I would suggest Seasonic S12 500 watt, get the new updated model. It does get warm, but still pretty rock solid. The only thing that might be problem is the length of the wire. Can't really hear the noise. Tomshardware just stress tested Seasonic S12 600watt, check it out at http://www.tomshardware....

I own 2 Diamond Max 10, and 2 Max LIne III 300 gb drive. I have to say they are extremely quite, can't hear the difference between them. However, Maxline III comes with 5 years warrenty which is the better drive to get IMO, since they are in the same price range around US200.

hehe I hear your concern. I hate dust as well, but I don't think even the TJ03 is good enough to seal all the dust. As long as there are holes, I think dust is inevitable. Silverstone should of updated this case into a 120mm case, I dunno what they are thinking when they design it. You will end up s...

Hi Nice system u got here! Question: How loud is the OCZ 520 PS? Can you hear it within 1 feet? What if you load high power applications and would it become louder? Thanks ^.^

Very nice clean look!!! Congrad! :) How about the noise level and system temperature? Also try testing some online game or run application with high power loading and see if it will freeze, I am having freezing problem with similar build.

I thought I heard that Phantom 500 is coming out from somewhere, or maybe It was just rumor? :? Phantom 350 is defintely not enough for all these components. I had a sudden freeze in game the other day, so I have to search for a new PS. According to the ASUS site, http://usa.asus.com/products/mb/soc...

Hmm I never see anything like the T balancer before :P It would be nice t have a simple fan controller that operate 5 fans and matches the silver panel. I did a bit of research on why there are freezing problems, it turns out It could either be not enough power, or power outlet surge problem. The As...

If just 2 HD, it will probably be ok. Phantom is probably the most efficient PS in it's class, read the SPCR review. However you might wanna do some research just to be safe. The 47j was very tidious to install. The leg that they supply to hook up to the motherboard is a pain to install because it w...

Hey No problem man, this is SPCR! :) Yes I am already using the Zalman 47j on my chipset, the temperature reach beyond 50 when I use the Nexus 120mm silent fan on XP-120. Although very silent, that is far from the ideal temperature for a closed system. I am thinking about getting 2 Silverstone contr...

System Update

Ok I have decided to change a few things in the system to lower the noise level. The Nexus 120mm Fan are very slient, however, without enough air flow blowing down to cpu, i notice my system temperature had gone up significantly, especially the chipset and ram. Chipset temperature reach 50C and cpu ...
