Any conclusions from the one you've already seen? Or have you agreed to wait until the real one arrives?

Is that a rebadged modular Seasonic? **EDIT** Never mind, just found the other thread about this PSU... must remember to read all new posts b...

You then have to rely on published specs....always suspect. Are rated rpm specs as unreliable as CFM/noise specs? I wouldn't have thought there's as much room for marketing-biased mismeasurement on that front, and even if there was there's not much point in lying about it. I suppose for lower rpm t...

There's the Scythe KATANA SCKTN-1000. 300 gram, but top heavy. There's also the CU version, but it's 590 gram. Prices seems pretty good. I've considered it several times, but I dont have the courage to mount such a top-heavy cooler on a Socket-A processor... Besides, I'm unsure how much better it'l...

Metric would be useful for Europeans, who pretty much all use metric; AFAIUI imperial units are still more common in North America? Officially the UK stopped using imperial units (with the exception of pints) a while ago - there were several cases of people being charged for refusing to sell banana...

Maybe it would be a good idea to invade other boards every once in a while? Are you suggesting some sort of mass message board excursion?

Seems odd that the -AM2 version would not come with a 4-pin PWM fan like the -AT version for LGA775... I thought AM2 mobos were all getting 4-pin PWM headers (backwards compatible with 3-pin fans of course)? The socket AM2 standard also introduces Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) fan speed control that...

Great review as always... Something on the last page caught my attention; The one exception is Apple's "Mighty Mouse". Although it pretends to have a scroll wheel and "two button" functionality, using the tiny, hypersensitive ball to scroll up and down was frustrating, and it took one of us the bett...

There's already an SPCR case badge in production, the one on the black Antec P180. I'd be willing to part with a few quid for one if I didn't have to pay for the case to go with it!

ah, so an 80mm fan at 5V is now quieter than a 120mm fan at 5V is it? :lol: Well i certainly thought so... surely the reason people rave about 120mm fans is that you can get away with running them slower for the same airflow, rather than that they are quieter in absolute terms? Two well-made fans s...

As others have said, I'd be very surprised if it was the PSU. Are you sure something else wasn't making that noise all along, and you just couldn't hear it over the noise of your old PSU? I've made exactly the same mistake in the past after replacing a couple of no-name case fans with some 5-volted ...

If your power requirements are pretty low, check out this thread.

I was googling for something completely different, when I saw an add for a british company selling ADSL PCI models for Linux and remembered this thread. The expensive one (of the two they sell) even has the voice/data splitter integrated on the PCI card. http://networkned.co.uk/ADSL_modems.php Good...

First of all, cheers for all the comments and suggestions. Is there a reason you wouldn't buy an external adsl modem/gbit router/wireless/firewall combo that's not *in* your PC? I'd also echo others' sentiments that a really basic machine will suffice here, as well as the option of getting a separat...

It looks like you can do everything you listed except ADSL modem and gigabit ethernet with the Linksys WRT54GS and friends (the ones that are linux based) and some hardware hacking: http://wiki.openwrt.org/UsbStorageHowto http://wiki.openwrt.org/PrinterSharingHowto Or you could go the full DIY rout...

It is possible to add such a filter inline with your current fan controller, to replace the faulty/non-existent one in your Nexus; if, as Felger Carbon rightly states, that is indeed the problem... mCubed make one, they call it an "Attenuator" or something like that.

I'm assuming the words "PANTTI-PANT" on the top of your installation beer refer to a recycling deposit (the equivalent of the German "Pfand") and not a naughty Welsh village?

See this thread, only took me a minute to find with the forum search engine...

800g, according to that review...

Bit like the mCubed HFX case too... Used to want one, but changed my mind. Way too bulky for a hifi rack, and sort of relies on having lots of empty space around it for effective passive cooling.
