All the shuttle's I've ever looked at (granted, not many) came with SFF Mobos and Power Supplies (and fans?).

this on the other hand is/was a popular SFF case that requires a separate mobo and psu.

Barebones = shove proc, ram, gpu (and other junk) in, and boot.

I hate to go off topic but let me ask 1 questions since you guys seem to know a lot about PC >.>

Er.. hey, ATM I have two of my Gforce 7900 GT SLi-ed, but it is making "hummmmmm" sound from stupid fans. Should I downgrade it or something? How do I make it go away lol.

graphics cards will be loud, especially stock fanned ones. I'm not sure about actual decibel levels, but there are aftermarket fans you can stick on (voiding your warranty, so make sure you know what you are doing). You could also lower the speed of the fans using some software (can't think of it off the top of my head... google fan comtroller or something), but then you run the risk of overheating (BAD!!!!).

Honestly, either move the computer futher away from you, or even go as far as to add some sound dampening pad to the sides of your case.

Man, I'm rambling a lot today.

Watercooling is NOT silent X-x, I don't know why people always say that.

One main part: PUMP. Pumps are electric motors, meaning moving parts, meaning NOISE... NOT silent.

And suggesting watercooling is not a good idea, as it isn't 'safe' for people to do if they don't know exactly what they are doing. Judging by the fact he is asking about quieting down a fan, I can assume he would be better off dealing with the noise than screwing his computer with a leaky watercooling.

And I would really like to know where that thing about noisy pumps is coming from... Maybe people should stop buying the cheapest crap they can find? I don't want to start another discussion about the ethics of cooling here, but I'd like to state that a decent pump, mounted correctly, is next to noiseless (Of course it will not be absolutely noiseless. Show me one cooling system for a modern PC that is and that a normal person can pay). I know that because I have built several water cooling systems. With none of them was I able to hear the pump in a normal noise level environment (no, I am not hard of hearing).

Just giving this old thread a bump

Two of my XPS laptop's gaming lights failed, so I had Dell Tech support come out and replace them under warranty, along with the palm rest (my palms wore thru the magnesium finish), the black display cover (put some nicks in it due to carelessness), and upgraded the T2500 Core Duo CPU to a T7600 Core2 Duo (got it at an insane price). The blue painter's tape got replaced with clear contact paper... looks much nicer now

Before:

After:

Not installing Vista yet... still too flakey for some games. I'm waiting for SP1.

Got it about a month ago, and runs beautifully

But as many have said, Vista does have problems with some games. It's kind of annoying. Otherwise Vista is great.

the only thing still the same there is the motherboard, power supply, and the case. My next upgrade will be a new motherboard which will require me to leave my poor 7 year old 1337 case behind

I will miss the suck look to it but the wonderful working guts. The best part will be the new power supply i have sitting next to me, a gold plated 680W ;D
