    Go buy a copy, Trust me you'll like it.
    F.E.A.R. plays out like a horror film once you really start playing it.
    It's by far the scariest game I have ever played.

    Hey if i were you i'd get a vista xp theme for windows. I just put it on my pc's and it looks great. After using xp for about 5 years (or whenever it came out) the same blue/green theme gets kinda boring. Just an idea...

    On one VERY sad note when i have all the fans running at "High" its still quieter than my old computer running idle.

    That and my old computers idle temperature was anywhere from 100-115 (Usually around 102 though)

    Holy hell. My 900 is sitting beside me now, and I know how ridiculously loud that is.

    Yeah I remember when I had to do that. Suppose I may still have to do transfers of sorts when I sort out how my drives will go in my server...

    Abuzar: You think I like it like this? I don't have any room to work. Unfortunately with nowhere to put the main hard disk for my PC other than atop that toolbox, I can't sit my server beside it, and thus the mess you see is created.
    Pacman: I'm afraid my 900 isn't exactly a top end PC, my gaming machine is on the left. Nonetheless I think it's imposing, almost 'industrial' style appearance makes a good fileserver.

    Which case are you talking about? The antec 900? Well its a godsend from what im used to and the fact that its actually colder than my room says something about even the stock fans.

    But i ask once again does anyone have any clue what this is and how to get rid of it?

    7 volts? Does that mean they spin faster :( Im confused again..

    HOW DO YOU GET RID OF THE DAMN SPECS-LOGO THING?!

    Why does the computer by default measure the temp. in Celsius?

    andmill11, did you put green cathodes in a blue fan system? Looks nice!

    BTW the volts thing, I think he is just saying he is using LESS volts than a normal fan.
