RE: Quietening server

["Rob Mouser" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Robin

Take a gander at www.quietpc.com or www.overclockers.co.uk (The latter can
be cheaper)>
I would recommend a Zalman Flower CPU Cooler they are truly quiet (It is
large so check your case dimensions) and add a silent or near silent PSU as
well and I think you would be amazed at how quiet you can get your PC.
My node Zero is in my office and is near silent, in fact the Sky+ and Tivo
boxes make more noise than the two PC's in there.=20
My main server is actually away from Node 0 in my understairs cupboard and
is in a Antec Sonata case, Zalman Flower, Northbridge fanless mb cooler and
would come within your budget. It cant be heard outside of the understairs
cupboard.

Many thanks,
