No, no, and no. I just went to their site to check the specs
and noticed that they have a new model, the Silencer 400 ATX.
Last time I ordered 275 watts was as good as it got. <smile>

Yes, that's what I mean. When I play music CD's the drive noise
is irritating. I find that older slower drives are much quieter.
I've been working on plans for a sound-proof case-cover which
I think would be a big hit with anyone running their computer
in a bedroom, a small office, or in a multimedia setting. When
I'm meditating all those motor noises really start to bother me.
