No, I just want something -- possibly several somethings -- anodized black.

It would probably be a bad idea to anodize your penis. Just thought you might like to know.

Those are some manly heatsinks! Curious as to what type of topology you are using for this amp... I have a ton of these devices and no set design yet. If you still have a referral to onlinemetals I could definitely use one for an upcoming copper sheet purchase.

does anyone here perhaps know anyone big into the computer modding scene? I'm specifically looking for a recommendation for a 120mm fan that is dead quiet.. I plan on running it as slow as possible as well. Currently, I'm looking at the Enermax Enlobal "magnetic-barometric" fans...

Might want to check out the fans from Scythe (S-Flex), Noctua and Nexus. Here's a good 120mm quiet fan round-up:

Most 23 cfm (and 120 mm) fans are completely silent unless you're right next to the fan.

Don't buy 250cfm Deltas. That's what I used on my main machine for years (on a controller, of course).

If I use these in this particular application, that I cannot mention due to being ostracized from DIY all together, I'd take the Nelson Pass approach, which is run them so slow they won't even start at the running voltage. In order to start them, I'll provide a small boost at start-up time and then decrease the voltage until they are slow. In this case, deepak may be right and all fans will perform about the same..

Well you have plenty of fans on this site, but unfortunately most of us blow hot air.
