Country:  |  If the powersupply fan makes to much noise depends on how you define noisy  I can live with it!The powersupply has no SATA connector. I would deffenately go for a SATA drive, if you have the option, because of the better pricing, the better airflow with the smaller cables and the drive is a little faster. If you have SATA on your mobo, there is no reason to buy a ATA drive. Don't expect a perfect case. It's cheap and the materials used are also. It's a good budget choise. So is the videocard you chose by the way. I bought a Ati 9250 in the first place, but had problems with verticalsync while watching TV and movies (image 'deformed' a bit). So I got a ASUS N6200 yesterday and these problems are solved! It's a very good card for the 60 euros it costs (10 euro more then the 9250). The Ati card was not fast enough... offtopic: I've seen your nick somewhere before ... Are you a http://gathering.tweakers.net member?
