i need preferably fanless pc for browsing/Office etc
1. i need mobo with ddr3 and sata 3, mATX
2. cpu with passive cooling, and maybe with lower TDP (i3-2100t with 35w?) or maybe my current i5 2500k with stock cooling and scythe ninja fan to fit in slim case
3. case itself and PSU (maybe pico psu?)

okay, so i got P183 case and Corsair 750AX PSU how should i mount it - fan facing up or down? if fan facing up than hot air will be kept in the lower section of case, but fan down it will be blown away because there are hole below the psu. am i right? and i got 3 PWM Scythe Slip Stream, and ASUS P8P...

with what fans should i replace the stock ones from Antec P183?
SСYTHE Slip Stream ?
how many would i need? 2 or 3
i'm thinking of closing top air vent, but maybe i will install one fan inside the case for hdds

Akustyk, can you explain me in little bit more details, how you

closed off the vent with a piece of acrylic and a fan rubber gasket

what materials do i need?

it's the fan, that generates noise so i need fanless efficient cooling and then i can buy silent slow fan what can you recomend me? if i go with CNPS10X Flex what fan i should buy for it? or should i go with Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B Mugen 3 is rare and costs more and i don't know if it performs much be...

But looking at your config I believe a much smaller PSU is more than enough. Please look also for a fan less PSU if you can: Seasonic X-460FL - 460watts. If not Seasonix X 650 is very good. If you still want more both Antec CP-850 and Corsair AX850. I would give an edge to Corsair (fan less at low ...

Antec CP-850 is Antec High Current Pro 850W (HCP-850EC) ? or they are different models and should i buy it for P183 or Corsair AX850 or 750 they are identical to noise level and price, but corsair 850 comes with Gold 80+, while antec is simple 80+ but i don't know, how good will Corsair perform in P...

with what fans should i replace stock ones in the P183?

stefan73, i like R3, but i can order it only from another country and i don't know is it really worth this extra trouble comparing to P183 delivered right to my door in 1 day
can you tell me is it worth it?

okay, here we go again
i've noticed the review of Cooler Master Silencio 550
So is it better than P183 (noise damping, cooling) or no
the price difference is not too big

thr only one thing that i don't like in P183 is the power\reset buttons hidden behind the door

Abula i got only one last question - p183+cp-850 is designed for each other, and PSU has fan at it's back but other PSUs come with fan on the bottom, and given the p183 configuration for PSU placement, how will that PSU perform, should it placed fan to the bottom or up? does it affects cooling ps. ...

NZXT H2 or the Fractal Design Define R3 unfortunately, i can't buy them in my country :( i've already bought ssd - Crucial M4 64Gb, and HDD WD20EARS, they are great Harpocratos, which case do you like the most? I'm sure you'll get help to make it quiet. from the list of cases, available for me to p...

need some advice on the case

ASUS P8P67, i5-2500K(or 2400), GTX560ti, 1 WD20EARS, 1 SSD, 2x4Gb RAM, 1-2 USB devices, 1 DVD-RW, Antec P183 case
I do not want to OC right now, because i' aiming for quiet pc, but in 1-2 years, maybe

Zalman CNPS10X Performa (1000-2000rpm)
Scythe Big Shuriken (SCBSK-1000) (650-1600rpm)
Scythe Shuriken Rev. B (SCSK-1100) (650-2200 rpm)
are they efficient enough and quiet?
?

okay, so which one should i buy, they are 80 PLUS simple/Silver/Gold, 140/140/120 fans, nonmodu/modu/modu i need the most silent one, on this site i found only 850AX tests, will TX/HX have the same noise lvl? and what about 750AX because from PSU calculator if i ever going to OC my rig, it recommend...

Since you have limited access to what is available, and im guessing you have access to the P183, i would go that route, its a very well regarded case here. I did a build for a friend on it, i liked the case a lot, just not a big fan of grey interiors, but that's more cosmetic, personally i like a l...

Abula , still i have not decided which case should i buy i like Antec P150, more specifically Sonata Designer :roll: but i can't buy it in my country i like miniITX but i don't know if my components will fit in it and probably it will have worse airflow -> higher T -> more noise Can you give me a l...

ok, you almost convinced me to buy Crucial M4 as i said, i'm new to SSD, and i will feel difference anyway compared to my 7200 Seagate 320 ocz is 25$ cheaper, but if you say they are worse now, maybe i can be serial identify, is it from the old models to know for sure but i think i will be getting M...

SSD, if you haven't bought the OCZ, i would recommend to go with something Sata III, the Curcial M4 seems to be one of the best atm, specially this week got a new firmware update that increase its performance, the sequentials are already closing to 500mg/s, atm i think its the drive to buy. what's ...

Thanks for your post! 1. About the PSU, I'm thinking that fanless is not too good, because it should draw some hot air not only from itself, but from case too. Or maybe in P183 it would not be necessary? And if my system requires 430W, i don't know if PSU 460W will fit, because it will be operating ...

Very nice, i'm trying to build something like that
what can you say about noise level of Zalman CNPS10X Performa for i5-2500k cooling
and what gtx560 ti model do you recommend to have low noise cooling (i'm considering Gainward GTX 560 Ti Phantom)
thanks

Hello to everyone I have a dream :D of building a silent pc The main components i've chosen so far MB - ASUS P8P67 (or LE version, idk, if it has worse cooling etc) CPU - I5-2500K tray 2 x DDR3 4096Mb Hynix OCZ VERTEX 2 60 Gb for OS GTX 560 Ti But first of all I need to choose a case, and from what ...
