Re: SilverStone Precision PS07: Budget MicroATX Tower
Just adding two cents here. I own a PC07. I noticed in the review photos that the power supply was mounted with the fan aimed up, which is logical enough considering the vent on top of the case, but the PS07 owner's manual says that "if the power supply has a build-in (sic) 120mm fan or larger, we r...

Just a little note here. I am a fan of Geeks, in fact live less than a mile from them and have been a regular in their retail showroom for 4+ years. Having said that, they are one of the places where "refurbished" can mean the same thing as "used". Not saying that's the case here, necessarily, just ...

I've done some minor work (quieter system fan and hard drive) on my Sun Ultra 5, which is even older than the Ultra 60 and is a desktop rather than a tower like yours. Personally, I'd open up the case first and see if there's some simple swapping out of parts that you can do, rather than mutilate th...

I put (only) one Pundit P1-AH2 together for a relative so will add thoughts in this thread for anybody that might be interested. I used a retail Athon 64 X2 3600+ processor and used the heatsink that came with the processor. The AVC fan that came with the processor appeared to be a lower-speed versi...

You mentioned mATX. There are several different, decent mATX A64 boards available. Mine is a Gigabyte socket 754 with a SIS chipset and has almost everything, including Firewire and integrated video with 128MB onboard memory. Not the latest, greatest and fastest, but more than good enough for me. Th...

Some of you might find this site interesting, if you haven't already seen it. It's not a vendor, but a site devoted to improved efficiency of both external and internal power supplies. I guess the name is description enough!

XG2004, thank you for starting this amusing thread! I don't know which is better, your tenacity at defending your viewpoint, or the apparent wounded pride of some who argue with you. Just realize that some people can't move their computer because of their particular environment, and some won't becau...

You already spent a bunch of money on other stuff; why get cheap over small differences in cases? Essentially all they are is a box to put the rest of your components in. Get one you like the looks of, that's reasonably priced, and a decent inexpensive power supply like the Fortron or one of the oth...

Somebody put together a matrix containing features of quite a few NForce2 motherboards, including whether they have a fan or not.

Don't know whose page it is and looks like a work in progress, but is kind of interesting.

Yeah, seems like you should start with those 60mm fans, maybe see if you can get by without the intake ones and just use one as an exhaust. That is something no-cost (assuming you don't burn anything up!) you can try, to start with. Wouldn't jump right into applying sound deadening (a band-aid appro...
