really nice build there. If you had a modular psu, do you think you would have any trouble in putting 6 hdd in?

did you have to mod the fan controller at all?

The clear yate loon is nowhere near as quiet as the orange type yate loons. From memory it is a faster running fan and much noisier. Therefore, I would expect this would also be noisier. Either get the orange yate loon or get a nexus.

I just bought one, it's on my desk here right now. I'll report back once I've installed it. Just returned a Seagate 7200.8 300gb. It had that 'patrol seek' running like every 60 seconds, was driving me nuts. PS - It comes with both Legacy & Serial Power connector - does it matter one way or another...

Also try this one - same guy but he has gone into great detail on all aspects of his SLK3000B

Have you managed to find a coolwatch to try as a comparison?

What about the Sapphire passive cooled cards as another option? I have installed a few of thir 'ultimate' edition cards with passive cooling and found them to be very good. Ihave not come across any VIA/ATi problems of late - but know what you mean about problems in the past. From my experiences it ...

Sorry to push in on your thread. I was going to post the same thing and easiest way for me to keep a tally on it would be to subscribe to the thread - so we now have at least 2 users with the same query

Now has 16 pipelines rather than 8 per gpu. Also the 8 phase power which I believe adds heat dissipation.

This isn't a case review, it's a DIY report of an upgrade. Yes, the "reviewer" seemed to have a difficult time with the case, but he doesn't intend to review it — he's just reporting his exeperiences. Save your criticism for when they actually review the case. He's a bit of a dumb-ass system builde...

Why do you want to quiet the floppy drive? It seems like a lot of work for something used rarely. Or maybe you use it often..? The comp has a couple of old dos accounting programmes which need to be used still and they only recognise floppys. It is used quite a bit - plus I hate the noise from flop...

Just out of interest, have you had any problems with the paper clips (bending etc) I can't find the plastic clamps they use in aphonos' method - so I thought I may give this a go instead. I assume you still used the grommets when attaching the hard disks to the cage? I have two hard drives in the c...

Bang for buck it is hard to go past the Antec SLK3000B

Plus see here for lots of modding potential to make it even better

One other query, if you remove the floppy drive cage as well, would the suspension hang above the 120mm fan at the front? reason I ask is I had considered attaching another fan to the drive cage and having it such air straight off the cage. I guess it could also be done if it was suspending in line ...

I note that Aphono's suspension hangs off the outside of the 3 1/2 bays. If you remove these bays and then try to hang shock cord off the 5 1/4 bays, there might be some difficulty with the panel door closure on the 3000B. How about putting the Raptors in the drive cage slots 1, 3, 5, and then susp...

Hey everyone, I haven't posted too many times here before, mainly just been reading gathering info. I have just purchased an Antec SLK3000B, upgrading from an old thermaltake Xaser III (possibly one of the worst cases ever - lethal edges but being heavy steel didn't give off a lot of noise) and was ...

you really can't go past samsung spinpoint drives.
I don't think anyone will recommend anything different - unless you could find a solid state drive that size......but not SATA

I am getting an SLK3000B and will have a minimum of 4 drives. Was considering using hd suspension but unsure how many drives I could suspend (would have though 4 drives was too much weight perhaps?)

So what is everyone's recommendation for a hdd enclosure then?

I would be interested because I have a raptor and don't want to suspend it due to heat (i have 3 other drives I wanted to suspend) and noise

Have you considered the Coolermaster Cooldrive instead? Since it has the fan controller as well....

Hey guys, just a couple of small queries re: this - has anyone actually tried suspending drives in this case? I have 4 hdd that I want to suspend and have just purchased this case (hoping that I can do all 4). If not I will probably buy a cooldrive or something so that I can have a fan controller an...

dynamiks, you posted earlier saying you were buying an antec 500w phantom. Just wondering when you were expecting it?
