    Hi, Guys

    I'm about to costumize an I9300 with these specs:

    P-M 2.0
    1G RAM (2*512)
    Geforce 6800
    80GB 7200RPM Harddisk

    The specs and prices are graet.
    The only problem I now have is that I don't know how much noise and heat will monster produce.

    Somebody has an I9300 with similar specs, please help me.

    Thanks! :dell: :dell: :dell:

    I have 2 gigs and only a 1.6 PM, but you shouldn't have to worry about noise at all. The 7200rpm is silent... I've had mine since early june and I cannot remember ever hearing it. The videocard will heat things up a bit, but that's what the fans are for :) The fans Dell gives you are more than sufficient, so don't worry about heat either. In fact, just remember not to keep a cd in the cd tray when you don't need it... it causes noise (as the tray continuously trys to read it), uses power, causes the fans to stay on, etc.
