http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/3100/dsc00031da6.jpg Try that. That's how the suspension in my case looks like right now... by no means pretty, but it gets the job done methinks. I also have a 120mm fan pointed at it..but that will be featured in another project. Right now it doesn't really do m...

Reviving a dead thread? Perhaps.. but I've got legit stuff to ask, and maybe Bluefront can help me out. So, I'm thinking of using this layout in my SFF case which is extremely cramped. I managed to fit a suspended hard drive in there, but its now heating up quite a bit. I have a 120 mm fan pointed a...

Its definitely not the lights or the AC/DC brick. If I just pull my head out of that 'cave' area, the humming disappears immediately. As it stands right now, with my head just under 1m, I can hear the humming. If I stand up, it goes away. If I duck down underneath the table, it also goes away. I'm p...

Well, the point, there shouldn't be any energy in the area enough to cause my case itself to vibrate. I was just wondering where the humming sound is coming from, since I've even gone as far as to removing the computer itself from the area and I'm still getting the hum. While the panels aren't the t...

Humming without the computer
Well.. I've got a good idea on what may be going on, but I wanted to ask you guys. As of right now, my WD2500KS is sitting on a piece of foam which is easily compressed. However, I am still getting some extremely disturbing humming sounds. I proceeded to turn my computer OFF.. and I found that even ...

Now the only thing left that is annoyingly loud is the Power supply. My DVD drive is not a short one so replacing the power supply with a full size one is a last resort. Which DVD drive do you have? I can fit an standard ATX PSU into my X-Q [well, I have a microfly which is 1'' longer, so 25mm longe...

I can guarantee you that isn't the problem because all my fans are manually controlled with fanmates, or directly plugged into non controllable fan headers on the motherboard. T'is VERY strange... And honestly, the only thing I can think of which can have such a severe effect is the power supply *po...

I personally find it extremely easy to bundle everything together [like, leave it in the original bundle that the manufacturers ship the PSU to you in] and just yank the ones you need, out. This way, you're pretty much guaranteed to have a bundle you won't use and can stash behind the motherboard tr...

Strange results..
Currently I have a WD2500KS embedded into a Coolermaster Cooldrive Lite. I find that something very strange is happening. This result is consistent and has been proven over the course of a week. When I'm playing music from my hard drive, the drive reads around 60C [keep in mind this is the batch of ...

My friend has owned the NMedia PSU before. Bloody as hell as loud, not even close to quiet at startup. I remember talking to one of the admins on the NCIX forum who asked MikeC to test an NMedia PSU [the 400W one, I believe] and MikeC simply said that it starts out too loud at greater than 30dba@1m....

That's okay. As for folding Ribbon Cables, I'd highly search up 'Cablegami'. Some advice for you though.. Ribbon cables can tolerate extremely high pressure folds. Try to fold it like a piece of paper [except you'd need a bit more force]. The cables still work even if you fold them like that and wil...

However, I never read someone having increased temps when they changed the mounting of the HDD to suspended. Well, its a 100% 'yes' that I can give you: When you suspend a hard drive, temperatures, regardless, will go up. Even if you do have a teeny bit of airflow over them, no matter what, they'll ...

I'm running a TR XP90 with an 80mm fan.. I have zero specs on it, but it spins at a max of 1800RPM and is VERY unobtrusive, which was a surprise, because it came with my case. I can't hear it over my HDD, which is the single loudest component in my case. The HDD is hard mounted. I've yet to come up ...
