I want a quiet gaming computer what hd and video card should i get i already ordered the ati and seagate hd but i can call in morning and change what i want the psu on the shuttle is quiet running 32db than there is couple fans inside so its pretty quiet.

I would like to know for quietness what hd is better? for performance which one is faster? than for video cards will passive cooling not be good enough for gaming will my case not be able to cool it good enough i know its hard to fit in case but i heard of a couple of people doing it and it working fine and my last question how loud is the ati x800xl?

here is a guy with samsung spinpoint p series and gigabyte passive cooling x800xl. http://forums.sudhian.com/messageview.a...atid=43&threadid=77598&highlight_key=y

i wouldnt have to call newegg back if that is the case. i am reading this from sfftech.com and hes getting good temps on his card so i dont know this is gonna be a hard decision.

i need to make a decision now, at 7am i am gonna have to call and tell them i want to cancel or change my order which ever one they want to do.

I have heard horrid reviews on the ATI Shuttle. All good reviews on the SN25P shuttle. Maybe you should research more about it.

naa u heard sumthing about the bios. from my understanding shuttle is having a hardtime making some good bios for it. i am told to use the "u" bios.
