Intent:
I want to get rounded ide cables, and get decent front and back fans for my case. I live in FL, and it gets pretty toasty in my computer lair.
My System: (slightly overclocked to 139 FSB)
Epox 8hka+ (DDR)
AMD xp 1600+
Geforce4 Ti4200
3 hard drives
1 CD
Enlight 7237 case with the 300/w power supply
Questions:
I notice most of the case fans come with both the 3 pin connects, and the 12 volt power supply connectors. Can I use either or, ie - are they both the same, just different connector types? I'm worried my power supply doesn't offer the amount of connectors I'll need.
Does anyone know if the front and back fan intakes on my Enlight 7237 are the 80x80mm ones? I think they are, but don't know for sure. Enlight doesn't even list the specs for this case anymore.
Also, does anyone have the scoop on the "enhanced round IDE cables" that supposedly increase performance due to superior shielding? Is that true, or just a con?
Proposed Solution:
I plan to these parts from newegg.com. Here they are:
- (2) SUNON 80x80x25mm, Ballbearing, Case Fan, DC 12V, 2.1W, 2900 RPM, 39.0 CFM
-(1) 18" Round Floppy cable
-(2) 18" Round IDE Cable (Vantec). (Would I need a 24" to reach the top drives??)
Total w/shipping $ 48.81
Any suggestions/help is deeply appreciated
