[Abit AT7 Thread] {Abit AT7: the one with mad specs...}

i dont really like integrated stuff (if the NIC is going to go bad, or the sound, i would much rather it be a pci card that i can pull out and throw away) I like Abit (I own KR7A-RAID), but I have to agree, I don't care for the integrated stuff either. I'd like to choose my own NIC or sound...

Case fans and power supply - connectors?

I am building my first computer and I was told to connect my case fans to the PSU and not to the motherboard. Too much draw on the motherboard? In following that advice, I am not sure what connetors to order. I am about to purchase an Enermax EG365P-VE FCA or an Enermax EG465P-VE FCA PSU and...

What's the best Windows OS for gaming?

Thanks for the input. I am running Win2K right now, and I am still surprised to this day how stable it is. I had tried ME for a few weeks and really know where the term "memory-eater" comes from. It was total junk. Way too many frustrating crashes. Prior to that I ran NT 4.0, and was not...

Enermax Power Supplies - FMA or FCA?

What's the preferred choice as far as Enermax Power Supplies are concerned - FMA (Fan Monitored by motherboard) or FCA (Fan Controlled by motherboard)? I am thinking of going with the EG465-VE model. Any thoughts on that particular model? Thanks, -earle.

Lian-Li PC-30

Is that the preferred way to hook up case fans, to the power supply, rather than the motherboard? Do you have the two 80mm fans daisy-chained together and than connected to the psu? Or do you have each one going to a seperate molex connection on the psu? Thanks, -earle.

Case fans? Any recommendations?

Another thing to add is, out of the Panaflo's the U1A seems to beat out the L1A in CFMs: 24.0 vs. 46.9 however, the dB-A is 21.0 vs. 38.2. Panaflo FBA08A (80mm) Spec PDF I like the specs on the FBA08A12UU1A.

I have now narrowed it down. Now it seems to be between Panaflo PCM-FBA08A12U and the Vantec Stealth. Perhaps I'll test out both.
