Nexus disktwin using clips
Hi, Any thoughts on or actual experience with mounting disktwin-equipped disks in a casing that uses a locking mechanism for its 5.25 bays? I can't find anything on the subject while one of the alternative solutions, Mcubed silent bracket, boasts compatibility with clipping systems. I'd rather use t...

As for Klipsch: I owned an Ultra until it failed two weeks ago and I understand from the distributor the current 2.1 sets can't live up to the Ultra's reputation. There's better bang for the buck out there. I went for a second-hand amp and two hifi speakers. The bass was too boomy for my taste anywa...

I know of two shops in Germany that sell Seasonics. Both accept Paypal or bank transfer and shipping takes two days. Consumer rights are quite well protected in Germany and Seasonic is a reputable brand, so why not do as I did? I'm afraid the Fortron will prove to be a disappointment noise-wise. Hav...

I owned two Tagan U01 PSU's and have switched to two Seasonic S12-430's. I replaced my Tagan 480W because I no longer trusted the brand due to numerous RMA-cases (my particular unit being an RMA replacement itself); my 330 was replaced last week because it couldn't cope with the heat (my second comp...

This exact same thing happened to me once without any modification of my old Zalman PSU (400A version). Dead PSU, dead motherboard and the graphic card had taken a beating and caused intermittent boot failures with the new board. The PSU was connected to an APC surge protector. I never new what caus...

Hi Gert-Jan. I'd suggest Seasonic, available from Germany. It would cost you 106 euro (S-12 430 version), that's cheaper than any passive PSU out there. I'm very pleased with the noise level (or rather, the lack of any noise). If you check the recommended PSU list you'll notice Nexus NX3000 scores a...

My MSI K7N2 Delta2 Platinum is emitting a high pitched squealing sound and I'm pretty sure it's one of the coils. The sounds begins when Windows is starting and gets worse under load. I managed to keep it in check by using the "nForce2 C0/C1/C2 Cooling Patch". Although disabling StopGrant disconnect...

teejay, I sent you a PM. For the benefit of other Europeans looking for a shop that sells Seasonic PSUs: http://www.sh-edv-vertrieb.de/shop/index.php I got an interesting reply from Antec when I inquired about the failure rate of Phantoms (I referred to the Antec Phantom user poll on this forum): Th...

With temperatures soaring in Holland right now (we've got some sort of mini heatwave on our hands) casetemps are rising and suddenly a fanless PSU doesn't seem such a great idea after all. I've just ordered a S12-430 from a German retailer and I hope it will be able to live up to its reputation here...

Thanks Frank, that's really helpful. I've just informed the supplier I'm cancelling the sale and over the weekend I'll consider my options. Luckily, I've still got an Antec lying around (unfortunately a bit too noisy for my taste) so there shouldn't be too much of a rush for me to make up my mind. K...

Antec Phantom, Elan Vital or ....
Hi all, I ordered an Antec Phantom 350W last Monday evening and stumbled across the very disturbing "how many Phantoms have died"-poll in this forum the following Tuesday morning. As it turns out, my supplier has given me a used Phantom (manual is missing, scratches on the surface) so that would be ...
