Hey, not bad Rod, looks like another candidate for SPCR ROLE MODEL. What casing is that anyway? There's this metal big brace right above the motherboard?

Ah, Ralf's rig is truly silent. He took the silent part to the max - it doesn't even have a sound card, hehehe.

You know what guys? Sometimes we need a role model to show to the newbies how things should be done. As a guideline, I suppose. Perhaps one of you here have a kickass computer that's very silent, and Mike Chin should put it up on display as "SPCR ROLE MODEL". Like in school, where the teacher shows ...

Yup, the latest heatsink from Thermalright, so new it's not even on their website! Basically it's an SP-94 copper heatsink but made for AMD processors, with its 3 heat-pipes and weight. p/s: When is SPCR, going to include SLK947u and Sp-94 into its Recommended Heatsinks list? http://myweb.hinet.net/...

Has anyone actually bought this card and is using it now? Please give us your comments?

Will it does sound like a great idea to improve airflow, I wonder if it's an electrical hazard to leave the PSU naked like that.

I guess the people who're concerned with silent/quiet computers are those 1) who don't blast their speakers all the time. 2) who overclock their PCs with 10 fans or more. Is it safe to say those who like quiet computers are more of the relaxed, clear-headed type? Maybe that's why people here seem mo...

Eh, sorry man, but I don't understand what did you do to avoid wasting a PCI slot!

I wonder if you guys agree that we should've a sticky here on this forum which lists the cards that're compatible with Zalman ZM80A/C and Artic Cooling heat sinks. A lot of topics I see here are people asking if the Zalman can fit on this one or not.... Since there're people here who uses them, it m...

Well, the BTX casings won't be here until next year, or maybe 2005, but I heard that it'd be pushing more for cooler and QUIETER PCs. Finally, at least nowadays quiet is given more consideration than merely overclocking. So what do you guys think? Should we wait for BTX or splurge on ATX casings now?

You know, my friends who're mostly overclockers will always challenge me when I talk about Panaflo and other silent fans. They sort of look down on them as they say the low CFM they produce is not worth it to cool down the system. What can I say to depend my arguement? Malaysia may be a tropical cou...

Why hasn't SPCR done a review on this PSU yet? I wanna know how it compares to the Seasonic PSUs.

Is this fan a great alternative to the Panaflo?

Wanna know your opinion on the best/strategic places to put your fans to optimise your airflow and minimise noise.

Close? The Asus PC4800 Deluxe motherboard's layout is very tight! Who uses that motherboard here?

Good job, Ralf. How much did your new system cost?

And say, you placed your heatsink fan backwards so that it sucks air instead of blow air. Do you find that it cools more efficiently this way as well as reduce the noise?

At 600g, this heatsink is HEAVY!

I was about to post this topic when I found it. Anyway, supposing if I'd a 500g Thermalright SLK-947u heatsink with 80mm Panaflo fan on it and an ATi Radeon 9800 Pro with ZM80C heatsink with an 80mm Panaflo fan on it....There's about 1 kg of weight on the motherboard. In this case, is it safe to mou...

$125.40 = RM476.52 . Hmmm....Add RM100 for tax, total RM576.52. You Aussies get it slightly cheaper.

Hey, surprising you people know about the number 4 in Chinese, you people Chinese or what? And anyway, no one seemed to mind when Intel named their processor Pentium 4...

Is it safe to say that the 350W Seasonic Super Tornado doesn't have this problem?

Will an 80mm Panaflo L1 placed in FRONT of the Barracuda V be enough to cool it down?

Anyone knows when does the 350W or 400W Super Tornado comes out?

CoolColJ, I'm also interested in purchasing the Seasonic Super Silencer from Silicon Acoustics. Please let me know if you've got it and have it delivered to your place.

I really like this casing. I'm thinking of buying it. However, over here it's quite expensive for some reason. Where did the extra cost come from anyway? This casing along with other Lian Li casing are incredibly cheap if you buy it in Taiwan!

Sounds great, but I think you need to take note of the voltage, different countries have different voltage rating for their homes. And the after-sales support too...

Very good....Now if only I can find the Seasonic PSUs in Malaysia...

Well, visited my local overclocking shop, and the guys suggested that I go for a Vantec Iceberg rather than a Zalman ZM80 heatsink for cooling the Radeon 9800Pro card. The guy was saying that the Vantec Iceberg cools very well and is also very quiet, but I'm not sure whether to believe him because t...
