is the top vent/120mm fan spot blocked/fan located there? in my p180, I first had that area blocked, thinking noise would escape from it, when exactly the opposite happened (it was much louder blocked, with the noise coming from the back of the computer). I unblocked it, and it's fine, and also keep...

budget cooling for 3000+ Venice Core
Hey guys, My friend's building a 'low' level gaming pc, and we are doing as much as we can to get the noise down as well. For cooling for his A64 3000+ Venice core, I'm having a tough time deciding between the Freezer A64 (29 bucks) versus the XP-120 (48 bucks). I have the XP-120 myself and know tha...

LOL.. you guys here @ this forum must be super obessed with quietness because I dont think the 4 120mm fans (including power supply) I have running are loud at all. Only thing disturbing me is the 6800U. Once I replace that "leaf blower" then I will be happy. The chipset it only loud if you have yo...

Not the best entrance, but WELCOME TO SPCR Phantron!! I received my P180 today, and the only complaint I have of it thus far after inspecting it is that there is some sort of glue residue at points along my side panels that I needed to rub off with a cloth and solvent (similar to the residue you mig...

I'd go with the XP-120 and get whatever 120mm fan will suit your needs best (Nexus 120mm should work fine at 1000rpm's, even with overclocking). For a fan controller, I'm not sure, I just use the Zalman fan mates myself on two of my fans, and i plug the rest into my DFI Lan Party NF3 250gB which I c...

http://store.yahoo.com/directron/epia5000.html Just ordered the VIA EPIA-5000 from www.directron.com It seems to me that 500mhz should be MORE than enough for their needs (web surfing, email, word processing, instant messaging, and the occasional use of tax cut 2003). Does anyone have a recommendat...

I've decided to go Mini-ITX, mainly because I'd like to stick with windows. I think I will go with the VIA 600mhz cpu/mobo combination (not sure of exact product name) mainly because it's passively cooled, and that's as much processor speed as they would need. I'd stick a 512 stick of something good...

Re: Definitely a C3...
Something like a VIA EPIA M10000 would be a good choice. Use the onboard video, sound, network, etc. All you would need is a case, a slimline DVD and a 2.5" HDD and they'd be set. Only one moving part (CPU fan), and some cases get away from that with heatpipes. I've found with parents, that the few...

Building Parents a New Computer; In Need of Recommendations
Hey guys, Recently my parents have been having some computer issues with the one I threw together for them a while ago, and I decided it would be best for me to just junk their old one (sell it in parts) and build them a new one from scratch. This computer would NOT need to be fast by any means, bec...

I just put my order in for the (silver?) P180 at www.centralcomputer.com
I'm currently writing them an email to confirm that it is indeed in stock, or else I will most likely end up canceling my order depending on the wait time. The P180 was $139.95 with about $27 for shipping.

74GB Raptors? Whine Gone?
It has been a while, but from what I've read by searching, are the 73gb WD raptors (WD740GD) safe to get for a silent pc? My main concern is with the whining, has it been fixed? The seeks are something I have learned to deal with, and if those get too great I can suspend them with ease. Any input wo...
