    GhostDoll GodSlayer got a reaction from NoobCase in How do I connect Samsung KS8000 TV to my speakers?   
    Yes the Speakers have red-white cable inputs and the DAC does as well.
    I connect the DAC to my PC using the USB type B.
    If I buy an optical cable I should be able to connect the DAC directly to the TV with that.

    The three models you should pay attention to are the NF-F12, NF-S12A, and NF-A14. They will have either PWM (pwm controlled), FLX (higher speed, voltage control), or ULN (lower speed, voltage control). The NF-F12 is only available as PWM.
     
    Always go for the 140mm version if possible, as it will move the same amount of air at a lower speed. If 140mm doesn't fit, and you have unrestricted airflow, go for the NF-S12A. If 140mm doesn't fit, and it has to push through a heatsink, radiator, drive cage etc. then go for the NF-F12. The fans come with low noise adaptors, so you don't have to go for the low speed variant if you won't use a fan controller or mobo headers and want it to be silent.
     
    Newer motherboards have pretty good fan control, so I would go for the PWM version and make silent fan profiles. It's possible that you can even turn off some fans under low load.
     
    I'd recommend having the rear fan as an intake to create positive pressure, and only exhaust through the radiator at the top. Also, see if you can remove your drive cages by using 5.25" to 3.5" adaptors and place your drives in the 5.25" bays to create better and more silent airflow. I've seen many pics of people leaving empty drive cages in their computers and that just doesn't make any sense.
