I'm now not so impressed with the 900 fans, good god they're loud on anything but low.
reread my post. is the S-Flex SFF21F led?

I'm so tired of you always being cotraversial and posting a negative response to what ppl like or recommend. if only you knew as much as you think you do. a "little" fan noise doesn't bother most people and most aren't obsessed with absolute silence the way you are. you might have most these gullible kids fooled but you don't me and never did. I'm done here! congratulations, you've succeeded in running off yet another member.

*sigh*
If i had a braincell i would put together a PC Building forum and just have no mods where all us "1337" guys can chill out. Off topic would be allowed.
You girls would all be my mods.
We would advertise forum mainly by showing off our systems on youtube(or any appropriate place)

those look pretty cool. just added to my FAV's so i can have them when its time to order. is the controler something thats on the front of the tower or is it stored inside the case????
the CM RC-631 case. i think has a slot for 2 fans. should the intake be smaller than the exhaust? 80mmm for intake and 120mm for exhaust?
thought i read somewhere that its better to have more air being sucked out than supplied???

He_man, we get off-topic here all the time. You were just going over the top with it.
And why did you say "you girls"? I think it's about time to shit up now, or someone will have ddp on your ass.

everyone gets one everyones nerves from time to time thats only human. take a step back and take a break for a bit. then come back with a differnet look at the situation, there hasne been hardly any mods needed in here (well since i have started hanging out in here) and i dont think we need any. thats what we have PM's for . you got a beef with someone PM dont get nasty here in the thread.
i might not know computers like you guys do but i know people and everyone in here is a little off there rocker(including my self) thats what makes this thread fun and exciting. i dont think anyone really means any ill will towards anyone else..just some opinions are stronger than others....
please... please.....lets all just get along.

Mort: No, I appreciate that fact, but Scythe make LED versions of the S-Flex called the Kaze series, which having used both, I can say are pretty much as good.
As far as the 900 goes, the fans on medium annoy the hell out of me. You're well aware how much I like my silent PC, but they even annoy people who don't give a damn about silent PCs...
I'm sad to think that anyone would contemplate leaving the thread. We all have our differences of opinion which is fine - we're here to constructively point out things that people may have overlooked, we're not here to bitch at each other.
He_Man: Sub £700 for that build.... <sighs>

Not really, it's a sigh in your favour because you have a great PC for half what I've ended up spending on mine.
As for the commodore, that PC's probably worth around £800, but only due to the case and unnecessary power supply.

Yes we are well aware that you DON'T like fan noise or any noise coming from your PC sam. That's your opinion and yours only at this point. We can't hear your PC and don't want to. ;) If you're happy with your equipment then so-be-it.

I'll interject here for my own interest and the possible loss of a well respected friend and mentor....(Mort81 if I'm outta line, PM me and I'll remove some or all of what I'm about to write)
sammorris I think your attitude and constant opinion about some things you have little or no knowledge on is very disturbing to say the least. I know that you have a few computers and some knowledge of fans but your self proclaimed EXPERT knowledge of fans is limited to a few brands and makes. I think Russ (theonejrs) pointed out many times that other brands have good capabilities and so on. BUT you constantly project your opinion even tho he has provided scientific data to back up his claims. Heck if I remember right he even provided tests on other fans. (PLEASE be aware this isn't about frikkin fans!!!)
I myself am very limited in my experience and knowledge about computers and their components. I've admitted this before and I'm not afraid to admit that I've made a mistake which I've done more than once. lol. The last one (in here) was when Lp531 pointed out that I missed some info on a P/S and it's wiring.... ;)
sam you obviously missed some of what Mort81 was trying to say and convey OR you don't give a crap.
Originally posted by sam:

I completely agree and briefly touched on that with my own experience in here. CONSTRUCTIVELY is the operative word here!! You seem to be able to point out things but it seems you have to be combative with almost everyone especially if they disagree with you or their thoughts or experiences go against yours. lol. Sorry but that's funny to me in that it shows inexperience in dealing with humans and also shows some signs of immaturity!!
PLEASE consider this a fair representation of some of the "older" members here. I think your knowledge is impressive but you should consider how you use it and especially when you use it.
@ALL,
If I'm outta line here, lemme know. ESPECIALLY the MOD's... I can continue this in PM's or what ever is needed to resolve the situation that has arisen. It truly saddens me when someone as well liked and respected as Mort81 feels the need to leave over something that could have been avoided with some understanding and forethought.
GOOD LUCK to ALL!!!!!

That's a broad generalization. lol.
I've never shoved anything at anyone to my knowledge in here. I may have my opinions on ODD's but I have some experience with them. ;)
As far as mobo's go... I have an ASUS, Gigabyte, FoxConn, and a POS Machspeed (which is on the shelf collecting dust...the ASUS replaced it!!!!) If I was to push anything at this point it would be ASUS but unfortunately my experience with them is limited (only 2 boards) and one each of the others that I have indicated. I'll say this I like the Gigabyte mobo so far BUT we'll see how it actually does once I PUSH it a little. lol. :P

Sorry to butt in but this is where i think the conflict arises in opinion when people ask a question such as above,
"I want the badest and quitest fans avaliable"
I know Sam will say S-FLEX but others will say differently.
Can't we just all agree on what products to get for say a gpu, ram so this kind of stuff is kept to a minimum?
