I mounted my hard drives with short bungie cords and the hard drive noise was way better, try it. I just suspended the hard drives veritcally in the same hd cage that is in your case with short small bungie cords. You could also use rubber straps but the bungies worked out since you can use the...

Antec P180 a great case and lots of fun to build. It gives so may options on fans and where to put stuff. If you like to tinker and even if you don't a great case and a good company that stands behind their products.

Best to stay away from Seasonics as the more I read about them the more bad comments I I am seeing. I had a problem with one and will never buy another one.

I have a Abit KN8 Ultra motherboard and had all kinds of boot problems with a seasonic. I would get error beeps but if I shut it off and rebooted it would boot up. I put in a Tagan powersupply and no more problems. So my Sesonics will be real quiet now as I will never use them again.

Why don't you use the one that came with it. It seems to work just fine. It is on the Cd that comes with the board.

What motherboard do you have mine runs fine at 225 and above and I have a NF3 motherboard. My DFI board wil go higher with the SATA if you use ports 3 or 4. If your board only goes to 205 I doubt that the buss is locked. Give us the brand and model of motherboard.

It may be the motherboard. I see lots of trouble with that motherboard. The reason I have not went to the 939s yet is not many choices on motherboards. DFI hurry and get your 939 board out. I have not seen many positive reports on 939 boards yet, just check out the forums on about any sight out...

I have 2 sticks of Mushkin level 1 pc3500 512 memory so I have 1024 total ram. I have had great luck with Mushkin memory but you pay for it.

I had a 3000 on my DFI board and just went to the 3400 and I think it is worth the extra cost. I am running 2580 right now and I am sure it will go much higher. Sisoft shows it to be faster than a P4 3.8 now and I am running stock voltage. I do hace a Thermalright XP120 heatsink and temps only...

If you take the VGA Silencer off use a straight edge and lay it across the gpu chip and see if you can slip a pice of paper between the shim and the straight edge. If not you may have to remove the shim. I had to remove a shim on a 9500 card I had but my new 9800 pro seems ok with the shim so...

Silenx is the best fan I have ever used as far as air flow vs noise they are much quieter than Panaflo fans. Many Panoflow fans make lots of noise when slowed down with a fan controler also it just depends on what version you get. Silenx is a great place to do business and I have never seen...

No static at all, I did them sideways because it was easier to do it as I used the hard drive cage that came with my case, Antec 3700. They are vertical instead of horazontal but it isn't supposed to make a difference. I could hear the heads when booting up before and under heavy disk access and...

I have hard drives in 2 machines mounted sideways with bungie cords and they work great. I went from hearing the hard drive seek to no hard drive noise at all. One of the best things I ever did as far as quieting things down in my case.

It is just condctive paint but if it is a short didtance it will work fine. It works on rear defoggers which have to have a heavy load on them.
