    Silverstone FT01 with 2x 1TB Caviar Black

    I think I'm at the point where I've quieted all the other components in my system to their lowest levels. Blue speed reducer on Noctua, Black speed reducer (from noctua) on the 120mm exhaust fan (drops speeds by 200rpm). I can actually hear the the 2 drives starting up (After the 260 ramps down...

    Silverstone FT01 Owners (the few of you out there)

    Anyone else reporting fan speeds a little off spec I have one at 692 (close enough to 700rpm), the other at 552, and the 120mm @ 1121rpm (rated at 900rpm). Is this normal? I'm using a UD3P with all of them connected onto the board fan connectors

    Best bang for the buck combo for future proofing

    With TD's 10% CB I've been considering the Q6600 + 285 or Q9550 + 260 @ 540 and 560, respectively before CB. I'm not interested in setting any OC records, just trying to remove the cpu as the limiting component, which seems to be @ 3.6-3.8. Normally I'd go with the recommended Q6600 but it seems...

    Quiet 600W+ Modular PSUs

    Originally I was set on the 750W corsair, but in the interest of trying to keep the inside a bit neater I'm on the hunt for a non-SS based modular PSU that is decently quiet. Ideas, recommendations?

    Quiet case for quadcore/i7 build w/ GTX 280

    I'm not looking to set any low temp records, but trying to keep my components from frying and at the same time not sound like a vacuum cleaner. So far I've heard good (and some bad) about the P182 (lowest 129 @MC), and recently looked at the Lian Li A71 (around 240-260shipped). I have no...

    Rebate question Corsair 750W

    I was thinking about picking up a corsair 750W @MC like my bro, but reading the rebate info it says, per person/product/household. Provided he bought his during the last 08 promotion, does that mean I can still qualify for the same rebate for the 09 promotion? (same $50 visa debit card)?

    FW400 worth it for 2.5" External drive?

    I've been scouring the internet for any reviews of external drives with FW400, but most of these are for the 3.5" drives and occasionally it's even reported that FW is slower than USB. Anyone have experience with either an external drive with FW400 at the 2.5" size or experience with an...

    Best 1TB External?

    I've looked at the MyBook Home and Studio edition externals and have read mixed reviews about both, with a few DOA issues according to newegg.com reviews. I'm planning to use 1394a or esata (would need adapter for laptop) so if you guys have any other recommendations it must have at least...

    Good USB Wireless Adapters (G)

    HDTV's w/ 1080p/tuners 42" or less with good standard quality

    Other than olevia's 742i, which as far as i can tell doesn't sell here, in addition with the extreme weight (i've seen a few sites with the 747i), what hdtv's 42" and less can upscale standard definition well?
