    Can Thermalright Silver Arrow fit in an Antec P183?

    Does anyone have much experience fitting a Silver Arrow/Cogage Arrow in P183 (or any of the P18x line)? I read forums where some people had trouble closing the side panel, and others having just enough clearance. May depend on mobo. Does anyone have personal experience with this particular...

    Help:Intel i7 & GTX280 gaming rig crashing, is it PSU issue?

    Thanks everybody for all your help. Actually, now I'm 100% sure it's the videocard that's bad. I just went to Best Buy and purchased a Corsair 750W PSU that has a single 12V rail that's rated at a beastly 60A. The video card still craps out during graphic tests. I know the RAM is fine by...

    Help:Intel i7 & GTX280 gaming rig crashing, is it PSU issue?

    This seller and I met up personally and I believe him to be trustworthy. He said he sent the rig to Gateway once and they replaced the PSU and videocard and mobo. He also stressed that he would be willing to give me a full refund and he'll just take it back (he is local to my area). It may be...

    Help:Intel i7 & GTX280 gaming rig crashing, is it PSU issue?

    I just got a Gateway FX6800-09 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-090-_-Product) from a fellow Hardforum member for a good price. But when I run 3DMark Vantage or any serious gaming, the whole system hangs and doesn't respond. I'm thinking the PSU has issues, but I want to get some more...

    Help! Windows XP boots, but monitor is blank!

    I just installed Windows XP Pro for my friend's computer. It posts just fine, and goes to the Windows splash screen, but after that, nothing shows up on the monitor. When I enter Safe Mode, however, everything is fine. He uses a Dell Mobo from 1999. Runs a 1 GHz Intel Celeron, 256mb of PC133...

    My first heavy Antec Sonata mod: blowhole, sidefan, floorfan, duct. 56K beware!

    I donno, my PSU is loud to me. I want to swap the fan out with 2 Panaflo L1As front and back of my PSU blowing air out side of my case.

    The PSU isn't that great. It's the stock PSU that came with my Sonata: Antec TruePower 380S. Still going strong too.

    the NB cooler is plugged into a resistor that came with my Zalman fan. So it's not noisy at all

    A few additions have been made. It's in bold in the 2nd paragraph somewhere. Now it's actually quieter before the mod.

    Well, it's not quiet, but it's at the same noise level as pre-mod since I try to get my fans as quiet as I can with my Rheobus fan controller

    My first heavy Antec Sonata mod: blowhole, sidefan, floorfan, duct. 56K beware!

    It's Memorial day weekend here in Atlanta GA and its a rainy day outside so I thought I'd hack up my Sonata a bit. Since I did all this in one go, I couldn't determine out much help each mod did to my temps. Before: With Panaflo 92mm M on my SP97 and a 120mm L as exhaust. Stock passive Epox...
