My hard drive noise is driving me NUTS!

I had two WD hard drives that whined like crazy, drove me insane. I just bought 2 Seagate Barracuda IV's to replace them, and they are silent. The only way I know they are seeking is by the HDD indicator light.

Panaflo FBA08A12H fan @ MPJA for $2.95

I have the H1As as my exhaust fans (back and blowhole) connected to a Sunbeam rheobus, and they tick at lower voltages. It is quite apparent when they are the loudest things in your case.

Newish Antec True430 smells and sounds funny

The smell is normal, the noise most likely isn't. I would RMA it asap. I had the smell for the first week and a half after installing it, but it went away shortly thereafter.

YMMV - ATI Atlantis Radeon 9500 128MB Video Card w/TV-Out & DVI by SapphireTech -- 162.99 @ GoogleGear

Got mine from allstarshop yesterday and tried the softmod today. Scores went up 2000 in 3DMark2001SE, but checkerboards all over the place. Fill rates are up to 2100, but again, checkerboards. Trying to find a fix, otherwise I will just overclock it :(

Fan Controller

Sunbeam. I have 2 fans hooked up to a single channel, but the LEDs are too bright. But as a rheobus, it's great.
