Just got three from NewEgg. Took my chances though as they would not check before sending. One happy camper.

Not anymore. They now state on their web-site that they will not do this.

Fan Suggestions

I am outfitting a new case (Silverstone LC10) and need to put in the following:

(2) 60mm fans
(1) 92mm fan
(1) 120mm fan (on Thermalright XP-120)

Looking for recommendations, as well as a place to purchase these. Can't seem to find much in stock anywhere.

Thanks

Samsung SP1614C - 3.5" or 5.25" bay?

Which size bay does this drive require. I've looked on the net (albeit briefly) and can not find the information.

Thanks

Where to Buy

Best place to buy Nexus and Panaflo fans.

Nexus for case, Panaflo for CPU (120mm). Also looking for good grommets to keep them quiet. Recommendations?

Thanks

Can't seem to find anything on a 3.2 Northwood for the 775 socket. No listings on Pricewatch.

Anyone know where one can find such a processor?

Thanks

My understanding is that it is indeed a Prescott as the motherboard is a 915 based system Socket T. However, the 3.2 is the coolest of the Prescott pieces. Should this not be fine. After some discussion with my engineers here (who were looking to build the system in house) and Tim over at Niveus, we...

Alright, I read the article on the mods for the Silverstone LC03. The question arises though with that many fans: 2 60mm 3 80mm 1 120mm (CPU Cooler) 1 120mm (PSU) 1 on VGA card How can this thing ever approach being quiet? Is it really that necessary to have so many fans to keep this case cool? From...

BTW: After all of my reading, I am concerned as to how well a system can work (Denali) being TOTALLY FANLESS. Supposedly they have designed their own case with Heat Pipes, designed to professional audio amplifier type specs, but I still don't see how it is going to stay cool. Especially in a rack wi...

MikeC Seems like the 3.2 gHz part is MUCH cooler than the 3.4, though cool is not a word I would use for 100 watts. As for the need for 775 parts, the Dolby Digital Live is hardware built into the motherboard, and currently the 6600 is only a PCI-E part, thus the 775 motherboard. The Denali uses (2)...

Which then are the quietest fans. Unfortunately I am stuck with the Prescott Processor, as I want to use both the nVidia 6600 and need Dolby Digital Live processing for gaming to encode the multi-channel into DD in real-time. I have been looking to find a good source on the heat output of the 3.2, 3...

Building the ULTIMATE - SILENT HTPC

Was thinking about purchasing the Niveus Media Denalia ($4,000) However, it has been brought to my attention that it is possible to build a TRULY SILENT PC with only a few fans (not entirely fanless as is the Niveus system). Silence is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT, as is construction and power. I had also co...
