I was thinking the same thing. The text implied the P180 had a lower noise levels and the recording info backs that up. The table I assume is in error. MP3: P180 "Hot Potato", WD Raptor Drive, idle/seek: 25/ 29 dBA/1m MP3: SLK3000B, WD Raptor Drive, idle/seek: 26/ 39 dBA/1m I assume the seek reading...

Pro-Cooling Radiator Thread
It's a long discussion on ideal radiators, with a focus on quieter cooling.

I don't know much about the T-Balancer, but would suggest you only use 3 fans not 6. Choose either push or pull not both, because the cooling gain for both is negligible. Here's some testing from pro-cooling to prove it. http://phaestus.procooling.com/shrouds-BIX.GIF

Built in temp sensors are known to have horrible accuracy. The cpu temp sensor is probably reporting temps 5-10°C lower than real and the case sensor is probably in a area next to the video card so it is alot hotter than the air the cpu heatsink receives. He quoted his ambient temp to be 22-26°C so ...

I've not seen in a long time (if ever) that the graphics cards were created on a process smaller than CPU's. You won't be seeing .011 micron GFX-cards until Intel/AMD are there, I figure.

I would get an Arctic VGA Silencer for the 9500 Pro. I don't know anything about Intel motherboads, but can suggest the Antec 3700BQE for a quiet case without much modding. For hard drives, the Maxtors set to Minimum Acoustic output using AAM should be quiet enough for a while, but I would not use t...

Good radiator Even though passive radiators like the Zalman look cool, the fittings are so small, and therefore restrict water flow a quiet pump like the Ehiem would easily become underpowered. There's no reason not to run a very very slow and quiet fan since a pump will probally be audible with a ...

It looks like a SLK2600 with grommet hard drive mounts and a 120mm fan mount in the rear. The plastic box can be removed, but I'm not sure about the plastic drive rails. I found those quite useful and not sure why you would want to remove them. I've owned a SLk2600 and found it quite a bit cramped c...

It's only 22.50 shipped. SVC would have tacked on atleast $5 shipping so a Sparkly is only ~$4 more.

Assuming your PSU is 65% efficient, then it can supply 300w*0.65=195w. Now, I guessed on the burner/dvd drives but I have to imagine I'm on the high side with each. This is also assuming that everything in your system is running full bore at the same time. Thought that efficiency meant how much AC ...

This review said that the minimum is 4 volts (if tension is the same as voltage). There is an alarm that goes off at 1000 RPM like Bluefront said.

You would probally be fine just putting a Zalman NB-47J. IRC the Geforce 4 MX is pretty much clocked the same as Geforce 2s with all most the same feature set and many of the Geforce 4 MX are sold with passive cooling solutions so there should be no problems running it with a zalman northbridge heat...

I've got a friend with the above stated drive and it has one heck of a whine and seek noise. Would mounting it in something like a NoVibesIII help any since it's hard mounted at the moment.

Re: The Truth about PSU power ratings
Specify a low operating temperature for rated output. This is quite common, but again not often seen in consumer brochures, but rather tech spec sheets provided usually only on demand by engineers or corp buyers. A typical PSU operating temp statement is somthing like this: 0ºC ~25ºC for full ratin...
