Hey how's it going everyone. I'm planning to build a new rig in June once I find out Intel's price drops.
I want a semi SFF... so I've chosen a Lian Li V300... I just like the styling of Lian Li... sleek and simple
I'm probably going to go with a E6400 or E6600 depending on price in June.
Need some advice on a quiet PSU though.
I'm thinking of Antec Neo 430 cause its modular and relatively quiet but reviews say Nexus has a good quiet PSU.
I'll probably put a 8800 GTS too so I need some power... though I only play Battlefield 2 and my 7800gt is sufficient
also I have the WD Raptor 160 gb (the dell rebranded one... i'm sure some of you guys ordered it and had to wait like a month for it about a year ago)
Gonna buy a sata dvd rw
Since it's cramped space, i'm choosing intel since they run at lower watts... not gonna overclock. Only air cool
Any suggestions on making the my rig quieter...??? AnyaAftermarket GPU and CPU coolers that are small that is better than stock. Was thinking Blue OrbII. I have a scythe katana now but i don't think it will fit well in the new case.
The case doesn't support 120 mm fans nor do i want to mod much. Just gonna use a dremel to cut part of the case to fit a video card longer than 8 inches.
Also does any one know if Lian Li is gonna release a revised sff case... its been over a year since the v300 and i'd rather not cut it up if another is coming soon.
Appreciate any help you can give me... my last rig is decent but noisy and somewhat bulky...
