@ elpibe, Incredible boxes you have there. That's a small fortune! The black Altium VR1000 is one nice case. Thanks :) I'm currently contemplating whether to add the WiNDy Cube Energy MC3 to my collection. Would love to have a NAS at home although I don't really need it :? -------------------------...

I've tried SI-128, SI-128SE, Andy and Noctua NH-C12P and the one with the best performance is the SI-128SE. It easily beats the Andy by 2 to 3 deg C * and the Noctua by 1 to 2 deg C * * tested with Scythe Kaze Jyuni 800rpm fan (installed inside a case) There are a lot of people out there who are con...

BUMP. Wondering the same. 500gb is one platter but at the same time StableTracâ„¢ is not available on 500gb and I wonder what difference it makes. 500GB has 2 x 250GB platters. 1TB has 4. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Click http://img.photobucket.com/...

Nice looking CPU heatsink.
I'm definitely going to get one if it performs better than TR SI-128SE.

I believe it was a joke, sort of. But I think there was a serious point there. If you live in a place that SVC does not sell to, then you would get refused a sale. Also, if you have a bad credit history or a history of challenging credit charges, the order might be declined. I think most of you mis...

There's obviously more to the story than just this one email. Where you trying to order a bunch of Thermaltake stuff from them? Why don't you fill in the details a bit. There isn't any. It was just a simple online order placement worth about US$110 followed by an e-mail confirmation of the order an...

That's weird that the seek noises are rated as louder for the 500GB one. Maybe the added density of the extra platters deadens the seek noise a bit? Or perhaps its the louder idle noise that is masking the seek noise a bit? -Ed It's because the 500GB version doesn't have this : StableTracâ„¢ - The ...

I thought if the fan points upwards, the air has nowhere to go in the PSU compartment at the bottom of the P180. I thought it should blow air out the back. I could return this one, but i ordered from Dell. So they charge 15% restocking fee and i have to pay shipping costs. :( I think you're mistake...

Yes, do it. I can assure you that you'll be glad you did. I switched from S-Flex E to Minebea Low to Slipstream (all running at 800rpm) and have observed lower noise and better temps with each round of change. Be prepared to replace the fans annually though as sleeve-bearing fans get noisy rather qu...
