I'm glad you asked. I just bought from http://www.endpcnoise.com/ a 300W power supply and a case fan. They are awesome. Look for "Ultra Quiet Power Supply 300W". You can hear it only when you are very close to the fan. I can strongly recommend it! florin -- "If it's not broken, let's fix it till it is." 41A9 2BDE 8E11 F1C5 87A6 03EE 34B3 E075 3B90 DFE4 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
