Dude if you know so much about it why dun you make a solaris x86/64 box with raid z based on a atom 330 board with wake from lan, with raid-z you'd have a ton...
. How long until we have relatively inexpensive RAM drives - say 250GB? That's quiet. It's possible now to buy 64GB and plug in a bigger disk only when you...
I am too sick, old and tired Terramir. I hardly have the energy to use the damn things these days. :-( I have enough bits to build two, maybe three, computers...
do you mean SSD? or real ram drives, SSD solid state is not ram it's flash. BTW SSD are available in 256 GB and even 512GB capacity they just cost an arm and...
Semi OT: Intending to add another fan for hard disks, (temps range from 32 to 38), I find this info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive “”” A...
It is difficult to assess whether the google study has broad validity because there are no other studies of that scale. Your HDD temperatures are perfectly...
I agree completely. In my experience, power fluctuations (such as brownouts) eat components far, far more often than temps. Better to spend the money on a...
. Oops, yes, SSD. Thanks. Affordable big SSD drives. Doesn't matter all that much if a moving drive itself is very quiet, does it, so long as there's a noisy...
Thank you for your response. I do respect your perspective. I have visited silentpcreview many times to learn lots of good stuff. The google study indicates...
Well yes this actually was availible 10 years ago it was called a mac cube LOL. They had a space for a fan, however the models that came out (it really...
these days if you pick the right fan like a 120 mm fan @ like 6V it's barely audible @ 1m. I have had failures due to failure to cool hard disk drives, so I...
There have been a handful of very well documented studies by SPCR forum members on chimney stack convection cooling. The gist of their work -- Any significant...
Hello everyone, Just checking in. The noise from my PC and laptop doesn't catch my attention anymore. Maybe it is a combination of hearing loss and higher...
. ... . Fair enough. But I don't work on large video files all that often. Can plug in, work, unplug, blessed silence. . -- David Smith / david@... ...
. ... . Our main PC competes with the refrigerator for attention. The fridge is an old one and will probably give up the ghost in a year or two, to be replaced...
In way of agreeing with Mike; there is a major difference between "server" drive use and "home" drive usage - the drive activity level. Server drive are rarely...
Just a thought Mike; would it be a sensible effort to rig a fairly normal-size, if tall, tower case with all the air entries low down, and the only exit via a...
Excellent points on this thread, thanks. Although now I want to build a 5-foot-tall PVC chimney and give it a try. :) ... [Non-text portions of this message...
Silent Pc review is not the authority on all things computer or cooling :p honestly a chimney case should be doable, it's just a matter of the right design...
ehhh you want that chimney to be over the two greatest heat generators, i.e. the cpu and the power supply so about the middle of the top of the case If you...
... This seems eminently feasible, John; the main issue is just how much heat you're trying to evacuate. If it's not too much, sure it'd work. But how ...
I don't plan to make one, but here are some thoughts on making a chimney: The higher the better, of course. The wider the better, to reduce air resistance. The...
My plans for a new case and computer, a cube design around 43 cm or 17.7 inches one compartment for freezone extra rad and the pelt setup. otherside the...
I own 6 pabst 4412FGL's and 6 NMB 4710-04W-B10's pretty much the quietest 120mm fans around when this group was still rocking, However by now they are...

I didn't know where else I'd ask this, so I thought of Silent-PC! I'm working on a watercooled project that will integrate into sort of a cooling suit for a...
Hey I built a scratch case for my sister and I posted it in the case mod competition at coolermaster :) Please vote for me if your still listening :) it's nice...
