It would be great to eliminate additional page loads and time wasting if we could just have a simple "quick reply" option at the bottom of each thread. There are quite a few phpbb mods out there for this. It would be much appreciated. Thanks for listening!

I just wanted to follow up on this thread and see if anyone else had additional input. Please see my post here: http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=363995#363995 I'm going to be using a motherboard very similar to your setup, the LGA 775 series unit from Gigabyte: GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS...

This is a bit of an old thread, but it would be nice to have those who purchased the revb follow up with any additional thoughts as to what they used to mount the Ninja or if they decided to return it. The reason why I ask is that I have a revB in the mail as we speak to be used in conjuction with a...

http://www.pugetsystems.com/store/item.php?cat=All+Categories&id=4739&com=d41d8cd9 These guys got an excellent review here at SPCR. I tried several other vendors, but they were all priced at about twenty bucks a pop. The price was so cheap on these I called up just to make sure that they weren't rem...

It's a shame with that nice room and all the testing equipment, that almost none of there products could be considered close to silent. The new gigabyte board with p35 chipset has nothing but passive cooling through large heatsinks. There's no fans whatsoever, so unless you're talking about some ot...

After reading nothing but gold reviews from just about every major hardware site and Newegg's comment section, I finally bit and got the 620w. I plan on doing some overclocking so clean, reliable power is key. Hopefully the unit I have will be up to the task. A five year warranty even tops my Antec ...

I recently cut open an old power supply and tore out the heatsinks that are inside. The screwhole fits perfectly with the hole on the hardrive casing, so I'm wondering if one couldn't make an effective makeshift cooler on the fly. I'm going to try as many suggestions as you guys are willing to offer...

The MX-2 (which has now been ordered for this rig) shouldn't pose the problems with electricity that the AS5 does if you aren't too careful. The thermal tape they put on the MSI 8800 was a pain to remove as it smears instead of coming off cleanly, plus it seems to leave a fibrous substance behind. L...

I'm thinking about getting a sheet of plexiglass and putting it up against the case frame. Once that's done I'll use a small incense bowl and turn on the fans inside the case. Of course, if you have a windowed case that makes it a little easier.

The machine that is being built will have 4gigs of RAM in a 2x2gb configuration. The OS will be Vista 64bit.

I'm not married so I can't easily go about stealing them.

Before we get started let me explain the hardware I have and what I intend to use it for: Two (2) Deskstar 82.3gb 7200RPM SATA 1.5 hardrives, (Previously used in a RAID 0 setup under Windows XP Pro) One (1) 160gb Seagate 7200RPM IDE hardrive. My mobo is this guy: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/M...

I do not have any pets in the house, plus I do have two Ionic Breeze machines running in a small bedroom. Hopefully the dust issue will be minimized, but I really want to max out the desk space a bit. Just for your edification, someone on another forum I post at suggested that panty hose does the tr...

Here's the guide I found:

The guy just mentions that he dremmeled an old CPU HS and made this for his smaller chips.

Just out of curiosity, could you please post the link to the HS's you used for your MOSFET's? Thanks!

I saw another guide on the on how to chop up an old CPU HS and make it for the smaller chips with a dremmel. That seems like a lot of work though. Are you worried about mobo failure for that component, or are you just the cautious type that always takes these steps? :) Last but not least, did you pu...

I plan on having a 120mm intake fan in the front of my Antec case. The case offers a standard mesh filter, but I was wondering if you folks recommend an after-market one. Do after-market fan filters offer better airflow/noise reduction due to impedance issues or is this just getting nitty gritty? If...

Newegg didn't have the Ninja cooler revB which I wanted either, so it looks like for cooling goods, I'll have to go elsewhere. Jab Tech has some prices that are about 20% less than Newegg on fans and HS's. Looks like that will be the place to go to get the paste and HS/fans. http://www.jab-tech.com/...

http://www.antec.com/productImage.php?ProdID=93700&SetZone=en My case has a small filter in the front, designed for use with a front-mounted 120mm fan. Is there any material one can get at a hardware store or elsewhere that offers decent airflow and quiet operation due to minimal impedance? http://w...

Thanks for the elaborate explanation. Hopefully it will save trips to the hardware store. :D Anyone else care to pitch their ideas for suspension hardrive setups? I have a 3-drive drive cage I could hang, however it does have rubber grommets that keep the actual hardrive casing from touching the cag...

I've used the AS Cremique before in the past, it works great. However, masking off the areas around the HS's isn't a big deal. Top performance is key and from all the reviews I've read, the As5 is top dog. Regarding your mx-2 suggestion, the mx-1 appears on Newegg, but it doesn't appear that they se...

Thank you for the quick reply. I'll look into the bungie cable option. By "plastic clips" do you mean those tension lock zip ties, or something else? If it is the something else, do you have a link to a picture? I have a couple fasteners that could hang smaller strings from the hardrive, but I'm not...

Hello all! I've been lurking for too long without registering, but with all the dedicated anti-noise freaks here, I just new I had to join the crowd. :D Here's a *hopefully* quick question for the regulars: I have a two disk RAID 0 array and a third hardrive for additional storage. I have plenty of ...
