IClassic question dodge. Let me rephrase it for you. If you were the President, had both houses full support (and had been democratically elected), would you (as you DO have the power), dramatically cut down on the gun ownership of your people if there was solid proof that the murder rate would hal...

This is just one product; I wouldn't write off or judge the entire brand based on this review. I have in hand a couple of very promising Seasonic-made gold & platinum 80+ PSUs from bequiet! that I'll be tackling soon. As far as the brands range of PSU's go I've never had any bad experiences, at all...

Utter manure. Be-Quiet should be ashamed of releasing such overpriced rubbish.

80% more airflow and 120% higher static pressure, impressive.

I would like to wish my fellow members a Merry Christmas.

I hope you get to have a great Christmas Holiday with family, friends, and loved ones.

No need to change it MikeC, those reading the review will understand that the view voiced (and put in the con section) was made from a personal viewpoint, not from a case functional view point.


// A well written review, and a joy to read, as always.

I don't really believe you should have "Ugly" in the cons section, it comes across as rather unprofessional. I actually find the case decent looking, if bordering on the gaudy side, and it certainly looks better than a fair few of the "gaming" style cases out there. If anything, I think the review ...

The cards aftermarket cooler options... This is what I always look at when building a system, it doesn't mean it's right for you and I'm in no way implying it is, but I feel it's a wise approach to take. No fun having spent $200 on a card to later discover that you cannot fit an aftermarket cooler o...

Nice to hear things are rolling, congratulations and welcome back!

I see no reason for why that wouldn't work. You wouldn't even have to remove the fan, simply disconnecting it should do just fine. http://www.bjorn3d.com/Material/revimages/video/Sapphire_HD6950/04.jpg Edit: I suppose you could mount three 92mm fans on there also. The fans would be within the width ...

I would like to wish all my fellow SPCR members a Merry Christmas!!

I hope you get to have a good one, with family, friends and loved ones.

I would like to see the old theme back..less is more.

The case has terrible airflow

how do you get terrible airflow with too many vents?.

For the very same reasons you would get higher temperatures after having removed the left side panel on your case. You kill the airflow.

I don't see why you would try to impose SPCR standards on any of their gaming enclosures. I don't see how you could suggest that I were imposing SPCR standards when pointing out that there were no noise reduction or dust filters on the case to begin with. Need I remind you that there are "gaming ca...

SapphireHD 5850 1GB + Zalman VF3000A Looks like a good combo, do you think that would be good for noise? Most defiantly better than stock, it should also (seeing the two 92mm fans) allow for you to keep the noise at a decent level during gaming whilst still maintaining decent temps. This being a qu...

Hi Whatever your decision is in terms of brand do yourself the favour of staying away from cards sporting the dreaded 128-mem interface, other than that it's green to go. for either brand / card. Both will be doing the job equally well at 1680x1280 resolution and should, with a few reservations, han...

There is no noise reduction here, no dust filters... no nothing - seems to me they lost the plot on this one.

You're welcome, I'm glad I could help. Good luck with your build / upgrades...and thank you.

Hi Morten If you opt for the Antec Mini P180 you will need to get a new motherboard, it does not support full size ATX boards. I would recommend you a mini ATX board from Gigabyte, one which supports up to 6GB of RAM. Reason is I would like to see you (I view this to be sound, because your CPU is st...

snip I don't think we non-believers would have too much to complain about. I have yet to see Christians bashing other faiths, such as atheists, attacking them in media and basically persecuting them. What I have seen are atheists attacking Christians and Muslims - as they did with their "draw Moham...

I let the old drunktard do the talking, he does a good job at it. No need for me to repeat and do a copy and paste regurgitation.

The pope is not only head of the Roman Catholic Church but also head of state and as such you have to pay for his visit just like you would any other head of state.

SilenX...Overall failtastic!

Sorry, simply couln't resist.

I have never used any of their products but if the smell is that bad then something could be wrong with it. I know that there often will be a certain level of smell to these kits, yes, though the few noise absorbing kits I've come in contact with has never smelt as bad as you describe this kit of do...

No wonder why so many will have this site as their first call to port before posting elsewhere, no wonder at all.
Well done Seasonic!! and hats off to Mike, such a great read / review.

Hi

You do not mention if you plan on keeping the system or if you have plans on building a new one in the near future. Perhaps you intend on keeping it, but it would be great to know about this before making any suggestions.

They seem to have listened to their customers and made some improvements in accordance to the feedback. This is a good thing.

Walle, if you've retired your Solo, what case are you using now if you don't mind my asking? I went for a P183. Main reason was that I didn't like how hot the PSU got in the SOLO, I was actually contemplating on flipping it taking up an intake and install a dust filter, but, I never got around to d...

Hi and welcome to SPCR! I think that the case from Silverstone would be the way to go here, the better purchase. You are on a budget. You are looking for a case that will last you a few years. And you do not wish to modify. I think those factors rule out the SOLO. I truly like it though, and used it...
