Silent PC Components

Does anyone know where I can find...

1. Corsair's new power supply
2. Nexus 120mm case fans
3. Zalman CPU fans?
4. Antec P180B Case

I was in Wan Chai Computer Center yesterday, but the selection there is poor..

thanks in advance =)

Did you try 298? They definately have a better range of shops for components ... Wanchai Comp center seems to have gone fairly upmarket and the focus is not on the DIY person.

think shops in Golden might have those too?

Not really found good cases while I was wandering around on Sunday. Looking for something rock solid.. something that if it falls on a leg, it will crush it.

Everything seems to be flimsy plastic crap.

yeah...it's really hard to find a good case here. the local brands like 2themax, GTR, icute, etc...all have crappy cases.

antec/coolermaster/lian-li cases do exist though -

www.hornington.com is a hk-based company that sells these brands. too bad they are a bit on the expensive side (relatively speaking, anyway, since buying an antec case in US is about 80-90 usd). thinking about getting my P180B from there if i can't find any alternatives.

I totally agree, the quality of stuff in these computer centers has decrease a lot over the past 9 months. It does not look like it will work for much longer past the 12 months of warranty.
