How to mount psu
I have a Corsair HX 520 and Solo case and I don't know what to use to ensure its mounted/fixed as quietly as I can. I'm sure there is a little vibration from its current 'out-of-the-box' fixing, 4 screws provided. I guess I wanted to know if there are any PSU anti-vibration gasket kits or some other...

Cheers, do you need both Fan Mounts and Anti-vibration Fan Gaskets for case fans, or is it one or the other?
Can't see any Nexus case fans at http://www.quietpc.com/gb-en-gbp/products/120mmfans are any on these much better/worse?

Thanks for the replies. The prices were mostly from Ebuyer with VAT and postage, using the £10 discount (google). I was thinking of the Ninja-PLUS Rev B Heatpipe Cooler from quietpc.com for £33 plus postage. This is mainly as it seems cheaper than the Ultra-120, and I can't find the Ultra-120 in s...

Solo
I want to hear from Solo case owners on what they thing the most quiet effective way is to cool this case? Should I upgrade all the fans supplied? When I buy new fans, what else will I need? Do I need any fixing screws or things?

Solo
What can I do to this case to make it as quiet as possible?
Is there a kit to dampen it more?
Is anything else needed, out-of-the-box?

Gigabyte GeForce 8600GTS (GV-NX86S256H)
I can't find this card in the UK, has anybody else seen it or know why not? Is the Silent Pipe3 a lot quieter than the GV-NX86S256H-B model? Has anyone got any feedback on this card or other 8600 passive cards for both HTPC and gaming? http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/VGA/Products_Overview.aspx?P...

SilverStone Grandia GD01-MXR
OK, now you have made me aware that the Thermaltake Bach may not have the cooling that I want (2 x 60mm fans) and that the build quality may not be as good as I thought. I thought at 8.5Kg the build and thickness should be very robust. I'm considering the Silverstone again. At least they have 2 x 80...

I want to put this CPU in a Thermaltake Bach case. Which of these CPU coolers would you opt for? The Thermaltake appears to be less noisy!

Thermaltake Bach
Thinking of this case but would like to hear about the noise and air flow of the fans supplied. Can you change the 2x 60mm rear fans for 80mm and is that necessary for noise and air flow? What about the other front 80mm fan, can that me upgraded to anything larger? If I just got 3 x Nexus 80mm Real ...
