Coolermaster ATC-630, half height cards, 80mm fan, VERY nice looking, a quietish mATX PSU comes with the case (prob. not quiet by SPCR standards) I decided against this case b/c I couldn't tell if the PSU could be replaced with a Seasonic Super Versatile or not. I use the ATC-600 that has room for t...

replacing a zalman PSU, which is still pretty quiet right?, does seem to be a waste. Would an Antec PSU silencing kit work? If you do get a new PSU get an SS 300 or silentmaxx 350 (fanless, but read threads in here about them first) www.silentmaxx.com seasonic super silencer 300 or 350 or 400: http:...

Ouch, is that with the 8 to 12 weeks waiting period?

Even though this Pentium M is really new, that mobo shouldn't be more than $250, may pay up to 350, but 450 is really high.

Do you already have a Penium M?

Maybe it's cheaper to buy one with the Pentium M already installed? - I'm guessing not.

I've got an 800A on my 933 Coppermine. Go with the 900A if it'll fit. You should be able to cool that with pretty low heat, prob. even with out the back exhaust, though some kindof exhaust tube may be good. Could you fit an 80mm fan on top of a 900A in there?

Mine has screw holes, but very little room for fan, the optical drives are directly in front of both on either side... Say, how do you put these fans through a fan isolator. None of mine, 60mm or 80 seem to fit. This would add a little room as I currently have them resting half way up the isolators....

c'mon now, you can lower the speed of the exhausts and increase the speed of the intake. Put in a Vantec or whatever the strongest screamer is right now if need be.

My case has two intakes and one exhaust plus the PSU exhaust. ATC-600. Though I think you're right, most cases have negative pressure.
