Vinyl Dampening? (on the P150 case)

We all know that the P150 has vinyl sheets attached the 2 sides and the top. Would adding more vinyl panels to the other parts of the case help much? I am thinking of adding it to the back of the motherboard tray and also the bottom part of the case. I am considering buying some of these sheets from...

I think it is safe to tape off the gpu vent. Prescotts are damn hot; its part of Intel atx specifications to have a cpu vent there, so I would leave the cpu vent unless you have some good intake fans pulling in air. On the other hand, my brother has a run of the mill Dell dimension with a prescott, ...

1) The newer versions have been fixed serial no. S0511 and later (year/month). I don't know if there are any markings or anything on the box that can tell you this, you might have to open up the case and look at the serial on the PSU to tell. You can try to ask what date they get the shipment in, al...

Can you tell us the serial no. on your PSU?

EDIT: Ah screw it! I caved in and bought one, since there is a good deal on Newegg right now (as of Feb 10th). ANTEC IS EVIL!! :evil:

There is lots of concern about the NeoHE and Asus MBs. Everyone has been waiting for the incompatability to get cleared up.

Thanks!
Yes, I concur, since I am on the verge of buying one myself. If it wasn't for the PSU problem, I would have bought one a long time ago.

Antec would make a killing if they would just sell these cases at a 100-120 price point, since their PSU alone costs around 70 dollars. I know I would snap up one right away if they did that.

Hey, you can't argue with free dampening blocks. I just thought it needed mentioning because it fits perfectly in 3.5" slots. If you have enough friends to request these things, you can concievably line your entire case with this stuff or glue them together to make a mattress topper, although i don'...

You can request a sample through their site. I think its one per household, so i got my friend to get me one too. Surprisingly, the block is the exact same width as a 3.5" drive, and if you flatten the block slightly it will fit snuggly in a 3.5" drive bay. I wonder how this thing compares to drive ...

Hitachi Deskstar T7K250 reliability?

I am currently look for a good performing quiet 250-300gb drive. I was originally considering a seagate 7200.8 because of Seagate's rep as makers of quiet drives and its 5 year warranty, but reading through this forum has made me think different of that. From everything ive read in this forum and fr...
