I'm running an e6600 C2D in my silverstone case with an arctic cooler pro 7 (not overclocked mind). Temps at idle seem to hover around 24-28 deg C As its a bit smaller than your Zalman AND from what I've read, no less efficient, maybe this could cure your heating woes. You really need the...

OK....Its definately you read write lazer thats had it then. To be honest, once thats gone, thats it. If you had a high end piece of audio/video equipment, I'd say get it repaired. As its only a burner on your PC. I'd say bite the bullet and get a new one (I wouldn't want to part with...

No cleaning the lens won't work. Does the player actually spin up a disk? Does it play a disk? Have a go at that first. Just one other thing. You haven't mentioned wether you've tried burning to a different disk. Maybe its the disk thats cream crackered. As before, Good luck

I've just bought myself a shiny new Kama meter fan controller. I wondered if anyone can tell me; Where I attach the temp sensors? Do the fan control leads go in between the fan power supply and the fan? What happens on the Volume control display if I dont want to put in the rear sound...

THANKS YOU 2!! Very useful advice. I'll have a look at a fan reducer to buy as the homemade option might be a bit too diffecult for a 'DIY Disaster' area like me! Anyhoo, a mate has just told me that "If you think thats noisy, you should here mine!!" Once again, thanks...

OOPS!!! Looks like its had it. As the previous guy said, try a standard cd burn. Might work. Probably won't. If you're changing your system anyway, just get a new one when you can. As for burning stuff now, ask a mate to lend you a dvd burner/player. you dont even need to put it in your case...

MY, THAT WAS QUICK! Thanks for that. Doesn't look easy though. Especially since my grade 2 metalwork skills are a little rusty (please forgive me for that, I couldn't resist). I can get someone to make the shroud, but , what sort of fan did you use? Looks like a 'stock' case fan. If it is...

Hello all, I would like to know if its possible to exchange the fan on an Arctic Freezer Pro 7. Although it runs fine, it's a little noisy and dare I say it, dull! What I would like to do is fit a 120mm fan to it. Is it worth it? Is it possible?? Would love to here...

Great paint job!! Gonna do something similar myself shortly, just a slightly different colour and pattern. Its nice to see that camo works on a large oblong box. Has given me the guts to get the damn thing started!!! 8/10

Good tip, thanks! I might have a go at that. I've been away for a few days and have just got back so it was nice to come home to a useful e-mail!!! I've also had a reply from silverstone as to getting some new blanks and although they don't have any in stock right now(?) they will keep me...

Thanks for info. Now I look at it maybe the ali finish is right. Tell you what, I'll be kind and give you 10 out of 10! Good work old bean!!!

BLOODY CLEVER!! Beats the traditional rectangular box hands down. Like to see if you get it back on the car though :) 10/10

Ooh! Nice!! Most impressed. Given it a 9. As someone else mentioned, needs a lick o' paint on the inside just to set it off. Would've got you a 10 that would!! Noob question; What do the 3 fans on the top do? Look smart but a mystery to me (as I said, I'm a noob at this moddin' malarkey).

Thanks for that. Had a look but still no sign of the blanks on there. I've e-mailed them to ask where I can get those 'Scarlet Pimpernels' so maybe that'll get me sorted. Very much obliged to you kind sir!!

Thanks for such quick responses. Amazed at how fast anything came back! The 'bezels' I am looking for are the original blanks as I want to paint the case so colour not a problem but they look pretty specific to me. Directron.com had some for a different make of case but I think it would be a...
