The real question is would buying a P180 be as helpful as anything else I could do?

If my case is loud and it will always be loud, perhaps I'm not looking at the right solution by replacing fans and trying to custom mod it.

Would upgrading to a P180 be a significant improvement?

Well I'm doing my hardest to quiet my PC that I've had for a couple of years because I got spoiled from using a nice centrino laptop that was dead quiet 90% of the time. My current setup: Case is a Lian-Li 6070 non-plus with the metal grates still in place ASUS K8V Deluxe (not second edition) Socket...

X850XTPE-How loud would this be? Would it be viably 'quiet'?

http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=190677&AFFIL=dt&NR=1 There you can see the Visiontek X850 XT PE card available for only $311 after a rebate and shipping.

I do intend to upgrade my system over the next 3 years and I have absolutely no choice but to overvolt my memory, at least as things stand now. I intend on upgrading to a socket 939 CPU or the modern equivilent as soon as my A64 3200+ socket 754 Clawhammer can no longer stand sufficient for modern g...

Would a 430 be able to power a "modern" gaming PC over the next 3 years (warranty length)? I plan on upgrading to SLI capability at some point but the 12V amps are so much below recommended minimum that it really does make me feel concern, particularly for the future and particularly if I have to ov...

Unfortunately, I had already read all of them and was unable to draw any specific conclusions. Generally I noticed a LOT about wattage and NOT a lot about amperage. I understand that the total wattage required to power my system could easily be handled by 430 watts, but it's really all about the 12v...

How many 12V Amps are really necessary?

Basically what it amounts to is the requirements you see posted from time to time as a minimum. I have spent the better part of this last week researching power supplies, and I have decided on a Seasonic S12, the only sticking point being the size. Some video cards, such as the 7800GTX, specifically...
