They are used to replace the two front feet, thus angling the front up slightly.

Just dont like the fact that the 75 is noisier than the 61 that I had - That was pretty damn loud!

[neil@DOMINO.ORG]

The noise levels are still very good. Replace the main CPU fan with a quiet one and you won't know its on. The PSU fan is very quiet and the NB fan I can't hear at all. The fan on my GFX card is noisy also and I'm going to have to replace that as its driving
me nucking futs.

I picked mine up today and am typing on it now

It is noticably louder than my 61, i have used the same panaflow cpu fan on both systems.

The psu fan is louder and my gfx fan is louder due to the mesh sides. Tbh its pretty much unbearable for me so i will sort it soon as and share experiences.

The system itself doesnt feel much quicker than my 61 as expected but the build quality is slighly better, wires ready routed and clipped up and a nice sata power header already on the psu line. The psu itself is slightly longer.

I have allready stealthed the cd tray and the black matches the rest of my kit nicley

Ill put some photos up tommorow.

[neil@DOMINO.ORG]

i'd be interested in how you've stealthed it.

Bit of improvisation

I unscrewed the trim off the original cover with the allen headed screws and replaced it with a flat peice of alliuminium i cut at work to size. I fixed it to the new bit using the samne allen screws in new holes drilled in the correct place. I had to grind the length of the screws down so they diddnt poke thru too far.

I then used neoprene double sided tape from work and just stuck it too the cd tray

The tape is very strong and flexes just enough to let you tap the plate pressing the button to open it.

I got a new camera last week so iv done a movie! Quicktime needed

Got the same problem with my gfx card at the moment as well!


Out of interest which panaflow did you use and does it still automatically alter itself (im guessing this is done by the BIOS)

No as it doesnt have a speed monitoring wire on it I dont think it does use fan gaurdian. Its quiet enough as normal speed tho.

The 220w psu fan is the loudest thing in there i think.

[neil@DOMINO.ORG]

Any of you guys using sata raid? Can't get XP to boot with this at all.

Neil.

Im not but youll need the SATA raid drivers on a floppy so that you can hit F6 when the setup is starting. (you can get them off the shuttle website - us.shuttle.com)


Oh and theres a BIOS update on there as well.

yeah I figured it out. The DVD player needs to be on cable select
for this to work.

Got the new bios update, you can now clock the motherboard higher.
