Heh, no its just a nick name because I'm 6'2" tall and I have red hair.

I've had the case for about a year and a half. This page has some good pics of the case.
Other then that I'll have think about the case a little more and make a post later.

Check out these cases by Yeong Yang.

YY-0221 - This one is my current case, it has some great features plus lots of space if you wanted to house watercooling gear or 9 Hard Drives and 6 CD-Roms...

YY-0420/0430 - This one is massive.

You should check out the Sunbeam one. I just picked it up a few days ago and I really like it. It works perfectly and feel solid and looks well made. With the exception of it going below 4 or 5v it is pretty much perfect.

Hmm I hope its just the compat. with extra cards, and no new features. I *just* installed a rev2 on my card and would hate to go about selling it off...

Hmm 3 HD's and a water pump... I think that would be pushing it. I have the 350w version and it works fine for my setup. But then I only have one HD and no pump. Considering your specs, and that you want to overclock, I would say that to be safe, count the 350w out. But there is still the new 420w m...

I didn't know that these things were fan specific. Will these work with 80mm's also?

Wow, those are at a really good price.

I'm sitting here and its the most noticeable thing in my system (noise wise). Ugh, I dread ever buying it... I've been thinking about replacing it for a while now, but I don't like the Sunbeam because it goes down past 5v... Isn't that basically useless? I'd rather have that extra travel in the knob...

So what do you guys think? Will the basic mods I outlined be enough?

Also what about my fan question?

For case fans I was looking for something quiet like a Panaflo, but a fan that had a more broad (less direct) airflow path. Anyone have any suggestions? Maybe Pabst?

I have the original Vantec Nexus. It uses PWM, yet I do not find that it causes the fans to make any additional noise. However I do find that the capacitors buzz when you have a fan turned right down. When I have all the fans turned right down to ~5v the buzzing is quite loud and can be hard from up...

The big problem is the restrictive intakes. But you're right its not the different than the standard. I think people around here are just used to Antec and 120mm lovin'. Well I think that once I make the mods I will have no problems with using any hardware down the road. Also if heat does become an ...

Well paper's great and all. It grabs all the small particulate, but do I need that? I mean a case has lots of entry points for dust already. Plus paper is a one time use thing, you can't clean it, where as the Aluminum one is washable, as well as the plastic one.

Hmm ok. I was thinking that I could just cut one or two 80mm holes in the bottom and use something like this to filter the air. http://www.pcmods.com/ProductImages/GF80(300).jpg Or this http://www.bigfootcomputers.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/cooling/l_alum.jpg But that aside, given the mod's tha...

GamingGod, I've got an XP 2800+ Barton (stock speed), Radeon 9700Pro, and a Samsung P80 (on order). Oh yeah I forgot to include that. I plan on using AcoustiPack thoroughly. Hammer, Yeah I like that intake idea from the 6077. I wonder if that part is removable, and therefore orderable from Lian Li? ...

I know that this case has been discussed more than a few times already and I hope that I’m not pissing anyone off because of the repetition, but I think I have some new questions and ideas that make this post worth while. Thanks for reading. Right now I am in the planning stages of building a new sy...

I agree with the Plextor argument. I've always bought Plextor burners. But now that I am thinking about getting a DVD burner, I like the Plextor, but I also like the Pioneer A06. When it comes to CD burners Plextor is the best, and if you can afford it you will appreciate the superior quality. But I...

Well a regular 350w giving you its advertised wattage would do it. But the one thing with at least the SilenceMaxx 350 is that its actual wattage is around 197w. So tally it up and see how you do. I'd say it would still cover it.

Yeah sorry thats what I meant, the SpinPoint P80.

Ok great. I think an 80GB one will be what I buy, so long as I can find a local distributor.

So not to get off topic, but what is the final SPCR verdict on the P80? In lieu of a Seagate, is the P80 the best next quietest option?

Seal, I have the 350w version and it was able to power my rig w/o any problems. As has been discussed here in great detail, people really don't need as much power as they think.

More HD's. I'd like to see the Hitachi 7K250, and new Raptor tested. I know they are no Samsung or Seagate, but maybe with suspension and enclosure they could be almost as quiet. I'd also like to see a shoot out between the Artic VGA cooler, and that newer Zalman Heatpipe the ZM80C-HP. I'd also like...

Speaking of smells my box of stuff from QuietPC reeked of cigarettes as soon as I opened it. It went away within a half hour, but thats not very professional...

Yeah, that looks great. I am in the market for another fanless PSU since my SilentMaxx PSU died. Not only did it die, but I RMA'd with the hope of getting a new one. I say hope because its been over 4 months, and I've called their US office so many times that I've lost count and the kicker s that no...

methodman wrote:my experience with lian li cases lately, the quality is poor... they make commodity aluminum cases in my opinion, if you want quality, go for coolermaster.

Huh? I've always heard that LL is a staple of excellent build quality in the industry.

Then that would be perfect. But be warned, those speakers sound really bad, even the "beep" is going to sound like $hit.

Quantum Bigfoot and the Atlas II.

Hmm, ok thanks guys. I'm not sure which Samsung drive he had. I think part of my apprehension is due to Samsung seeming like a (relatively) new HD company. Maybe they've been around for a long time, but as far as I have noticed, they seem to only have been around for a few years. Looking at that cha...

SZ, thats a good idea. The problem is I have to deal with SilentMaxx USA. On their site only 1 email is listed. Maybe I'll call them and just leave voice messages in a bunch of the mailboxes...

Yeah I know the samsung is quiet, but I'm not really interested. My friend has a Samsung drive, its quiet, but its also very slow. I love quiet components, but performance is a close tie.

Asside from the Seagate IV V, and Samsung Spinpoint, what is the quietest?

I've called proabably about 15 times, only once did I get an answer. All the other 14 times, I left a message and waited at least a few days for a reply.

All I want is my overly expensive PSU back!
