Re: SSS Rig: Mark I
How's the on board audio with the A8N SLI Premium? Won't you get even more gaming performance with an audio card? I think you should leave the PSU holes at the back of the case open if you have the PSU chamber fan running. No harm experimenting, I guess. If you're going to open up the S12, you may w...

I posted the photo of the case thumbscrew for you in the other thread. Unfortunately I can't find my VGA duct right now, so hopefully someone can answer that. I think the PSU duct has thumbscrews as well. Any thumbscrew should be threaded 6-32. AFAIK only Lian Li uses M3 thumbscrews. Perhaps this im...

Aleksi, the P180 grommets are much softer (and thicker) than the EAR grommets (I have both). Which probably means they're more fragile as well, and we have to wait and see how well they stand the test of time. But they definitely isolate better than the EAR grommets - I tried both on the sleds in my...

Oh yeah I know that! :) I was merely stating that the .99 PF PSU's are *usually* more efficient because they put more quality components in in order to maintain not only the PF but also to meet the stricter guidelines. Actually in a few of the PSU reviews on this site, MikeC mentioned that active P...

Mar, you're not being very helpful today - this is the second such post I came across :-) grenadier, you need open corner fans for these to work. Note that the "rubber screws" are not symmetrical.

There are two plastic tabs near the top of the filter. Push them down (1/8"?) at the same time and then pull the filter forward. The bottom will still be latched. Lift it up. The tabs get stuck sometimes and you can't push them down. Wriggle them a little. Try removing the other one to see how its h...

Hi Lenny, one DIMM with or without the CPU? PSU fans spins happily even without the chip. I'll try the goat sacrifice - is it worth waiting for a full moon or is that just simple superstition?

Well, other than the obligatory goat sacrifice (followed by reading of the entrails) you might want to try booting up with only one stick of DIMM (read the manual on which slot to put the DIMM in). You may need the latest and greatest BIOS for it to recognize your CPU, and booting up with one stick ...

Re: Sonata II and Noise on HD Access
I replaced my moderately noisy old case with a Sonata II. It's much quiter, except hard drive accesses are very resonant and bassy, sorta like a modified v8 Camaro idling in a parking garage. (Hmm...didn't know Antec made mufflers :mrgreen: ) Are there any case mods take care of this noise? Did you...

The 300W Fortron with the 120mm fan is a good choice for the spare PC if you don't want to spend too much on a PSU, and if you're happy with your Nexus. This is assuming they're still decent and easily available + inexpensive in Sweden. I had mine powering a more power hungry setup than your spare m...

As you probably discovered by now, bashing MikeC is not a good idea on this forum. If you insist on doing it, however, you should get the facts straight at least. He's running a 3500+ on a dfi board first of all. Either that chip needs to be a 3000+ or that mobo needs to be an asus premium coupled w...

Thanks a lot for the help. What do the memory chips look like though, and are they on the front or back of the card? Look for 8 identical chips, squarish or rectangular (can't remember on my 9800 Pro), around the GPU, 4 on each side of the card. If still unsure, google for the part # on the chip. C...

Not sure where you're located, but if you have a Fry's Electronics nearby, they might have some. The nylon housing is $1 per 10 pack, and pins are $1.50 per 50 pack.

You're welcome. I have no idea why Antec omitted a case speaker, or why they didn't include that $1 speaker. In the volume they'll buy it at, it'll probably cost them 10 cents, if that much. I haven't bought many > $100 cases, but the couple others I have always came with speakers. There's even one ...
