I have the 300 Gb seagate hdd with 16 mb cache and can confirm that this is a loud hdd. My entire Lian-Li PC 6070 vibrates when the hdd seeks or loads something. I had to put it in a Scythe hdd silencer to silence the thing. I can't be compared with my ancient seagate 40 gb hdd, this one was really ...

I have the 300 GB and it can be quite noisy. I was dissapointed at how much louder it is compared to my old 40 GB Seagate.

I would recommend the Zalman ZM-F1 80 mm fan in silent mode. I have very bad experience with Papst silent 80 mm case fans. These fans are silent but they vibrate a lot. They vibrate so much that they transfer the vibrtations to my aluminium Lian-Li 6070 case. The vibration noise is very disturbing....

If it is only 300 Watt that you need and you can't buy Yesico (I think you can only get it in Europe en Asia for the time being) I would consider the Silverstone or the Antec Phantom. Zalman is going to release PSU's with a 120 mm fan in the future. Their fanless psu: NEPS 400 is postponned without ...

Re: How quiet is this PSU?

http://www.zalman.co.kr/eng/product/view.asp?idx=75&code=015 I'm considering this product over Silverstone 300w Fanless This one is only $80 AUS where as the Silverstone is $235 aus. I have the 400 Watt model and this is certainly not a silent PSU!! I use the fanless 420 Watt Yesico PSU with TMS an...
