make you work to undo! Well i would but. A) useing cable ties wouldnt help unless i...

Fat_bloater_dave

Really nice setup, The Temps are impressive, and very believable, because I have pretty much the same although im not OCd quite as much.

Fat_bloater_dave

Realy nice setup, but if you can stop at it being quiet you are a better man than me, if you keep comeing back to this website you wont be able to stop. Its gotta be Silent man.

Anyway as i said, looks good and your happy, so nice one.

Fat_bloater_dave

Well I have taken the advice of people who commented here and have improved the Cable management and silenced my 200GB 3.5” HD. Firstly I have silenced my HD by taking it out putting it into my Homemade External HD Caddy which I have put into the room the other side of my back wall, lucky a few year...

Fat_bloater_dave

How did you get the bottom drive cage off. I have a Xaser III (a 7 fan beast, which i've reduced to 5) and it seem like getting that bottom cage off would increase the airflow from the 2 intake fans. Sorry mate bad news, When i put my new components in i got the out the drill and drilled out all th...

Ive got a 4pin molex splitter. So ive plugged that into the power cable that comes with the USB to IDE kit and plugged one into the HD and one into the Fan.

Fat_bloater_dave

What hard drive is that, by the way? WD2000JD? What's the noise like? Does it run cool? Nope its a WD2000BB i would say idle its pretty quiet but i would say not quiet enough, its about the same volume as a 12V nexus i think. But seeking i can hear it over my music if its quite low. and yeh its pre...

Fat_bloater_dave

Ah, lovely! Is there any ventilation gap underneath the hard drive? Personally, I would have used spare standard fan screws to mount the fans rather than waste zip-ties, but hey, it's your money. At least I see that you've halved the number of zip-ties wasted. (Yes, I am THAT cheap.) I think you mi...

Fat_bloater_dave

I brought an enclosure called the Icybox which for some reason didn’t work which really pissed my off, so I was going to by another one and I saw a USB to IDE connector on EBay so I decided to make my own and here it is. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d155/Fat_bloater_dave/HD%20caddy/Picture001.j...

Fat_bloater_dave

realy nice work, ive been thinking about getting the P150 but it takes a while for my to spend that much cash (im cheep). it all looks so attractive, not all full of duct tape like mine.

Fat_bloater_dave

Thats a Realy nice build, i keep on thinking about getting the P180 then remembering how much money it costs.

Fat_bloater_dave

Wow thats briliant, nice work. now if only i could be bothered to make something like that for my case. would give me more storeage space ontop of my comptuer

Fat_bloater_dave

Does anyone know where i can get one of these in the uk? ive been looking arround for a bit but cant find one.

Fat_bloater_dave

I have clipped my Nexus 120 onto my thermalright XP-120 without cutting the flanges off. And the other day i took it out for a LAN party and it didnt fall off, so i would say yeh its fine. Infact i remember, i have a load of pictures, and yes one of them does show how it looks. http://i35.photobucke...

Fat_bloater_dave

Greetings, Have you tried plugging the PCIe adapter into two separate "legs" of the 12v supply? Or switching both over to the other 12v leg? hello there, yes i have tryed it on 2 diffrent legs at the same time, thats what its on at the moment, but i havnt tryed it on eath of them on there own, ill ...

Thanks to you both, im gonna try and get hold of another drive quiter anoying as it is.

Does anyone know of where to get one of these in the UK?

Fat_bloater_dave

You really must sort your cables out, not just because it looks, as you say, like there is a family of rats nesting in there, but also because it is probably impacting negatively on your airflow. You see I thought about that and I guess it might help some, but really I don’t think I need too I mean...
