-- some pretty good ones, too.
Obviously nice work, looks like a good system. So... how quiet is it?
As I'm sitting 1m from the case (I can touch it when i sit begind the PC) you can't hear the PC at all. The only time you can hear it is when you realy focus and try to hear someting and then you'll hear the fans only. The biggest noise maker is my damn DVD player. I've orderd a new Samsung DVD writer (with SATA connectors!). This one (NEC) realy sucks ass.

When I go to sleep and leave downloads on, can bearly hear it..

Did you use that Bequiet Noise Absorder -kit? If so, where did you put it?
Good observation, no I didn't use them yet. Will do later after I get my new Samsung DVD writer (tomorow!)

That tower is screaming - TIP ME OVER. Put it on the ground or something!
Well, actually when I first saw the case on the web I expect it to be a BIG case, but it's a very small case tho. There is only 'some' room left in the lower chamber at the PSU. But the rest just fits.. Also think you just need a case like this or bigger for a cooler like the Ninja.
Don't get what you mean with "tip me over"? :-p

I've got a few questions:
Did both types of fan mounts ship with the Nexus fans? *the silicon screws & silicon gasket*
Are those accessories included with the Orange Nexus fan also included with the Black/White versions? and does
http://www.svc.com/ or
http://www.jab-tech.com/ carry the new retail packages?
I haven't seen any online-retailer with the Gainward 8600GT, where did u purchase it?
I also see u removed the fan in the lower psu chamber, did u tape up the grill around the psu?
This is a little off topic, but the P180's are now shipping with updated P182 features correct? *cause i prefer the black color, and its about 40 bucks cheaper
*
AWESOME cable'ing job, nice build, i'll be lookin back at this thread for my future silent build
1) The fan mounts that were delivered with the fan are the same I orderd. Didn't know for sure if I would get the new Nexus fans
2) Can't tell, I got the orange ones. The Black and White version was expensiver (+2euro!) Wasn't worth it. And looking back now, orange fits nice in the case.
I'm from the Netherlands and orderd from a local dealer, so can' tell you about those 2 websites. If I were you, I'd just send them a mail and ask them to check the package.
3) I got the 8600 also from a local PC dealer here in NL
4) No I didnt tape the grill around the PSU. Don't see why I shoudl... The PSU doesnt get hot and the PSU lowe chamber is sealed off from the top chamber.
5) I think so, The 182 is a improved version of the 180. There is also a 182SE and 190! (expensive tho)
6) If you want more pics. Ill be glad to provide them :p I got 100+ more!

This aint HQ ... The orginal pics are 3888 x 2590 :p I think the cabeling could be better. I'm gonna re-do them 2morow when i get the SATA DVD writer. NO MORE BULKY IDE!!!!!!!!!. I had to be sure to get the best out the case so I want ahead and used the susspension. And also, I dont have any fans in the lower chamber to get the HD cooled.

Or has nexus released a new version of those?
Yea, these are the new versions. No closed corners! Nexus released these a few weeks/month ago.
protellect wrote:Is the hard disk in the upper bay or the lower bay?
The HD is in the top chamber below the DVD player. In the 5.25 bay.
vizzle wrote:Like Tikka above, I too am interested in whether the Nexus fans now come with open corners?
Jackal, if you can list which website you got them from, it would be much appreciated!
Sure can do:

ryboto wrote:Did you buy the HX for the modularity? You obviously don't need that much power, just curious.
For different reasons, 1) yes because it was modular (to get a tidy case) 2) it is DAMN silent! 3) 520 maybe overkill but rather be on the save side 4) 5 year warenty!

Well this is a budget PC! SO i had to cut costs. Hope the cabeling will get a bit better 2morow with the SATA DVD player.-_-
