Anyone seen and/or tried this out? Looks like it might be a good thing for the silence in us.

Well I have the high pitch sound and it only started coming from my computer after installing a second cd-rom. Makes me think its just a psu workign harder. For people that are still hearing this try removing some parts that draw power from the psu (extra cdrom, fan, etc) to see if that helps.

Yes but that would add noise. This computer is almost completely silent except for the damn psu fan.

I have a Fortron 350 and at case temps below 32C it is completely silent but as soon as it hits 32C the fans kick into some warp speeds and are really loud. Any thoughts? I am willing to mod it if needed but still would like it to be safe to use ad don't want to cut down on its life too bad if possi...

I just recently picked up the SATA seagate and it is pretty silent when idle but while accessing it is pretty loud. Not as much the spinning sound but the other usuall hard drive sound. Good drive overall and I like it though.

Well to start you could clean up those wires. With just the low speed fans pushing air around in there the psu wires are blocking alot. I wouldn't be amazed to see a pretty good drop after you do so.

Most people are saying the 92mm because they push more air for the nosie they produce which is less than the 80mm will. The L1A is avaliable in all sizes, 80, 92, 120mm, all are around, you just have to find them.

Jeez with that kind of heat it will take a pretty good h20 setup to cool even. Hopefully they will fix it or else my good ol' Barton will be around for a long while.

I just picked up a new SP-97 to cool my overclocked Barton and it is working wonders. The only place I found that sells them as of yet is heatsinkfactory.com and they charge pretty hefty but it works really well. I use a 92mm M1A on mine and an L1A should work fine also, just watch those temps at fi...

Thanks for the input all. Considering my psu has fans that could work as exhaust I may try it without the 120mm stealth as well as you all have done. It puts out an annoying click when running anyways.

My silent build I have been working on is slowly getting more quiet thanks to you all so I have I have one more question. Will one 120mm Vantec Stealth exhaust fan be enough in this setup? It has a P3 1.1 w/ no overclock and fairly good cooling. The case has pretty good airflow and very little clutt...

I want to pickup one of the Fortron 530w PSUs but I'm worried about the noise. I know the 120mm ones are pretty silent but what about the ones with two 80mm fans? They still have the noise killer deal on them so what do you think? http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=1&submit=Go&descriptio...

Ok, so there are no fans blowing on that Zalman hs? Or is one blowing in the hole to the duct? That is amazing that the HS cools that well with no fan. Very nice setup you have there.

I happen to sell Kingwin products and have messed around alot with the KT-424 and loved it. Not only does it look incredible but as you said it has the added options like the removable tray. For a portable pc for lans and such it is a perfect choice as its light as a feather especially if you stick ...

Has anyone tried to use a 120mm fan attached to the side of the case to blow over that CPU sink?

You could always go for a full tower like the Inwin Q500. It has enough room to hold however many drives you want in there and has alot of room for silencing materials.

I just used arctic alumina adhesive. It was permanent but it worked so well it was worth.

When I had a stock AMD cooler on my card it was really heavy and bowed the card some. What I did to fix it was make a small stand to prop up the card. I had rubber on both sides to help hold off vibrations and it would have worked fine with no fan at all for silence.

Well Trip for that I used small rubber O rings I found at lowes or home home depo. Be sure to bring the screw with you because they hav a ton of sizes. They are in the plumbing isle, or where it says something like "faucet or sink repair" or something similar. They are nice and cheap for 10. I also ...

Not sure if this is something that would help as I have no idea how these work but here goes. Would the large heatsink work better if it was all copper as well?

Very very nice job. I really want one if they go up for sale.

I am looking into buying some of these but would like some info from users or reviews. Please post some links to reviews or personal info. Better surround headphone input would be great also. Thanks.

It looks to be something similar to pax.mate on the inside to me plus no room for 120mm or even 92mm fans. Does anyone use this and like it?

Well I am building a new w/c rig and figured I would go for a silent rig at the same time. I found some foam called "Ester" and afet no relies here and no threads in search I bought some. It is a type of packing foam also used for sound absorbtion. It is very cheap and I was told it is better than t...

Try the Inwin Q500 it has plenty of room for fans and foam and a silde-out tray.

Well you could get the chieftec, etc cases but you would still need a psu. With buying the antec 3700 you will get a reliable failry quiet psu along with it for as much as you pay for just the chieftec. Those grooves may help a little with noise I'm not sure but they do help with airflow so they are...

I tried to remove this door when doing some painting a while back. If you are not worried about breaking the little tabs off the door then it will come off no problem. I didn't take mine off because I was, they seem like in theory they are made to slide out with a little pressure but to me they woul...

Very interesting, that seems it woudl work but I'm not sure it would fit. Anyone that has one could you measure the wudth, height, and length of it for me? That was basically the design I was thinking about but I may go with the foam/velcro setup.

Whats NoVibes?

Well actually I have some ester foam coming in this week for the whole case so all I would need is the velcro. Do you think the velcro will be able to handle the drive though?
