Ah, thanks for all the replies. You guys are officially stars.

Just a couple more questions:
a) What is the story with the leads on Panaflo fans? I really wanna plug them into a 3pin mobo header. Is that do-able?
b) Do I need any extra screws to attach it to the Zalman arm thing?

Panaflo 120mm or 80mm ?

Hi guys, I could do with a little advice on a purchase. At the moment I have an stock XP1600+ running with a Zalman Cu flower hs with the supplied Zalman fan with a fanmate on the slowest/quietest setting. To my ears, this is still noisy (anyone else reckon this?). I could replace this with a Panafl...

Cheapest place: www.koolnquiet.co.uk
It sells the Seasonic OEM for less than anywhere else AFAIK.

Hmmm, depends on price/availability. I found the Seasonic cheaper. The noise is OK, tho I'll mod it when the guarantee runs out.

So, if I moved it I would need:
-Long video cable
-Long keyboard cable
-Long mouse cable

And energy to put in DVDs when needed :P
Anything else?

Screw quiet, I want silent

Hi guys, I'm completely fed up of 'quieting' my system. This is kinda a rant; I just want it to be silent, how hard can it be?! Even my flipping monitor buzzes. It's a complete pile of junk. The stupid GF2MX fan temps go through the roof when I disconnect the fan. Ahhhhhhhh! I'm gonna need: -Silent ...

-UPDATE 4-
Received this morning. Came with no box or manuals :( (!) Installed easy. Very quiet, tho not as quiet as I would have liked. I'd give it 6/10. Now, to replace that northbridge fan!

-UPDATE 3-
My father refused to supply his CC details over the phone (?!) so I gave my debit card details instead. The guy works from home, is very nice and apparently sources stuff from France for cheap prices. He said the PSU should be with me tomorrow or Friday.

-DVD playing noise, but I think you already implied that.

Sound good to me. A quick user review of the Pioneer 106S:
-Not quiet.
-Slot drive is apparantly ever so slightly noiser than the tray version.
-Acceptably quieter but still not good when slowed with s/w available from the Pioneer website.

-UPDATE- They rang me today (on my mobile!) to enquire if I had received their email. I hadn't and still haven't. Though the man said I could pay with a credit card after all. Argh. I'll keep you updated. BTW, I thought I saw a passive PFC 300 SS at Silicon Acoustics. Oh, OK then, I stand corrected....

Oz, I'm getting it from koolnquiet, from the link MikeC suggested. Their online purchasing system is really archaic - last night I placed the order and they mailed me saying "We will contact you shortly to arrange payment"! And I don't think they accept credit cards. Shipping is £8.65 after VAT :( n...

About to buy Seasonic SS-300FS...

Hi guys,
I'm about to buy the Seasonic SS-300FS PSU. Any last minute good experiences/warnings in the next 15mins before purchase?

I'm getting it for a touch over £50. Zalman ZM300A-APF not available in the UK and the Q-Tech 300W is more expensive. Good decision?

I've got the C1XN, the product just behind yours. It has a 700Mhz-ish Celeron. AFAIK, the hdd is soldered in on these VAIOs and can't be replaced, although I may be corrected by someone who knows better?
