I think it's older than that! I got it before they started calling them names, it just has a number - SSF300, I think, but I'm not sure. Anyhow, it's been okay since I got the new case and a couple of Nexus 120mm fans, I think I just need to make sure it doesn't get too hot... The Nexus fans are onl...

I'm planning, as soon as I can get enough money, on something of a refit, and the fanless PSU idea seems pretty groovy. I saw th...
