    Going passive cooling. Need suggestions

    I have an 80mm and 120mm fan on the cpu. My main concern is noise. I am trying to avoid another fan if possible. Moreover, I may not push my system that much. The stock cpu fan (in qfan) mode is still too loude for me.

    Hmm. Yes, I have this rig in my bedroom and I realy hate the noise now. In fact I even hate the read/write noise from my 120G WD disk :( Will the 380W Seasonic handle an upgrade like an extra DVD drive or a 7800GT? Thanks.

    Playstation audio connection to PC

    What is the best way to connect my PS2 'audio' output to my PC? I have connected the video output directly to my 24" fp using the component video input. One way I can think of is through the mic input in my mobo. Any other other suggestions? I am not planning on spending big bucks on this...

    Wester Digital SATA 120GB HDD

    Hi, I just installed a new WD120GB SATA disk on my rig. I feel that the noise it makes while accessing data is too noisy compared to my Maxtor 260GB SATA disk. Is this regular for WD harddisks? The noise drives me crazy... damm I wish I bought another Maxtor. Any comments. Thanks.
