my attempt at a quiet PC...

["Stephen Adler" <user=65@nabble.blu.org>]

 Well, the hardware was delivered, assembled and powered on... and my new 
PC is more noisy than my old one... :( 

oh well... I went the full Zalman route, (yup payed $350 for the freeken 
case... quite a beaut I must say.) But I didn't go the fanless route. I 
got the Zalman big heat sinks for the CPU and video card. The fans which 
drive the air flow through the case seem to be the big noise makers. The 
fancy LED ones. Anyway, I'll work on the watercooled solution later. But 
I must say, the system is blazingly fast. (I packed it with 8gigs of 
800MHz  memory and I cant  wait to fire up  my VMWare application.) 

I guess what I'm trying to pass on is that putting together a quite PC 
is not easy.... 

Cheers. Steve.
