mine is by no means silent, but quite quiet.
have a look at www.quietpc.com

I have a :
quiet case - Antex P180
quiet psu - Enermax noisetaker
quiet heatsink fan - Zalman copper flower

All made a big difference, not cheap though
Noisiet now is the graphics card, but not so bad I want to quieten it.

Sounds like a plan!

if people dont give the info, a person asking probably gets them to fill it out more accurately than a form

As soon as they realise how friendly and helpful this place is, see that we all use the profile box usefully,  the trust is earned.

WE know we are a friendly, helpful bunch, but the person filling out the form may not.  There are a lot of paranoid people out there...(and just cos they are paranoid, doesnt mean people are not out to get them!)

if it was mandatory, people can always answer :
Drives - A Car
Location - Home
etc

Agree we often do seem to ask newbies the same questions.
Flip side is the more a website demands to know, the less likely I am to sign up.

Could you just adjust the signup page to say please add you car and location details, as it will aid us in resolving your problems

Ive been looking at replacing the wifes Rover weisel with a VW/Audi weisel because they can easily be chipped to 200bhp :o

But can they also run on petrol ?

Father in law had a diesel van, and a 2.5 petrol Cav
Lets just say there were a few opportunities to discover the cav would run on drained out diesely petrol, no problems.
Actually made it run better on one occasion!

Should work, father in law has a vectra with the same audio as the mv6 had, except a 4 disk changer, not 6.

Easy enough to swap just the head unit to prove you have functionality, then you could do the trickier bit of the changer.

Well, the Mrs picked up a hot cooked chicken from morrisons yesterday for our dinner.

Got all the veg and spuds cooking,

Start carving, and my Nice Sabatier carving knife, broke, handle came away from the fork, all forged metal, just snapped, ahh well.
At this point discover the supposedly cooked chicken is not fully cooked, still pink and bloody, AAARRGGH

Now what we do for tea, well the mrs nips out to the chippt to buy fish to go with the dinner!

We eat. Fine, but im fuming inside.

Ring up Morrisons, and ask for the manager, fob off phone answerer cant get rid of the call fast enough when I tell her its about 1/2 cooked chicken and food poisoning!
Very apologetic manager, grovells massively, and we settle on a refund and some compensation, he didnt want the press informed, and environmental health!

Dug out my Boots receipt for the knives, no mention of the 20 year guarantee on the 9 year old receipt! So in I wander today, got a young girl 1st of all, she moved me to her supervisor, who heard the story, and moved me onto his supervisor.... Who said
Ive got a set of these, doubt I could find my receipt!  Do you want that as cash or on your card!  I said do you take inflation into account, she wasnt sure if I was joking for a min, so told her i was joking, took my cash and All was well!

voted....but is this a good thing?
We could make em too popular, increasing demand and therefore cost  :-/

Might make it easier to sell when getting a newer one

As to Rover 75 would you?

Good point, well made!
