    You have absolutely nailed it with this answer.

    A good copper heatsink (eg Thermalrigh SLK800U) and a cool silent Panaflo L1A 80mm fan is almost completely silent.


    I started with a good case, then the heatsink fan just like you, and then I had to replace my motherboard for one with less voltage toredude the heat a bot, to slow the fan down more... then the PSU ... and then my Northbridge Fan with a big heatsink.... and then my video card

  5. Quiet PSUs by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Better Power Supply Roundup

    For anyone looking for quiet parts, the Silenx PSUs are rumored to perform very well both voltage- and noise-wise. Google found reviews here and here.

  6. In Australia - Same Thing by StArSkY · · Score: 1 · on Verisign Sending Deceptive Domain Renewal Mail?
    I just got a "Renewal" letter from Internet Names Group. They have a little red badge on the letter that says "provisional registrar"... which sounded dodgy. The thing that gave it away was them asking for my domain PIN, which would never be needed for a renewal.

    They also say you agree to the terms and conditions at a URL on their website. The page referenced doesn't exist on their website renewals) ... but the terms I found seemed fairly nasty.

    I have contacted my existing registrar (Melbourne IT), and they haven't even replied to my email. Maybe they don't care if all of their customers are getting changed over to another registrar...

    I will be scanning the letter in (pdf), and posting it a bluecouch in the next 12 hours... need to get home from owrk ;)
