lammmetak Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 You could get the Vantec Aeroflow for 30.00 with shipping on Ebay. That's where I got mine. I could also just give you email address of the guy who sold it to me as well. The Aeroflow is much quieter than any Volcano, and it does a better job than most Volcano. The very newer ones may beat it by a margin, but will not be as near as quiet. ;) ;) :cool:oh yeah, wtf is noice? the spelling is noise, N O I S E. Go type it in Word and do a spell check to compare the two. Or you could just look in a dictionary... :whistle: iam just 16 and dutch u know:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tran Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 I'll build my own comp... in about three years. For now I'll stick to my Sony, very reliable so far. The only thing I need is to up my 32MB shared graphics card to a 128 ATi 9600 or 9700 (or 256, 9800, if I have the money). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned the problem about time to load Pics in large folders, well it doesn't happen when I lower the FSB some. strange as it is. I guess there is a bottle neck somewhere.....

mallow Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 ASUS A7V8X AMD Athlon XP 2100+ Intel P3 800Mhz. (Win 2000 Advanced Server). It's just a Dell XPS B800r And two Gateway 200Mhz systems, one as a Red Hat Linux 9 webserver, other as a Smoothwall router/firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samoa Posted May 13, 2003 Author Share Posted May 13, 2003 Currently it seems there are only about 700 people participating in the poll. Where are the other 22,000 plus members? It is clear most people use Custom PC over any other, but I was hoping for larger numbers. Or maybe most aren't as dedicated Neowinians as myself?
