RE: Quiet & Cool PC's
OK OK I'm getting all excited now. I like the look of the Antec Sonata
Piano Black Quiet Case - 380W TruePower Silent PSU (CA-003-AT)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Antec_160.html
It sounds (No pun!) just what I've been looking for and cheaper than the
ones on quietpc.com as it includes the PSU.
So what do I put in it?
I want it as a general all rounder PC. Will mainly do 1)Media - i.e.
Wavs. 2) Internet/Email 3)Word and general office stuff.
No gaming or anything like that? (May also consider building one as a
Win2k Server box?)
I'm well outa touch on this sort of thing so any recommendations on
Mobo's (One with LAN onboard + Audio maybe?), Graphics Card (One that
could take an S-Video feed IN for viewing DVD, Tivo etc?), processor,
ram?
Many thanks
Rob Mouser

Also have a look at
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Water_Cooling.html
for their water coolling kit or if you want to go the whole hog look at
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/VapoChill_Systems.html
for their
Vapochill systems.
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Enermax_111.html
are
nice and quite PSUs
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Other_Coolers_57
.html
list most of the zalman passive cooling bits and pieces.
I dont know how quiet you want to go Rob, but these are very good PSU
coolers
Coolermaster Aero 4
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Coolermaster_122
.html
I use them on my PCs in my office and unless the machine is under load
(when i
turn them up to full) the Northbridge fan is louder than the CPU fan !
