Hi!

If I should buy w a PSU this case (because N/A w/o PSU yet...) is the Antec Neo HE worth keeping?

I have a 3 months old Tagan Easycon 480W PSU, and I am not really want to sell it...

How much can you get for the Antec PSU?

Thanks!

BR!

Is it silent?

Why do you use so many HDDs?

BR!

Hello!

Any news on the w/o PSU-type Antec P150?

BR!

Wow, nice suspension there! I have been thinking to buy only one HDD (P80 Nidec Samsung) Instead of the two. My thermal readings are 44 and 46 C for the two drives... BR! Front: Two drives supsended in the 5.25" bay of an Antec 3000b. One is Western Digital Raptor 74gb, the other is a Hitachi 250GB....

I think everything is all right and great review... except one thing.

I would have put an Audigy2 card in that top PC. I do not know, how will he react if he hears the noisy on-board sound card... For the price of the PC, one Audigy2 or 2ZS would not be expensive at all...

BR!

That is not very good news...

One of the main reasons for me to get a p150 was the HDD mounting...

and put your input there. The higher ups do read it.

I also voted for black and w/o a PSU-version.

BR!

Do you know, if there will be a black version of this Case?

BR!

The second HDD... I am not really satisfied. Will change to something else. What silent HDD do you suggest?

The JVC Samsung is loud... the Nidec P80 is better...



Happy New Year!

http://mail.alphasonic.hu/egyeb/picture/hddsin1.jpg Were can i buy a pair of these in the us ? Yes, in any Computer shop, at least here in my Country... It cost around 1,2 $ here. :) (same in €) I think I will buy an other, to suspend the other Samsung. But my ultimate goal is to have one, quieter ...

Yes, I will never be satisfied.... :roll: :cry: The HDD is around 44 C with the CPU fan at 1650RPM (8V from the mobo) and the back 12cm Fan on. But it is noisy that way... I did not want to give that amount of money for any suspension, so that is why I made one. So don't bother showing me the Silent...

And yes, the bay cover is already a mesh-type, because I have a CM Centurion5...

BR!

Hello!

Yes, maybe the picture is a bit misleading! The HDD is not even near the carpet!

I don't think it is anti-static... It is for only seek-noise dampening...
Here is a picture from the drive's distance from the carpet:



BR!

Hello, I've got my new HDD mount installed... The HDD itself is cooler than it was with the previous version... Although it is not really "cool", but hot. 48C is the highest, it goes no further... http://members.chello.hu/fabricius.maria/10dec_hddm1.jpg I thought, that that the air suction from the ...

Hi

What do you know about noise with the larger 2.5" hdd-s? 80-100 Gb ones?

Is a 2.5" Hdd with 16MB cache faster, than one with "only" 8Mb?

The other brands? You mentioned WD, Toshiba...

What about the Samsung and the Hihatchi drives? Are they good in terms of noise and secondly in speed?

BR!

Yup, same by me. With an Abit Av8 + Samsung Sata2 drive.

Promise detects my Sata1 and Sata2 Samsung, but the V8237 not. Had to set the Sata2 Samsung's Jumper to Sata1 compatibity mode...

The manual of the Samsung HDD mentions this issue...

BR!

And if I really want to change 2 pcs of Samsung 120 Gb sata drive into ONE 200 / 250 Gb HDD?

What do you propose? One Samsung is with JVC motor, so noise is important to me...

BR!

Happy to have found this topic... 8) Whine sounds: Abit Ai7 Had if for 2-3 weeks, bought used from a friend. It had intensive whining sound. This was a known issue, mentioned in Abit and other forums. I sold the board JUST because of that. I could not stand the noise. Now I have an Abit AV8 . Very s...

Ok, I installed the VF700-CU, and the card did not complain, because no fan was plugged in it...

BR!

Silly me, I just re-read your question, and for whatever reason, understood it differently this time. The fan connector referred to in the review is the "plug" for the power lead on the fan wiring. The only reason it needed swapping is that Leadtek uses their own connector. The connector installed ...

Hi! Thanks for the answer... I do not want to use the power of the card for the Zalman VF700-Cu, because this fan controll method is a very fast switching on and out one. I will use the connector on the mobo... BR! stands for "Best Regards". :) In my language, it also means "you are cold" when you s...

Hm...

I am thinking about buying 2 pairs of these:



And mounting it with screws... and hanging the HDD-s using this holder...
If I could really use the screws instad of the plastic thing in my CM Centurion5....

Any comments?

BR!

Hi! :D agus_c_o, do you think, that I can remove the plastic drive holders? So I heard there are screw holes underneath... If I could lead my elastic rope through, they could hold the two HDD-s in the 5.25" drive bays. And I got to install a 12cm or a 8cm fan in front of the HDDs... So my drives in ...

MikeC, what do you suggest to my problem? After having too hot HDD-s mounted in the upper 5.25" bays, I am not really want to put the drives there from the above 3.5" bays. But there, they are louder. Now, I am not sure if I bought a Zalman, Nexus, Noiseblocker X-Swing, etc. mounting stuff it would ...

Warriorpet, one more question!

What happens, when you pull out the fan connetctor from the Leadtek 6800GT VGA? Does the card "allow" that? Of course with an other cooler installed (Z Vf700-Cu)? So it won't beep like when there is no power connected to the card?

Thanks.

BR!

Ok, so you say, that the AC nVSilencer 5 rev 3 is better than the rev 2 AND even the rev 2 did not have this bearing noise?

Anyway it is too late, because I ordered the Zalman already...

BR!

Cool review!

Unfortunatelly, I can' afford 2,5" HDD-s, I have got two 3.5". They failed to be cool in these home made "Silent Vibes", without air...

I am waiting for your final system to see!

BR!

Sorry, I don't want to mod the heatsink... I am going for the Zalman.

Several tests showed, that the fans are really quiet! So I hope, you will be happy with the cooler...

BR!

Sorry, the pictures:
