Posted by Hemos on from the faster-quieter-better dept.

msolnik writes "Tweak3D.net has posted an article over how to build yourself a fast box that doesn't sound like an airplane hanger. Its nice to find something like this - most articles are just about speed this article combines performance and usability. If your interested in building a fast pc that you don't have to put in " See my thoughts on this as well.

    I don't know about you, but my typing speed doesn't depend upon my processor speed, particularly in an editor like vi. Perhaps you are more talking about the time taken to compile that code? In which case only a proportion of your time is spent in compiling, so your time saving would be much less than 25%.

    Step 1- Open tower case.

    Step 2- Convince blonde that humming sound on interior of tower is an ice cream dispenser (or any similar delivery mechanism).

    Step 3- Attach blonde's face to open case through nefarious or non-nefarious means.

    Step 4- Inform blonde that ice cream dispenser (or whatever delivery mechanism you have selected for your fiendish trickery) only operates when you "give it a blow."

    Step 5- Overclock and marvel at the volumes of air motivated by your new cooling unit.
