Would recommend changing the motherboard to an nVidia 9300/9400 (nv730i) based motherboard instead of an Intel G4x. Setup two new machines last night both with Asus P5N7A-VM motherboards (see spcr review here: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article892-page1.html ), very nice mobo and definately more ...

Wojtek, your atto bench doesn't look right there... Received my 30GB Vertex last night, and did a quick test in my X38 rig: http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/6531/vertex30gb.png The drive arrived with 1275 firmware installed, and I aligned the drive as per Tony's instructions in this thread: http://w...

Few photos of a Slappa 240 for a fellow Dundonian :

I use Slappa 240 CD wallets for DJ'ing and they're miles better than UDG/Generic cd wallets, very solid cases indeed

Finally looks like the business

So whens 939 Semprons available?

Also check out the new AOpen Aeolus PCX6600 DV128LP



Looks ideal for a decent HTPC card

Anyone body else notice these? - http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=308201&cks=SPK

Samsung SpinPoint P80SD 160GB SATA II 8MB 7200RPM NCQ

Pld Samsung

Can't wait for 250 SATAII drives to arrive in stock myself tho

I see she's also stocking "Sorbothane Feet/Mounts" these days.

Might be good for anti-vibration pump mounting

Just use a 2xMolex > 6 pin PCIe connector for the second card :wink: The 500W should be enough to power even the beefiest overclocked FX55 + SLI 6800U loaded beast. Suppose that'd suffice too, but would be nice to have 2 x proper PCI-E connectors just to help keep tidy (and I imagine any SLI system...

Hardcore

Next gripe is the 600W version should have 2 PCI-E connectors to be SLI ready

Another review here - http://www.3dvelocity.com/reviews/seasonics12/s12.htm

Looks not bad, notice theres no pci-e connectors tho, also shame theres no 500W+ version too.

Just noticed someone benching with a new Seasonic S12 430w here - http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/sho ... hp?t=49332





Hopefully this means we'll see an SPCR review coming soon

An OCZ or PCP&C unit sounds more like that your after tbh, and should be alright noise wise if you plan to use 3 x raptors

(p.s. nice rig, would be nice to be rich )

Probably the best high airflow 120mm's and very smooth, but not really SPCR quiet ;) I tried 2 of them as case fans in my lx-6a19, at lowest voltage still made a noticable airflow noise but the temps were great. I just put 6 of them on my 120.3 radiator in my benching rig I'm making atm :D (due to t...

Exactly, for that price you could get an A64 3000/3200+ Winchester, Decent NF3 board and an XP-120 heatsink which would probably own the dothan on performance after overclocked. Heard that DFI are gonna make an enthusiast Dothan board based on the i915 chipset in the future though, so hopefully that...

Just noticed them so thought some people here would might be interested

Shame it doesn't have a standard heatsink mounting tho

spacey, i've read somewhere it'll fit on your neo2 but you'll need to slightly bend one of the capacitors thats in its way.

The -R appears to be the retail 'Blue Storm' versions, whereas the non -R are the standard grey looking ones. Also these come with 24-pin ATX plugs as standard now (hopefully including a 24 to 20 pin converter too). I'm gonna pick up either a FSP350-60THN/FSP400-60THN in the week sometime so hopeful...

Nice setup there Katana

Next job is to tidy up those wires

So any idea how this performs in comparison to the XP-90/120 yet? (I take it the XP-90/120 will be better if the Hyper48 performs equal to the SP-94).

The worst thing about the new ATI Silencer 1 is that theres no fan speed switch now (probably cos AC expect people will be using them on cards with PWM, and my 9800NP doesnt support it :( ) Also, I had to mod my ATI Silencer 1 to fit over my tweakmonster ramsinks :( As far as cooling i'd say theres ...
