Hi, Sorry if this is the wrong place, but I need 10+ 120mm fans for a build I am planning. I'd like to stick with reasonably silent well made fans, but need to keep this within my budget. Any suggestions on deals or anywhere that sells at reduced costs in bulk? Thanks in advance.

Anyone know if either of the following adapters would work with a PCI-E 2.0 capable motherboard and graphics card? http://www.orbitmicro.com/global/peflex16risarightangleflexibleextenderforpciexpressx16bus-p-4354.html...

Hi all, I've been thinking about getting a head mounted display for a while as I would like to get my Wife a new computer [most likely a Mac] for her birthday and need to move my system somewhere else. Rather than setting up a second computer in our already cramped office I was thinking that I...

Hi all, Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, but I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get an Intel Core 2 Duo processor on the cheap. I am planning on getting a ASRock 775-Dual VSTA or something similar. Was thinking of getting the E6300 as it seems to be the best...

Hi all, If this has been asked already I am sorry, but I did a search and didn't find anything. I have a DFI LanParty s939 motherboard which uses a A64 3000+ and 2GB of DDR memory. I bought the 2GB of RAM recently and don't feel like trading up for DDR2 at the moment, but really want a dual...

Hi all, I was having some noise issues with my old ST380817AS and thought that I would get a couple drives to give RAID 0 a try as well as getting a bit more space. The new drives are ST3200822AS and they are just as noisy. Now, my computer is pretty quiet fan-wise, so you can really...

Ok, so a friend of mine asked for me to build him the 'Ultimate Gaming Computer' and insists on the BEST top of the line equipment available... against my own advice. He gave me three conditions. He wants an ASUS motherboard [he listened to me when I gave him that advice], would like it to be...

Ok, So I read the Sticky on benchmarking utilities and am slightly overwhelmed... 3DMark01, 3DMark03, 3DMark05, 3DMark06, Aquamark 3, PCMark05, PCMark04, SiSoft Sandra 2005, Super Pi, SP2004, Prime95 ...seems a little excessive for finding out if my computer is stable and comparing it's...

I've found a solution, please see this post later in the thread: http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1029513511&postcount=9 Hey Guys, I used to have an ASUS A8N-SLI [oh, how I miss it], but when I installed a new XFX 6800GS video card it was either too much for my Enermax 350W PSU to...

Hey Guys, I am placing an order from Sundial Micro for a bunch of CoolerMaster stuff and will need to install the chipset HSF that I am buying there as well as the Zalman CNPS7700 that I already have. They don't sell Arctic Silver, but do sell "Cooler Master HTK-002 High Performance Thermal...

Ok, I've just spent some time reading over all the info I could find on these three boards [A8N-SLI, A8N-SLI Deluxe and A8N-SLI Premium]. I've also seen a lot of people on here recommending the Premium and stating that the Deluxe and standard versions get bad overclocks. I see nothing to...

I recently bought the ASUS EN6200TC PCI-E video card [$74 CDN] for my new computer as I didnt have quite enough cash to get the card that I would want and I figured this should tide me over until I do. I did some searching around and found some threads on the card, one of which made mention to...

Hi all, I have the A8N-SLI [standard] and think it is an amazing motherboard... my only problem is with the active chipset fan. Then I see the A8N=SLI Premium motherboard with its very interesting passive cooling solution. Are there any similar aftermarket passive cooling solutions that I...

I have a case in mind that has quite a few places for fans and may add more. What do you think of the following non-standard airflow pattern. Would it work or would it just cause problems? I will have a fan on my CPU and GPU as well of course. Passive cooling on the chipsets. Front...

Not sure if this would harm the PSU or be worse for internal temperatures in your case, but here goes: If you have a PSU with two fans [one intake, one exhaust] would flipping it upside down and cutting a whole in the top of your case for the internal fan be a good idea? This way outside air...

I have wanted to build a new computer for a while, but am looking at buying a house as well... so I might have to wait a while and as such this part selection may slowly change. But I thought I would make a post to see what you guys thought in case you have any criticism or suggestions. I have...

I have some old 5.25" floppies and always thought these combo drives were neat. I will also consider a straight 5.25" floppy drive if it is black and works but I would prefer a combo drive.

Since I'm trying to make a quiet PC that cools effectively, apparently Steel is better. And its cheep. :eek: :D

If you post a question in the wrong section would it not be more helpfull to have the post moved to the correct section rather than locking the thread? I looked at all of the sections and chose what I thought was the most appropriate one. Turns out I was wrong... thats fine, but now if I want...

If a website is offering a product for lets say $200 and the product is worth $2000 we can safely assume that they have messed up the advertisement. If they have online ordering and you place an order for one of them and get sent an invoice by email are they legally bound to sell you the...

I've been doing some research on this and while Panaflo seems to be very highly recommended and NMB seems to have comparible fans for a lower price, I havent seen much mention of Papst. I read an article on Silent PC Review about the Papst 8412NGL. It's a 80mm fan that only puts out 12dBa...

I've been looking at the cases over at xoxide and trying to come to a decision. Also wondering if you guys have any mods you'd like to suggest or can point me to someone who has modded one of these cases. This case looks interesting if I choose not to do many mods. [might put a blowhole in...

Well, I checked computerpro3's sig and didnt see any mention of iBest or Logisys, so I thought I would ask you all if you had heard anything bad or good about these two PSU's...

Does it exist? And are parts made by one manufacturer more likely to work well together? I was thinking that when building my new computer this might be a large factor. Do you think that if I went with a Chaintech MB/SC/VC combo or a MSI or ASUS MB/VC combo I would get better performance...

http://www.gameve.com/gve/Store/ProductDetails.aspx?sku=VC-ASUS-037 Looks like a pretty good price for a good 6800 and its in stock :)

I've decided that I may shy away from water cooling for my new PC. However, I would like my PC to run as quiet as possible though and may overclock it in the future. I plan on either getting a BFG, Leadtek or Galaxy 6800GT... so cooling the GPU is covered. Should I use the stock HS and fan...

are there any A64 motherboards that can take this ram yet?

Anyone have any thoughts on this water cooling solution... pretty cheap, the price is in CDN dollars: http://www.bigfootcomputers.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=2643&Category_Code=510.25 If I used this solution, would I need any fans in my case? Sorry, I've got...

http://www.chaintechusa.com/tw/eng/product_spec.asp?MPSNo=13&PISNo=266 I am considering it because of the nice looking onboard sound [with SPDIF out]... that way I can run it into my DAC and heaphone amp and enjoy a good sounding computer setup for music... I will also be trying to build...
