LED:s are bad, mmm-kay? I find these unnecessary mouse LED:s to be visual noise , hence I simply can't stand them. So there should be some sort of off switch for the mouse LED:s. As you guys said the Lachesis' LED:s can be easily turned off via software. Excellent! But what about the other Razers? ...

Accidental Fanless CNPS-7000-AlCu
I built myself a pretty quiet system in April 2005 and was pretty happy with it. I managed to get away with no case fans, to make sure that the computer was silent to my ears. The only fans in the system were a super-undervolted (~3V) Zalman 7000-AlCu on and a Seasonic S12 380W. My CPU is an Athlon ...

I also have the X1. I was wondering what you think about the screen? I find my screen quite disappointing. The viewing angle is pretty bad, I have to look straight on to get any decent image quality. Also, the backlight is really uneven. The screen is not clear at all. I wonder if it's an isolated p...

Sorry for bumping this thread from the graveyard, but I've been looking for a cheap passive cooler for the Radeon 9800 Pro I want to get, and this one seems to fit the bill perfectly. It costs only ~$13 at NCIX, compared with the $50 for the Zalman passive cooler. It'll obviously be inferior to the ...

My crappy statement wasn't really referring to it not starting at 5V, but to its louder than expected noise levels at 12V. I thought it would be comparable, if not quieter than the TriCool on low. According to the SLK3000B review, the noise levels of the two should be pretty similar. However, it was...

I was running a Nexus 12V on my SLK3000B and it was so annoying I had to turn it off. Now I have no case fans... I tried sticking it on the 5V connector of my S12, but it only started up half of the time. It was definitely louder than the stock Antec TriCool on low setting. However, I still found th...

From what I can tell, the, "blacktop," Caviars are the new FDB models. If I'm wrong here, somebody call me out. My blacktop 250GB Western Digital is horrible. So horrible that I ripped it out and have it sitting on my desk instead of trying to do something futile like suspending it. (This one was p...

I'm similarly disappointed with my 7000B AlCu. I tried undervolting beyond 5V by attaching it to the 5V fan connector on the Seasonic S12 and then using a fanmate, but it's still not quiet. The RPMs aren't much slower either, but I guess I was expecting too much of a difference. It's still the loude...

If your computer hasn't blown up with 1 Vantec Stealth, then it wouldn't with two Nexuses. I would install a Nexus in the front and the back. The noise should be considerably less, and the airflow would not be significantly affected. It might even improve. From what I've seen, the 120mm Vantec Steal...

E.A.R Grommets on a Tri-Cool?
I was building my system yesterday, and spent over an hour trying to fit on the Tri-Cool on the back of my 3000B using E.A.R grommets. I broke one (and they're pretty strong rubber too), and eventually gave up and simply went with hard mounting it. I was wondering if anyone else had experience with ...
