I don't find the GTX 480 noise at all, at least not compared to the huge 4 fans that the case has..

The larger the fan, the lower the RPM, the quieter it should be :[

What do you guys think of this full tower case?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103010
2x 250mm fans, 19.99 shipping
Combo deal it with 2x2gb 1600mhz Ripjaws and it's $15 off.
(Combo deal: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.440584)

Or

Lian-li K58W combo'd with the same ripjaws and $35 off.

Considering how much the shipping is on those cases, you don't seem to be saving very much money at all. Is there a particular reason you're considering a full tower?

well besides there some bloat like a tv tuner hdmi cables, 850w psu etc

There is alot of bloat in there for parts that aren't necessarily bad but don't necessarily belong together.

That case definitely does not offer the ability to Crossfire/SLI

R04R, I would go with the Lian Li. They are known for very good build quality and good toolless designs that will make building so much easier.

There's no preference for me between full tower and mid tower. The full tower looks like a good deal considering its MSRP and huge cooling fans. I already have a low budget setup on newegg atm and I'm just looking to cut corners now.

Yeah, I built almost this same system but with better ram, a better mobo, a better case, better PSU (corsair!) and no bloat for just over $1000 canadian, which is just under a thousand US.

I'll second the LianLi if you want to stick with those combos.

You could also get a cm 692 basic and ram for the same price even without a combo, considering shipping on cm 692 is free.

CM 690 II vs Lian Li K58W becomes a much harder choice :<

I picked the CM 690 II, it ends up being cheaper.

What's the difference between these 2? Heatspreaders? The more expensive one having better ones, or negligible?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007611 600006066 600006050 600006127 600000261&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&CompareItemList=147|20-231-193^20-231-193-TS,20-231-277^20-231-277-TS

If there's no difference, I'll take the one with the $10 off promo code.

I'm pretty sure they are the exact same modules with different heatspreaders.

Pick the cheaper one. Most RAM doesn't even get hot enough to warrant heatspreaders, and I've heard that some RAM actually runs warmer with heatspreaders than without.

I just built a computer with an antec 300 and the case fans won't spin

the LED lights are on and it looks like it's plugged in correctly. They're directly connected to the PSU

yet they don't spin -.-

am I doing something wrong?

So you connected the 4 pin Molex connectors from the fans to the PSU?

hm that sounds very odd. Are you sure all 4 of the connections are in and that it is tight? Molex is a bitch sometimes. Do you have a Molex to fan header extension that you can use to see if it's a problem with the fan?

So I spent 5 hours putting my computer together... I did something wrong, because while the computer turns on and all of the fans spin, the monitor acts like nothing is happening.

I've googled many different things, but is there a site I can go to that has detail on the wiring?


I have a DVD drive as well as a DVD+RW drive hooked up with those floppy ribbon cables, connected to the mobo. The DVD+RW drive works, but the DVD drive isn't responding.

I hooked the two case fans up to the power supply as opposed to the SYSFAN1/2 spots on the mobo, and they're working fine.

The heatsink/fan seems to be working fine.

The graphics card lights are on, but like I said, something has to be wrong because I hooked the monitor up and nothing happened when I powered the computer on.



I'm done working on it for the day. Ugh I was really looking forward to jumping back into the beta, with playable performance.

Try booting up with just 1 stick of RAM in the A1 position of your mobo (wherever that may be)

If you have an ASUS mobo and have the memOK! feature, try that. Memory instability can cause an inability to boot.

There should be an 8 pin connector somewhere near your cpu. Did you plug that in?
