Hello Autoboy,

A A8N-E Asus motherboard.

The choice of case is not nearly as important as the choice of what goes inside it. A computer being used in an auditorium can actually be a lot louder than SPCR standards for a desktop system, for several reasons. First, the human ears involved are probably much, much, much further away. Second, a...

You asked for a Micro-ATX case and a m-ATX case is what was recommended to you. It would help immensely if you would list what motherboard you were planning to put into a m-ATX case. Sorry about that sleepygenius, I want to use a A8N-E Asus motherboard. I know that some Micro-ATX cases can house a ...

Currently I am looking at the Antec Overture II 761346-15730 piano-black/Silver Steel ATX Desktop Computer Case 450W SmartPower 2.0 ATX12V v2.01 compliant Power Supply. This computer case is horizontal which is great because it can sit on the desk and if need be a flat screen monitor can sit on top ...

imo, this is currently the best micro atx case. unless you want a desktop/HTPC or cube style case. http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=93300# even comes with a seasonic 80+ 300w psu. which is more than enough power for anything you could fit on a microatx board. Thank you for replying...

I am looking for a micro-ATX case. Does anyone have any suggestions? The computer system will be used in an auditorium so the box has to be quiet.

Thanks!

Good day! Last night before going to bed I performed a orderly shutdown on one of my computers. The shutdown was uneventful. I woke up this morning tapped the button on the front of the computer as I would any other morning only to discover that it won't turn on! :shock: I reached to the back of the...

Thermal overheat protection will save your CPU in the event that your CPU HAS failed. You're one of the first people who's asked for a faster (and with it, noisier) fan. If you're handy with circuits, there's an alternative to purchasing a new fan. There are Tach generating circuit diagrams availab...

It has the 'voice' alarms, so I've just replaced the "CPU fan failed!!!" with a less frightening "Hello!" :D cpemma, I wish I had "voice alarms" 8) :( I knew if I kept looking around on this site I would find what I am looking for! http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=22314&highlight=ya...

First thought was that you connect a (modest power) case fan with speed wire to the cpu header and plug the sensorless Panaflo in one of the other mobo headers. However, I've got the Asus A7N8X-E, exactly same message used to be rec'd. Problem with my mobo is, the BIOS can't detect cpu fan speeds u...

OK here is the good news. I just turned on my computer build for the first time and I didn't blowup anything nor did the lights dim. WHEW! :mrgreen: When I turned on the computer the first time I was able to enter the BIOS. The computer was on for about three minuets. The second time I turned it on ...

Thank you jackylman and Spod for your comments! Jackylman , Now that you mention it the tube only covers about ½ of the 12-mm fan. So whatever benefits I was going to receive by keeping the tube in place are probably lost anyway. Spod , You are a mind reader! 8) I have been asking myself “In which d...

Thank you CgameProgrammer, NeilBlanchard and rtsai for replying! CgameProgrammer , I too remember reading a thread on this site where someone else had the same problem! Thanks for the sanity check! I was beginning to think that I was imagining things! Too bad I was unable locate the thread. NeilBlan...

I am building my computer using a Antec SLK3000B. I installed a Thermalright XP-120 heatsink with a Panafol - FBA12G12L-1A fan. The problem is when I attempt to close the case. The Antec SLK3000B has a vent on the right side (if you are standing in front of it). On the inside of that vent there is p...

I went to Bigfoot Computers yesterday. I found the folks there to be very helpful and patience. I live in downtown Toronto so going to Bigfoot Computers by car is on the other side of town but well worth the trip. They answered all of my questions off the top of their heads or after checking hardwar...

There is one big problem with getting high quality media, you often don't know what you're getting, "major brands" usually outsource to companies like CMC magnetics(bad), moser baer, mitsubishi chemicals(good), or Taiyo Yuden(good). You are so right! IBM is a perfect example of what outsourcing is ...

Thanks guys for your input!!! BenW – About the NEC 3540 Does it read and write to CDs and DVDs? Mathias – About Alcohol 120 I know that this software emulates CDs and DVDs. Do you need to have a real CD and or a DVD? Green Shoes – About better media Maybe you are right about not worrying about the b...

my suggestion will sound kind off. If you got the money, for the Plextor dvdrw 16x, it can do everything, burn dvds and read them. Also you are getting the best burner. If not, get a cheaper dvd burner, once again it can do everything, and you are also future proof, if you ever need to burn a dvd. ...

I am looking for an excellent CD burnner. I went to the store today looking at the Plextor. The salesman pointed out a Sony CD that will RW AND read DVDs. I never thought about having a CD burner that can read DVDs as well. Can anyone suggest an excellent CD burner that also reads DVD? Of course I d...

I found this link about an hour ago.

It talks about the Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 . I found it to be interesting so I thought I would pass it on.

Cheers!

Thanks Slaugh for the information! You picked up the Phantom PSU. May I ask what case is it going into? It appears that that the most recommended PSU from this forum is the Tornado. Why did you choose the Phantom? This will be my first computer build. I am still in the information gathering stage. C...

Hello nici! Thank you for replying! Just finish reading the review about the Nexus NX-4090. As you said it sounds like a great PSU! They didn't mention that the PSU whined. By chance could you have received a bad one? Did you have yours shipped to you? Or did you pick it up? I would really like to k...

Thanks for the tip NamJangNamJa!

Have a great 2005!

Thank you for replying burcakb! I am not the type to go fiddling inside the PSU well not yet :lol: . This will be my first PC build. My goal is to put the pieces together properly. Maybe on my second PC build I will feel a lot more comfortable playing inside the PSU. Thanks for the search tip! The w...
