[QUOTE="Maedhros, post: 69928, member: 17242"] Do NOT buy the Seagate 7200.10 if you are planning on a silent PC. Unless you have 2 spare 5.25" for suspension. They vibrate like no other disk. Personally I have only seagate disks but they are all 7200.9 or 7200.8 (which are much less noisy). Have a look at this link: [url]http://www.silentpcreview.com/article611-page2.html[/url] ...and this especially: [url]http://www.silentpcreview.com/article29-page2.html[/url] My friend bought two 7200.10s and they were too noisy and he changed them into 2 samsungs. But I would probably go with either a 7200.9 (if you want nothing but Seagate) or a WD in the KS series (not the YR series). WD and Samsung also have AAM, but Seagate does not :x If the 7600GS gets as hot as mine (passive cooled) you need a good air-flow! Other than this it looks fine to me :D [/QUOTE]
