i just picked up the MS comfortcurve 2000 and the intellimouse explorer 3.0. the keyboard is pretty quiet, you can hear the keys but its not really click, more of a lower pitched thud, barely even there if you have a little bit of music on. the mouse has no whine and the button clicks are fairly qui...

i just bought the intellimouse explorer 3.0 and my scroll whell is really loud and clunky. its even louder than my generic HP mouse. Is this just a problem with my mouse or is it all intellimouses?

pci slot covers: airflow question
I am wondering what it would do to the airflow in my system if i had the pci slots removed. i dont have a front intake fan, just an exhaust and the bottom fan of my PSU. is it better for airflow to have the pci slots open or closed? i am thinking of maybe just having the one below my videocard open....

Re: Yate Loon vs Nexus
how did you do the partitioning? im curious.... Cardboard for now. I didn't want to invest in more expensive materials until I did some proof of concept work. That and cardboard is good for getting perfect sizes if you have the patience to constantly trim. The cardboard runs between the video card ...

Re: Yate Loon vs Nexus
what are the rest of the components in your system?
the orange YL D12 SL fans are pretty cheap, if the noise is really bugging you , it might be worth grabbing a few.

I currently have 3 Yate Loon 120mm fans in my system undervolted at around 7V, but my system is still louder than I would like. For those of you with experienece with both fans, do you think it'd be worthwhile to replace my YL fans with Nexus fans? I'm fairly certain that a lower RPM will meet my c...

maybe modders mesh would be what you are looking for:

I agree with your thinking - the PSU fan should be running slower IMO so it doesn't suck in too much hot air. yeah it seems like that would be best, because its not like it really matters where the air exits, as long as it gets out. any ideas on how much of a difference there should be between the ...

Bottom PSU fan/exhaust 120mm fan: which should have more RPM
I have SS tornado 400w with a YL D12-SL on the bottom and another as exhaust for my SLK3000B.
I am wondering if I should be sure to have the PSU running at lower RPM's than the exhaust so i doesn't intake unnecessary hot air that. Am I right in thinking this? Should it be the other way around?
