You could always try Pentium M.

It's funny how there are two of these same conversations going on in the same bulletin boards.

At $500 for the barebones, this is tempting. It may just be worth it to buy it to play with OS X! The educational discount just adds fuel to the fire.

Aw dang you beat me to it!

Amen to that. Maybe I'll see you there tomorrow

I'm not sure if the ATi Silencers did this, but I think the reason you're getting better temps with the Zalman is because the Zalman no longer cools both the memory and the GPU.

The NV Silencers covered both the memory and GPU, so naturally, the GPU will be hotter.

Nice to hear. I am going to make the switch from my NV Silencer 5 as well.

Two questions:
1) AlCu or Cu?
2) Where did you buy it from? Only two places I see available: www.atacom.com or www.sharkacomputers.com.

Thanks.

I'm interested to see the back of this case. How do the rear grilles look?
I'm interested to see the front of this case. How does it look with the door open?

Has anyone got one of these set up yet?

Anyone have any results comparing the AlCu vs. Cu only?

Can ya blame 'em? In my opinion, Antec has never had the best design sense. It does look like a fridge.

It's interesting to see that they've utilized the V-series choice of the isolating chambers. We'll see how that turns out.

Looking forward to the review. If it's good enough, maybe I'll do the switch .

I've been using laptop style keyboards for about two years now, so I've grown accustomed to their awkwardly placed and miniature-sized buttons. FYI, I'm not getting the BlueTooth version so it won't cost me $250. I think the MSRP on it is $150. The mouse certainly isn't up to par but it would work g...

I was discussing keyboard with Edward the other day and took his word that the DiNovo was the best choice for quiet computing. It is true that the UltraX and PX5000 (?) or Mac keyboards are quiet, but they don't really match the theme I have going for my computer. In light of the Logitech LX series,...

The IntelliMouse always been lacking on quality. I believe it's somewhere around 400cpi, where the Logitech mice (MX700, MX510) are 800cpi, and the new MX1000 is 1000cpi (?). The absolute best in mice are without a doubt Razers, that is, if you don't mind corded. I'm getting the DiNovo non-BlueTooth...

Has any had any experience with these cases? They seem to be marvellously built, and quite fashionable: http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/lc11/34%20view/LC11.jpg As per SilverStone tradition, which has been in existence for only a year or so, any PCI/AGP cards are mounted in parallel with the m...

Thanks for the detailed reply.

Did you have your Arctic Cooling Silencer on some sort of resistor? Also, what are your new GPU temps?

Has anyone tried this? I'm considering getting one of these for my V1000B, but I'm a bit weary that it'd be ineffective due to the large number of holes for the sound to escape, and hard to install, due to the strange way the side doors latch on to the main chassis. According to the reviews here at ...

Have you tried the Giant Pockey? HEHE!

I'm glad you decided to suspend them. It's marvellous isn't it?

I think that mounting the drives in the 5.25'' bay is not a very good idea for the hard drive health. If I recall correctly, there was and still is a lot of dead (warm) air in the 5.25'' bay area.

StealthGirl: What's this "Black fin" you speak of?

That seems great. Isn't there a MacWorld expo at San Francisco this year? I'd like to check this thing out as it may be my first Mac box, if the price is right.

There seems to be a review out. When are these due to hit stores? Until SPCR reviews this, I think I'm going to keep my Seasonic Super Silencer 460 A3. Review: http://hi-techreviews.com/nuke/s12/s12_page1.htm http://hi-techreviews.com/nuke/s12/DSC01923.JPG Looks like they're using a Yate Loon D12SM-...

Oh wow, I love the removal of the back grill with the CD as a reference. I may have to do that, if it weren't so dangerously risque!

dma4, WELCOME TO SPCR! It's nice to see some other V-series owners around here! I had this exact same problem. I'd have to put a dictionary or some other heavy object atop my V-1000, turns out, it was due completely to my hard drives. No worries, suspension isn't that hard at all. Here's how: http:/...

He states that it is "inaudible" at 5V and that "you can only hear it if you put year ear next to it." I wonder how this cooler would perform on cases where its passive cousin fails to perform to its full potential, i.e. the V-series case line by Lian Li. The cooler sitting on top of the GPU instead...

Has anyone used this? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=27-135-124&depa=0 Supposedly it is different from the EP616Q2 because it has QT "Quiet Track" technology. I'm in the market for a new DVD-ROM and this may be it. I remember reading about it a while back. Strangely, Asus ...
