I'm sure the cooling is superb, but it sure soudns like a Harrier taking off. Vertically. In a small room. Empty, with no furniture & stuff to dampen the sound.

Wow...its really cramped in there!

I think I might use one of those 80mm Nexuses with my P3.

This looks awesome! And it comes with Supreme Commander!

This might be worth looking in to when i get my 7600GT..

Pay for NOD32. Its worth it.

Is it worth 20 bucks?

I just noticed your rear case fan. Isn't that one of those OEM Panaflos that no one can ever find?

Most Socket A heatsinks are backwards compatible with Socket 370.

I am somewhat amazed at how little heat the later model Pentium 3 produces. I have a 930mhz Coppermine-T, and it really makes very little heat. I only have one fan in the system now (a 80mm scythe at 5v) and it is perfectly happy.

Jesus christ, this is horrible!

It puzzles me why they do not use a Core 2 Duo or something similar in this.

Anything over 700W is pure marketing. It's just like +2L engines. Why would you need, say, 5L V8, or any bigblock? Only reason I see is for such engines to go with cars like Chargers and police Crown Vic's so we can watch some good chases. Remember Bullit ? No, seriously, if you don't know what's i...

seems cheap enough

Not really. A Nexus is only a dollar more, and the CFM is very low.

Personally, i would buy two Yate Loons instead.

Why would anyone ever need to have this?

Its going to be used as a storage drive in a backup machine ( which will be idling most of the time). I have used several old Fireballs in the past, and If i can stand them I suppose I can stand this. The reason that I want to use it is that I read that they were pretty fast for their time.

I recently acquired one of these drives from a 800mhz Pentium 3 IBM desktop that had been sitting powerless for about a year. I just took it out of the case, and my first thought was "Oh cool, a deathstar!" :lol: http://www.herforder-vinothek.de/pc/pics/hdd2.gif I know the old 75GXP (was it?) had a ...

Seagates have always made random "clicking" "buzzing" "ticking" "thunking" sounds depending on which model you have. Whenever the drive is idle it moves the internal parts around to increase their life. It's normal but annoying. You arent kidding. I have a 80gb ST380011A and it makes all kinds of t...

Not a bad design really, sort of like a Zalman.

I was kinda hoping it would be fanless...>_>

i'm guessing thats a cooler master elite..i've got one for my server upstairs [i don't use it as a server though, just audio recording/editing] i found cooling to be much greater after removing the metal plates in the 5.25" bays..if they front panel is going to be mesh, you might as well make it ef...

Hello, Some tin snips would do ya' some good?! Restrictive fan grills are the enemy of quiet and cool running systems. :wink: Well, I tried but this case prevents me from cutting them completely out like I wanted. http://img489.imageshack.us/img489/6880/1111911506me5.jpg The rear grill is mostly cu...

I built this a while back, and finally got some pictures of it.

You can have two burners on the same IDE channel, in fact I have a DVDRW and a CD-RW working right now.

bLiNd - Extreme G G Storm OC Remix

What temps do you get with this?

I have a slot PII in a Ubuntu box that needs this pretty badly I think.

Anyone else have a problem with that?

I have a Speedstream model (not sure which one), and it has an EXTREMELY loud coil whine. Its more noticeable when torrenting or other heavy downloading.

It drives me insane.

Do I need to buy a fan for it?

Yeah. Any 92mm should work, though I prefer a Nexus:

The Thermalright SI-97a is a very capable choice.

http://www.svc.com/si97-amd-21.html

I am running a socket 939 Opteron on it and it works for that, so you should be fine.

Kremmit wrote: Thermalright SI-97a

Another good choice, in fact I am using one right now, but they seem to have gotten rather rare as well. Its a very capable cooler if you can find it.

Thats very clean looking. I like it.

I would suggest the Scythe Katana, but I cannot find it in stock anywhere anymore. It fits everything, and it should be able to handle that load.
