    I really like shuttles, I just wish that they would use a mobo that supports more than 2GB ram.

    I wantz!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have the NH-U12P CPU cooler...not the prettiest of things with the cack-brown fan...but a great cooler :D
    For case fans I'm using...erm...really can't remember, but certainly not the ones supplied with the case...
    ..and an axellero aero 9800 GPU cooler. I can't say my pc is silent, but it is very quiet under full overclocked load...which is most of the time :)

    I had a full compliment of Yate Loon's in the case a while ago, they were about as far from quiet as you could get, but I like the Noc's better.

    They're good fans for the price, I'm sure I had some of them a few years ago.

    That said, there's more to cooling than putting fans in the case. Tidy cabling is a must too.

    Better late than never - and I am not an expert (as you can see by the untidy SATA cables)

    Delay caused by me seeing how much dust there was :(
    Now fixed using my new compressor :)
    But I forgot to tie down the GPU fans..so that's now borked :( gonna try stock cooler later, see if it's the fans or the actual card/controller..if controller than I guess I'll have to get a separate controller for it :(
