I wouldn't worry about psu dampening kits unless you really want to, mine doesn't vibrate at all, and now that I read it again I have that same exact psu :)
 
eh it's cheap, the one thing i'm worried about is the connect3d graphics card, i hate mail in rebates but it's so cheap, and i don't know about their reliability, but seeing how it's identical to the ati manufactured version i don't think there will be any problems
 
sorry for early bump but i'm buying within the hour so any input is welcome, does anyone have any suggestions or see any problems?
 
It looks like your trying to get this thing as quiet as possible.. I don't see any problems, but if you want dead silent.. who knows.. that video card could ruin that for ya.
 
Well i don't know, i'm just saying thats possible. My video card for example, when i'm not playing any games, it's very silent, I can't hear it. But the second I start a game up, the RPM just cranks up and the noise gets pretty loud.
 
ye, i don't think it's that big a deal, it'll be really quiet, and anyhow that deal on the graphics card is hard to beat, that performance for such a low price, i'm all over it. I'm about to purchase everything, hope it all works out as good as i want it too.
