...Takes a special kind of special to get a Molex in upsidedown... ::)

I'm using a Jeantech 700w Modular PSU at the moment - it's an alright PSU, but the fan that was in it was far too loud - cold, but loud. Ripped it out and replaced it with a Noctua P12 - runs a bit warmer, but that's cancelled out by the rest of my cooling.

The funny bit is, is he is a lot like that Sol idiot here.

Yeah, those Noctua's a meant to be pretty quiet, pity they don't make LED fans, I need my PC Bling!

Well, I've got the 120mm one which is supposed to be the noisier one they sell and uh...I can't hear it. Even on full whack, it's quieter than my casefans, although it does make a highpitched noise - but that's fading in and out now, do I guess it was burning in.

Hah, that's weird, My last case was a thermaltake Soprana, (dunno what Tt case you have), I also have the same Zalman in it too.

My current rig is a GA-X48-DQ6 mobo with a Q6600 at stock, TRUE120, 4GB DDR2-1066 OCZ Reapers, 8800GT, 250GB+300GB+300GB HDDs (gotta upgrade them, running out of space) and a Pioneer DVR216 burner. All in a Gigabyte 3D Aurora Case.

Yeah, AV drives are designed to be on 24/7, like in DVRs and surveillance equipment etc. Seeing as my main PC is on 24/7 and the media PC pretty much 24/7, I don't want them dying in a hurry  :green:

Ah.

This computer is on 24/7, Folding and Torrenting when I'm not using it, and those drives have served me well - hell, I bought a second 1TB drive - the Samsung -  because I filled the first!

My media PC has 2 1TB drives and 2 750GB drives. It's in a Silverstone LC-16B-MR case. That can hold 7 drives. I'll probably end up having to replace them with 2TB drives when they become cheap enough.
