Hi, I am putting togeather a quiet PC for general use including photoshop, NOT for 'serious' games, here's what I like the look of so far: Case : Nexus Breeze ...
I was in the process of writing a detailed response, but I accidentally clicked back and lost the post, so this makeshift one will have to do... Your CPU is...

Greetings, And I thank all of you for your contributions to this group and quieting down my PC. It is time to build a new one now. My interest is in...
Dear all: I'm new to this group. I evolutionary integrate my PC myself, and currently I realized that I need a more silent PC when I worked at one quiet night...
All, I'm looking to build a truely silent PC using off-the-shelf componants. The processessing requirements are very modest (need only ~300Mhz celery...
... I still have my old Slot 1 motherboard and Pentium II Celeron 266 Mhz. The CPU has no fan -- just a big aluminium heat sink. The only fan in that system...
You sound like the perfect buyer for a Via Eden mini-itx board: Small size (170mm square), integrated fanless CPU, onboard video, audio, lan, and only costs...
Well, for a single purpose network device, you could just use a PC/104 single board computer, which has everything you need, and is already silent. You can...
I found a good explanation of why UPSes with AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation) and just plain line conditioners with AVR produce some noise. This appeared on...
That explains it for Triplites which use a relay switched tapped transformer. Every change in input voltage requires relays switching. I'm not fond of this...

Do a search on the term ferroresonant. You'll find them. I'm old fashion about these things. I think nothing stops a power spike like putting 20 pounds of...
"Ferroresonant Transformer (Ferro) - A special transformer which puts out regulated AC voltage even when the input voltage is variable. A ferro-resonant...
From the point of view of heat dissipation it appears to me that graphics cards are upside down when mounted in a tower case ie the heatsink is underneath the...
Phil-- Short answer--yes, they are not as effective as they would be if they were reversed on the card. If they were "turned around", that would also help in...

The upside down orientation is part of the AGP specification if I recall correctly. (Could be the ATX spec though) It's just a standard that was established...
Not just the graphics cards Phil. Since this industry has grown like Topsy, nothing has really been properly designed, it has all just been dumped in the case...
... that's no defence, active cooling has forced circulation so is less sensitive to orientation, its the convection cooled cards that will suffer most. ...
Have been enjoying this group for while, it's time to make some contribution. Share with you my experience of upgrade my PC to AMD 64. After been using my...

... That's interesting, I'm surprised the AMD 64 runs 'cool' I have a list here (in Micromart magazine) that says it consumes 89 Watts, compared to a 3200 ...
As an early adaptor of an A64 let me just say all the good things being said about it is true. It's a great choice if you want the Video Card or Hard Drive to...

Aye, but the use of a 64-bit kernel allows the use of 64-bit apps. That allows 2x the data transfer in a bus cycle over a 32 bit app, and frees up 8 registers...
Mike, I would not base my considerations just on the heat signature of the Athlon64. You have to consider the quantum leap in technology that this processor...
