SSD's are out of the question, the Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB is available at Scan, 500GB etc sold out. Not sure if any point buying a 1TB just to short stroke it, kind of a waste of money, it's probably available online cheaper too. Could always get 2 Samsungs, the 500GB and 1TB, short stroke...

Yeah that sounds a good plan. Well i've been meaning to get a zalman hd501 case for months now but not had the money, once get that see if the noise improves at all as the cases have tool free hard drive bays. hopefully won't vibrate as much on the casing then. ASUS M4A785G HTPC/RC...

well my drive is apparently the "quietest" at 36.07 but mines really noisy, dont know if the majority or these drives are faulty but a lot of people have problems with noise and my seagate. It's constantly making a loud click and then rattle. It's made me wonder if it's really worth swapping...

Hi, I have a 1TB seagate barracuda 7200.12, this is my second seagate hard drive, the first barracuda was really noisy, i was hoping the new 7200.12 versions would improve but they haven't. They seem to make a rattling/rumbling noise even when not doing anything. Searched on the internet and...

Well i have a Corsair 450HX modular power supply which is 1-2 months old like the rest of my system. my motherboard is 2 months old hard drive 2 months old cpu 2 months old psu 2 months old. All the parts on my computer apart from ram are 2 months old at most and the ram isnt exactly old. I...

found out what was causing the problem. It was a usb webcam thats attached to my computer, haven't used it in ages but that's what was causing the red mist and freezing, can understand the freezing but surprised it affected the graphics on boot up. ASUS M4A785G HTPC/RC MOTHERBOARD AMD PHENOM...

well i tried connecting it via vga to my old 15" monitor and the same thing happens so not the monitor. occassionally i'll get a message like book disk failure or something like that, could it be the hard drive not spinning properly till it's warmed up? thats only 2 months old aswell though...

Hi, I'm having a problem that when i first turn my computer on e.g in the morning, when it gets to the starting windows message, it has a red mist around the text and freezes. It does it for about 3-4 times of restarting and about the 5th time of restarting it will boot fine and once it's...

Well after 3 clean installs of windows 7, i found out what was causing the unidentified network error eventually. It wasn't the drivers.... it was.... adobe cs3 master collection, very strange! no idea why thats affecting the connection but it did, so left that uninstalled now and its working...

Yeah might be better doing that, taking them out. Well got my Zalman cpu cooler installed now and it's really quiet. Well i don't have the case yet, should do soon so will let you know what i end up doing regarding fans. Got an annoying problem of unidentified network everytime i boot my pc...

well its vertical at the moment but waiting for my zalman hd501 case to arrive which is horizontal. So wont find out till get that how quiet will be but just installed the 450hx in my current case and its very very quiet. Just need my new cpu cooler which will arrive today hopefully and be even...

Well my psu at the moment is some rubbish like ezcool 550w super silent, most the power connecters for old ide drives, molex? well the wires are loose and coming out. Well suppose it aint rubbish, its lasted me 5 years and still working now. Ordered a new zalman ultrs quiet cpu cooler other...

Well i'm not big on psu's it's the only part of my computer thats never been replaced, had the same power supply for 5 years now. Well my motherboard doesn't even support floppy disk anymore, no connection for it so wont be needing them haha. Only connecters i'd need is the 2 motherboard...

well both are similarly priced around 60 pound. Looked up modular psu and some people say they are the way to go as tidier and others say stick to hard wired if not got much room in your case. Modular's look a bit confusing with all the different wires you can connect and disconnect etc...

Hi, Was going to get the Corsair 450VX but then come across a page on the internet that said the 450HX is a better PSU. Can anybody help me on the advantages/disadvantages or each power supply please? Thanks. ASUS M4A785G HTPC/RC MOTHERBOARD AMD PHENOM X4 II 955 BE 3.2GHZ 8GB DDR2 800MHZ...

Yeah think i'll go for the Zalman to be honest, looks good and will blend in. The HD503 dont see the point in paying extra £60 for a lcd when ive got a remote for my mobo. just get the HD501 for cheaper. Asus P5K Motherboard Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0GHz 4GB DDR2 667 MHz 320GB Sata Hard Drive...

Thanks for the input, yes the zalman does look better, for a htpc the thermaltake might look a bit cheap and the zalman has hot swapable hard drives etc... thanks Asus P5K Motherboard Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0GHz 4GB DDR2 667 MHz 320GB Sata Hard Drive Nvidia 8500GT Super 512MB

Hello, I'm building a HTPC, my motherboard already has a remote so not bothered about the lcd etc.. I'm going to get either the Zalman HD501: http://www.hbecommerce.co.uk/templates1/view_product.php?department=1822&product=21663&site=5 Or Thermaltake VB8000BNS...

i've tried it in the past without the battery, just the ac adapter and its been the same im pretty sure. i know one or two of the pins on the cpu have been bent before and straightened again, maybe that could of damaged it too. the cpu does work as it boots eventually, so not sure if could be...
