    Dremel

    hello the dremel i have is old, but i'm not sure how old. i'd say 10 or more years. anyways, it was made for woodworking and very fine procedures like that, so pc modding is a natural for it. it looks just like a normal dremel, except for where the bit is, there is a rubber looking hose...

    dirty fans

    depending on how old the power supply is, it could be your bearings. i haven't heard of dust causing noise in a p/su, but you can just vaccume it out through the vent slots and find out. if it continues, then you know it's the bearings.

    choosing a good harddrive hsf

    i have 2x WD 80 GB 7200 RPM SATAs that run pretty much all the time. they have a single 80mm fan blowing directly on them, and whatever else air circulates to them. they are always cool enough to the touch, never hot at all.

    screwless fan - where to get it

    heya i know exactly what your talking about. I have a thermaltake case that uses the same things. i enjoy them, seeing as they dampen the vibration noise and are easy to dink around with. ANY 80mm fan will work, just pop the old fans out and snap the news ones into place. They are quiet and...
