Whats the ETA on the new DX 10 cards coming out?
Hoping it will have an effect on the price of the 7900GS

Basically the question is How much better is the 7900GS? How much more wattage does it use? How much heat does it put out? These are the cards im talking about.. http://www.asus.com/products4.aspx?l1=2&l2=6&l3=271&model=1097&modelmenu=1 http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/vga/vga/pro_vga_detail.p...

Reading this thread just makes you laugh at people who go out an buy 600W+ psu's when they are running less than what some of the guys on here have

What i need... Quiet drive 80GB SATA What i dont need... High pitched whine! I previously had SS P80 (jvc motor) and it had an annoying whine, been reading through the forums, i know the nidec motor is better but does it have a high pitched whine? I dont mind to0 much of the occasional noisy seek, m...

The intake & exhaust fans will be connected to the intergrated fan controller which comes with the case, and so they will be running on low rpms, while the cpu fan will have a fanmate.

Im not an extreme gamer, so i will be sticking with the one card

Interesting, how efficient? It says >76%, which isn't great for a (semi-) fanless PSU to be honest. For £90 you could get a Silverstone ST30NF fanless, which has had great reviews on SPCR. As to why your FSP Zen uses 25W when in standby mode (ie not disconnected from the mains but switched off) so...

How about this, its got sleeved cables!

Thanks for ur help people, found silencio shop on ebay.

I found this item in his shop

Is this better?

Cant get Yate loons in the UK, Nexus has similar specs to the Sharkoon 1000 but the sharkoon is cheaper.

Stuck on what 120mm case fan to get, i want silence but also i want enough air flow to cool my ninja to allow decent overclocking. Here are my options; -------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Xilence Red Wing -------------------------------...

i was considering this in my system, but not going to go for it as i will probably need more airflow in my system to remove the heat from my passive 7600GT

I can't hear it with the side on (under load).

You mean you can't hear it over the two X1900's, watercooling pump, 4 fans and 4 hard drives? What a surprise.

I think he needs to check which forum he's on!

I do like to have a reserve for worst-case scenarios, like upgrading to SLI down the road or the next gen vid card, so I'll probably get at least a 400W model. [ emphasis mine ] IMO, SLI is the biggest scam going in the PC world these days. You will almost always get better value for money (that me...

So how quiet is the thing? im really not bothered about its triple rails!

So if the fan kicks in for a minute then goes off, i can live with that at intervals of say 30 mins, then that is excellent.

Not much input from anyone?

Anyway went into PCworld to have a look at it, its convinced me!

The quality is very good, the buttons feel like buttons and not just a cheap bit of plastic.

Plenty of ventilation, think it might be a very good case to get the best out of my conroe!

I was a big fan (pun intended) fo the original due to its excellent ventilation and have stumbled upon the new version of it! http://www.jeantech.com/phong1.htm Looks good & i like the front 14" fan, this might be the case that a Ninja was made for passive cpu & psu might be possible. Heres a review...

The DFI CFX1150/G is the one to wait for, due to be out July/Aug

Me! Im getting the E6600, i only upgrade once in a while, only when there's big performance increase (still on my 2.4C). So if a E6700 can reach 3.5ghz on air with a ninja & a 12" fan keeping it cool, you know its going to be a monster.

Is this case bigger than the TJ08?

EDIT

TJ08 (H) 14" (W) 7" (D) 14"
3300 (H) 13.75" (W) 7.75" (D) 13"

Im thinking of buying this case and going into water cooling, which i have not done before.

Do you think it would be possible to fit a water cooling setup into this case?

Im thinking of a 120mm Rad at the front intake.

Looks real nice, though I think the streetprice will be too high compared to the competition. The AOpen MZ915-M retails for 324 euro for example. And, while not a SFF, a combination of the Antec P150 case and a mATX Pentium M board definately has it charms at 340 euro. Question to Rik: on "features...

Can you SPCR do a review ASAP please, when available

Hmm...my advice was based on the Shuttle Zen's layout. I didn't have any luck finding internal pictures of an Aopen EZ65II with a quick internet search. Could you describe the internal layout and airflow design, or find a link to internal pictures that model (or something similar)? It really doesn'...

A better idea would be to find out what's actually causing your heat problem. A quick search on your posts doesn't definitively reveal much about what hardware you're using. I gather you're using a Shuttle Zen with a 2.4Ghz P4 Celeron? Is that a Northwood core? I take it your real problem is that y...

My fan in my SFF fan is speeding up due to the 40c temps that my hard disk is giving off. I have come to the conclusion that the only way to get is silent is to reduce temps. This is my propopsed plan. 1. Purchase a Cool Hard drive minimum of 10Gb & maximum of 20Gb 2. Purchase and external usb hard ...

Actually, it's not too easy because the database will be very small. There are few S478 boards around that undervolt. I've played with a couple of 2.4C's and was able to run them stable at around 1.25-1.3V, depending on the board. Do you have a particular board in mind? I've recently purchased an A...
