If you got another Samsung, and your motherboard supports it (which most do these days) you could always RAID 0 your two drives together for a huge 500MB drive with roughly the same performance as your previous WD Raptor. Just a thought. However, if you had 2 Raptors RAIDed together, there would be...

Okay guys right now I own both of these hard drives. The 74GB Western Digital Raptor, and the Samsung SpinPoint 250GB hard drive. The Samsung hard drive is unbelievably quiet, and I was wondering what your opinions would be on replacing the 74GB raptor with another Samsung drive. I know the Raptor i...

Very nice setup Dynamik I've got everything loaded into my system minus the PSU, and it comes in tomorrow sometime. I got the s12-600. I hope it's quiet. Anyway, I just wanted to express how cool I think your setup is and how great your cable managment is. One thing. How is your VGA cooler powered?...

Do you think the ATX12v from a S12-500 would fit under the motherboard the same as the power supply you used? No. It is too short, you would need an extension. Never saw an answer to this but would the stension have any effect on the voltage? Some people say yes, but I have no idea why would an ext...

Nice cable management, personnaly, I would have put my HHD in the lower chamber, and block hole in the back panel, just around the PSU, but that is just me. And what are the spec of your computer??

Okay guys, I finally got done completing my final tasks to make my pc, what is in audible to me. Sitting at my computer desk, with my PC about 2 feet from my ear, I cannot even tell it is running. I have to put my head right next to the PC to even be able to tell its on, or look at the power LED. I ...

Okay first of all I am loving your system... all the components you have are excellent, good choice in hardware. Now lets see... Let me start of by saying, the tray where you put the cables through for the power supply, it slides on both sides. So you can push cables through the hole on the hard dri...

I just found these 2 feedbacks on the most recent page of his ebay feedback, and thought it was funny... I guess I'm not the only one. Buyer: daywish18236qf I received the wrong item. It was accepted back but I was told to shut up Reply by tekgems: You were ranting, so I had to tell you to stop talk...

Wow! :shock: I've ordered fans from Sun Kim before and have had nothing but great service from Mr. Kim/Tekgems. You probably don't realize this but he runs the shop from his house (AFAIK) and has very little stock on-hand. Most of his deliveries are drop-shipped from a wholesale warehouse (evertek ...

D, I understand you are really mad about this, but what exactly do you want? I doubt that any vendor is going to argue with a customer on this forum. If you need fans immediately and are in the city tomorrow I have 3 orange yate loons still in packaging that you can have/trade/use. - FG I don't rea...

Quite interesting... However I would also like to hear Mr. Kim's response, as he is also registered at this forum. Oh yes let him respond... I'd like to hear it also. And I have copies of all the emails too should anyone wish to see them... Here's his response from ResellerRatings.com 7/27/05 11:57...

If it makes you feel better this is the place to complain, however I've ordered from them many times w/o any problems. Do they still have free shipping? - FG No, and prices have been jacked just like how he mentioned in the email. I guess He felt that in dealing with me, its not worth it to sell th...

Okay last week I had went to Tekgems to place an order on some Yate Loon fans, since they had them for the cheapest price. Jab-tech.com had them for a little bit more, so I decided to go with TekGems.com Well I had the worst shopping experience from this store, than I ever had from any other shoppin...

While it might look nice, wouldn't lights inside a PC contribute to heat inside the case? Just curious. LED's do not get hot. So there is no worries of it heating up the inside of the case. Neither do cold cathodes (even though I don't have any installed). Cold Cathodes are designed to run cool, I ...

Totally OT and I may be wrong, but I thought the 2 sticks of ram were supposed to be on the same color ram slot to give dual channel. :?: You are correct. Actually he is wrong... Not totally wrong, but wrong in this case. On my motherboard Dual Channel does not go by color. The memory actually has ...

Hey guys I just checked my system temps with MBM5 and MSI Core Center, and both are telling me my system is at 19C-20C and CPU is at 37-39C... Meanwhile nVidia System Utility tells me these temps..

I have a Coolermaster Real Power 450, and since the fan is a little bit louder than I'd like it to be, I'm considering replacing it with a Yate Loon D12SL-12 (47cfm/28dba) fan. Now my question is for anyone who owns this fan or knows about it. Will this work fine in my power supply? Or is 47cfm not ...

Which PSU woul you prefer to get? I am looking to replace my Coolermaster Real Power 450 with a more quiet and powerful PSU, so this way I will be more safe in the future. I was really focusing on the Antec Phantom 500, but I decided the Seasonic is also a great choice and is less money. Which would...

First of all, very good job cable routing, I like everything you've done here except the LED fans and the zalman heatsink (a Ninja could have been a potentially better choice IMHO). http://www.dynamiks.net/pics/P180/P180%20013.jpg This is a really funny pic. Instead of focusing on what's in the mid...

One more thing. I may have missed it elsewhere, but. . .how are your temps at idle and full load? I'm building a gaming rig and those numbers are pretty important to me. Not just how loud it is. Thanks! Air Condition On - 77F in my room Voltage on CPU set at 1.550V in BIOS Idle - Fan Speed High (12...

I just ordered a Sunbeam fan controller to keep the case even more quiet. Because unlike alot of people, I need my fans running at full speed alot of the time becuase I play games. So to keep it quiet all the time would require me running all the fans at 5v all the time, which is not so good for whe...

omg turn off those fan led lights unless you're gay (not that there's anything wrong with that) WTF? Are you 12 years old or something? You are calling me gay because I have LED fans. Did it ever occur to you that maybe I like them? Not everyone has the same taste. Unlike alot of people here, blue ...

Okay here are some updated pics I took today. I installed my new Zalman VF-700 VGA cooler, and it is EXCELLENT. I have it running at 5v along with the V7000B and they both are very quiet. I'm so glad to have gotten rid of that OEM 6800U cooler, that thing was insanely loud. Anyway guys enjoy the pic...

my Zalman VF700 VGA cooler came in today, I will be posting some pictures later on of it installed, for anyone who wishes to see. This thing is so quiet, my case is soooo much more quiet now that I got rid of that stock 6800U cooler.

definately. But almost any system with cabling thats very neat would be a pain to keep assembling and disassembling.
