About this deal

Front mounted 92mm Silent Series R2 hydraulic bearing fans, 1300 RPM speed (compatible with 80mm fans) - included Rear mounted 140mm Silent Series R2 hydraulic bearing fan, 1000 RPM speed (compatible with 120mm fans) - included The HTTP 304 Not Modified status code indicates that there is no need to retransmit the resources you request – it will redirect you to cached content instead. Fractal Design's Node 304 is in many ways a surprising jump forward in case design. We've seen SilverStone, BitFenix, Lian Li, and Cooler Master all try their hands at mITX cases with varying degrees of success, but there's just no set design language when you get down this small. The conventions we take for granted in ATX case design don't really apply here, but Fractal Design has tried for something fairly different with the Node 304, even by mITX standards.

I always try to buy well known good quality brands that use proper OEM units. The EVGA G2's are great( which I've run out of the PC to prime a water cooling system and I couldn't hear anything from it). I have a couple NZXT 550's that are near silent too. If nothing else in the PC is going to be passive I can't see you ever hearing sound from it, unless you go with a low-end brand of course. It can also solve technical problems, such as connection issues or the HTTP 304 Not Modified response codes. Those threats may interrupt or interfere with your system, including the header request. To identify and remove the threats from your system, run a malware scan.theMetal - Air cooling works well in the case. From what I've seen I'm almost positive any heat sink will fit in the case and fit is more determined by your itx motherboard than the case its self. Featuring hybrid functionality, the Node 304 case is ideally used as a cool-running file server, a stylish and quiet home theatre PC or a powerful gaming system highlighting minimalistic and stunning Scandinavian design and maximum functionality. From here on out, to be added to the list, just start your post off with " Add me" in bold and leave a picture of your Node. I will get you added as soon as possible.

The same rules apply if you take out two of the drive cages to squeeze in a 310mm graphics card. To get anywhere near a tidy build in the Node 304 a modular PSU is a must. I've read the fan gets very noisy on high RPM and, because it's temp-regulated, I'm worried what would happen in summer (when the ambient temp can reach 30*C)... Google Chrome keeps a separate DNS cache, so it is necessary to flush DNS on your computer as well.

The PSU is installed on its side and the one thing to note is that the case supports PSUs up to 160mm total depth for non-modular designs; for modular designs, you need to find units of a maximum of 140mm deep. I really liked the fact that you get three fans in the chassis out of the box. The pair of 92mm intake fans provides plenty of air flow to the CPU and the drives hanging in the modular bays. Combined with the three fan controller built into the chassis, users can define what is comfortable for their environment. With the switch set to "L" for low, there isn't any noise you can hear outside of a foot away from the chassis, and the feel of the flow to the hand is very low. What is really nice is that even when set to the "H" position, the high speed of the Silent Series R2 fans even within a foot of the chassis there is a minimal hum heard near the chassis. Outside of three feet from the chassis I could not hear it at all. There's room for CPU coolers up to 165mm tall, which allows for some quite serious third party offerings, though a liquid chiller may make more sense.
