Hey fellas,
I'm after a modular PSU that's very quiet, and very tidy.
You see, in a bid to silence my system, I've replaced the 120mm fans, mounted the HDD on bungee cord, passively cooled the GPU and 7volted the cpu fan. I also took the PSU apart
cleaned it up, oiled the fans (was going to replace the 80mm fan but ordered the wrong width 
) Unfortuntately, the common for the fans was connected to something, but I've no idea what. So I've had to connect it to the neg lead joining two PCBs by soldering a bit of wire, insulating it with a bit of leccy tape.
It's a Hiper 550w anyway, so with my added 'modification' I'd like to get something more trustworthy (and quiet!) in there
Also, the blue LEDS now stay on when you turn the system off until you flick the rocker switch, odd!
System specs are:
ASUS A8R32 MVP Deluxe
AMD X2 3800+
ATI X1800
2gb G.Skill RAM
1 x SATA HDD
1 x DVD-RW
1 x Wi-Fi LAN PCI card
Will this suffice : OCZ ModXStream Pro 400w
Other suggestions appreciated!
