I'm no expert, I just have a few questions.

I'm assuming that the Case Vents are Fans, right? So if you're going to go with Papst, make sure you're getting the right ones. The exact model number is around here somewhere...

Can you maybe send a picture or description of the CPU cooler?

Thank you.

That's interesting, for sure.

Why the gaping hole in the back and the three in the bottom?

Interesting setup. How's it do temp and soundwise?

Is it easy? Or will I have to take a hairblower and all that jazz to it?

Can anyone help me out? It's an MSI Radeon 9500 Pro.

Thanks.

I'm a little confused.

If the gelpack isn't frozen, how does it help temperatures? Is it because the heat is transfered through the packs? Or what?

Thanks.

Wow... where's the noise coming from?

How did you get it to run at 5v?

5000 bucks?

Try ARM systems.

Or the TNN Zalman case and go crazy.

I went to the Thermalright website, and underneath "Intel Coolers" it lists an "SB-2". It's got all copper radial fin design. I would send a link, but thermalright's website has no direct link to it and I couldnt find another website mentioning it. www.thermalright.com Looks interesting, and has som...

Hrm... So what kinds of tape are safe underneath the motherboard. And about putting wires under the motherboard, my plan is to sort of outline the motherboard's perimiter directly on to the case, and then put the wires there before hand. It seems to me that that's the only way to get it UNDER the mo...

WOOO I cant WAIT for the review. GOGOGOGOGOGOGO!!!

FLAT HEATPIPE!!!

I KNEW people would start incorporating those heatsink by heatsink...

That's the flat heatpipe, right? The kind found on those mini-atx mobos?

What kind of material is the backplate shield cover?

Is it safe to route those IDE cabes DIRECTLY behind the motherboard?

As in, the IDE cables are touching the metal and plastic of the motherboard?

And same with power cables?

Wow thank you. You knocked that question right the hell out. You're the greatest.

http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=11653 Like that? I tried to put the link above to give you an idea, but you jumped on it, I guess. :P I think it's a real good idea. However, I think that it would look neater if instead of all those holes, you CUT out a rectangle with rounded corners...

If a fan is "thermally controlled" and I hook it onto a motherboard CPU fan header, can I still control how fast it spins? I have a thermally controlled Antec fan hooked up to my mobos fan header, and I cant get a reading on it with Speedfan or anything. Is this how it is with Acoustifans and Globes...

Are there any other suggestions for a 92mm to top an SP-97?

Any tried and true stories?

Thanks a lot, man.

Can someone please tell me the fan model numbers of the quietest (dur) papst fans, 80, 92, and 120?

This is, of course, ideally, without the undervolting click that I've heard about.

Thanks a bunch.

I was wrong, the IceQ II DOES evacuate the heat. I must have been confused while reading a review and got the wrong impression.

They're the same, I think, except the Exalibur cooler shoots the hot air back into the case, not evacuated like the VGA silencer.

I gotta tell you... If you're going to get such a high quality sound card, you better get CRAZY speakers. I recommend the Z-680's, or since you have a THREE THOUSAND dollar price cap, you could just get a reciever and two stereo speakers and hook that up. If I had to choose between the two, I would ...

Wait... they DONT spin at 5 volts, and that's good? I'm confused. Or was that sarcastic. ANYWAYS, Maybe you can try using homebuilt 80-120mm fan adapters. just hook up three Papst 120s to eachother, then take out the 3 fans in the Exos, then make your own little funnel from the three papsts into the...

Very nice cuts. And looks like you went to work with a can of compressed air there haha.

Could you explain why you cut the hole in the MB tray?

And arent you worried about the WDs overheating? Looks like they have no way of getting some breathing air.

Hey! That's the same cheap-o case that I have!

I like your front mod, looks very professional.

JUNK the vantec stuff. If you have a little extra dough, slap a thermalright on that bad boy. Replace the Stealths with Panaflo L1As (which seem to be the reigning champions) or other fans on the SPCR recommended lists. Umm ditch the WD, get a Spin Point. Go with the Samsung (This I gather from the ...

Do you think that the massive frame will fit on top of a Thermalright cooler?

Yes, but I'm afraid of the clicking that might come from a Chinaflo 92.

Howdy, fellas: I'm buying and SP-94 for my 2.6, non-OCd. Will an 80mm Japanaflo L1a at ~6v cool it well enough with having to adjust the voltage to be higher for more CPU intensive programs? Ralf Hutter uses a 92mm at 6V, but that's a 3.0. If anyone has had any experience or some wisdom, please share.

How are your temps doing?
