I just got a morex 3688 case and M10000 motherboard 4 weeks ago so I'm still playing around with it.
As is, the morex3688's case fan is #$%^&*!! loud. About 3 times louder than my desktop with two hard drives, power supply with two fans, an extra case fan and of course the athlon XP's amd supplied cpu fan. Two days I put 50 ohm resistors inline with the cpu and case fans and it has made a huge difference. The system is now tolerable. It was just a brief test; the motherboard is getting RMA'd as it's tvout was defective. On Sun, 2004-12-12 at 17:20 +0000, Phil Thompson wrote: > Thanks for that. How noisy is the 10000?
