I had to RMA my OCZ power steam 520Watt due to the ticking syndrome :? I just got word they are sending me a OCZ SLI-Ready GameXStream Power Supply http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/power_management/ocz_sli_ready_gamexstream_power_supply No doubt its a better psu than my previous one BUT whats i...

Maybe something like that? Not sure if they post to england, not to cheap anyway.

I dont normaly spot spelling mistakes but i found one, yay to me :D The "bend winglets" are probably the most unusual part of the design. The literature on the product page suggests that they are intended to minimize airflow resistance, but this seems odd given that they serve to add kinks in the ai...

Thanks for the link ill check it in a min. I'm not sure actually how quiet the papst is in this case, i changed from a sonata with all papst where i couldnt hear it at any rmp. I must check it again. I'm hopefully sending my psu of this week if i get round to it for rma, ill prob do a whole system r...

I've got nearly the same spec pc as you have, Solo instead of p150, diff gfx but also arctic cooler on it. That chip set cooler jing ting thing, i wish a could get one for my rig. I cant see any supliers in ireland, uk or europe. I have to RMA my psu (Ticking OCZ) before i do some cable tidying up. ...

Are you familiar with the rubber gromets the sonata has for holding fans? I used them on 1 of the front fans, screws on the other one. I dont know if thats soft mounting thou? Another user here used insulating tape and some ty-ribs. What ever you do, there is little room between the filter and the c...

Thats good enough for me :D Thanks for the fast reply. Pretty sure its a VGA silencer like yours with different paint. As for the ticking, thats a faulth with the cooler. I had the same card before this one and it ticked as well. I had to send it back because i was gettin artefact playing games, the...

I'm messing a little with ati tool here and it fan control according to gpu temp. Is it bad for the card/fan to not have it turned on? I think i can have it idle at around 50, which is still very safe i know, with the fan of. Would the rest of the card heat up to much, is i bad for the fan to have i...

Took me long enough to do, lots of dusk from the dremel cutting the metal, can imagine thus being to good if it got onto your mobo. Curved blade (RH or LH) tin-snips :wink: Good point prob works better. I got this dremel ages ago and never realy use it, this seemed like a good enough one to use it :D

Ive removed the rear grill and taped up most of the little gaps and grill by the pci slot. I didnt even try the tri cool fan, put a nexus straight in. Took me long enough to do, lots of dusk from the dremel cutting the metal, can imagine thus being to good if it got ont o your mobo. http://img80.ima...

I didnt actually.
It made a slight difference with my last case so i just cut it out.

As you can see from the pic, my dremel slipped a few times

Got the case 2 days ago. Spent 1st evening cutting out the rear fan grill and tonight rebuilding my system into it. It took me ages (2 maybe 3 hrs) to rebuild, got most of the cables tucked away behind things. Thanks antec for making both panels removable, its a blesing to say the least. Not sure ho...

Ok so i just got my Solo case, very nice i like it. Before i move my current rig into it i'd like to do some mods (can this case be improved?). Anyone idea's for mods? For starters ill be cutting out the mesh fan grils i think ill block up the vent beside the pci brackets or maybe a duct to feed air...

As far as i know the solo is steel with foam or rubber or somehting on the inside for damping noise.

I'll know in 2 days when the case arrives

No gromets for the front fans :( Me just after ordering the case and fans, but not the gromets :( Zips ties like above it is. Case looks nice, tidy inside from the pics. Mush hasle doing the build? Is it imposible to put in the psu last? I have to rma mine and was going to use a old one till i get t...

For looks i think the SOLO is the better looking case compared to the sonata.

In the mean time ive noticed OverClockers in the uk have the SOLO back in stock I just need to see about 2 92mm fans and maybe a 120mm before putting in a order

I'm having trouble finding a solo and the few other items i require.

Idea: Get a P150 and paint it black?

I actually spent the evening reading trough the Antec Solo thread which got more and more interesting as the pages went and i also read your to. I'd say i prob go for a solo few other things i want to make my mind up on first before i buy it. Pitty there's so little difference in the prices of the s...

I really like the SOLO and need some convincing before i retired my old-ish sonata. What are the main differences in aiding a cooler running pc? At the min ive the following: AMD 64 3200 with a SP90 and a Papst 92mm (which i dont think i can hear) DFI lanparty nf4 mobo HIS x800xl with the arctic coo...

I think that good enough for me to buy one

Thanks,
Jozi

Would like to know peoples opinion on these drives. Ive read the review on the 500gig model, can i expect this one to perform in the same way?
http://komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=318471 thats the one im thinking of ordering.

Thanks,
Jozi

Thanks for the replies everyone. I think ill see how thheatsink i have now works with a more quiet fan when i get round to doing a build. It's been over a year since i used the cpu and i cant remember what the voltages where. I know i was able to overclock it by a large amount with just a little bit...

I'm looking for a cooling solution for a athlone xp 2500 mobile on a Asus A7N8X-E DLX mobo.
I have a thermaltake volcano 12 that i could use, not sure what its like other than it sounding like a hoover with the fan at full tilt.
So, new fan or HS & Fan combo?

Just got a email from Kustom PC's in England, im sure some of you are aware of them, about a new version of the T Balancer as per topic title. mCubed T Balancer BigNG *Pre Order* 3730 The T-Balancer bigNG is the first 4-channel controller for air and watercooling with patented Dual Mode Technology (...

I just got a email from a english shop about a new tbalancer called "mCubed T Balancer BigNG" ill start a new thread on it now.

I hadn't taught of it like that, leaving the front open, it was more of a feature to break up what could endup being a piece of wood. Leaving vent on both sides of the unit was also an option. Or building in such a way that the pc part is at the bottom and leaving a slot/hole underneat for ventilati...

I'm thinking about building myself a unit that will hold my cd/dvd's, my surround sound reciever, my tv on top and build a pc into the unit. I have nearly enough parts for a 2nd pc and was thinking of setting up a htpc using them. I also needed a stand for my amp and so taught i might as well build ...

I dont suppose i could get them 3D fans etc of you as blocks for cad?
I've been giving a diy system some taught the last while and they might come in handy

I like the V1100, that a silent case btw?

I wish the S80 was cheaper and i would prob buy it

Do you notice a hit in battery life with the fans constantly running?
One of the reasons i got my M6Va (same laptop as V70Va) was for the spec and the battery life.
