Building a Dead Silent PC
Jouster writes "The folks over at HardCoreWare.net have finally lost it. They built a PC that's well over twenty times quieter than their comparison PC (40 dB versus 65). And it's no sluggard, either: P4 2.80 GHz, 7200 RPM hard drive and--get this!--an overclocked to the max GeForce4 Ti 4200! The only fan in the entire system is in the PSU."
Am i still allowed to say First post?

And i'd like to see them try this fanless lifestyle w/ an athlon

World War II screeched to a halt as the great military powers scrambled to meet an even deadlier foe. The enemy's formidable technology made their victory seem inevitable. Already Berlin and Washington, D.C., had been vaporized by atom bombs, and large parts of the Soviet Union, the United States, and Germany and its conquests lay under the invaders' thumb. Yet humanity would not give up so easily, even if the enemy's tanks, armored personnel carriers, and jet aircraft seemed unstoppable. The humans were fiendishly clever, ruthless at finding their foe's weaknesses and exploiting them. While Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt, and Togo planned strategy, the real war continued. In Warsaw, Jews welcomed the invaders as liberators, only to be cruelly disillusioned. In China, the Communist guerrillas used every trick they knew, even getting an American baseball player to lob grenades at the enemy. Though the invaders had cut the United States practically in half at the Mississippi River and devastated much of Europe, they could not shut down America's mighty industrial power or the ferocious counterattacks of her allies. Whether delivering supplies in tiny biplanes to partisans across the vast steppes of Russia, working furiously to understand the enemy's captured radar in England, or battling house to house on the streets of Chicago, humanity would not give up. Meanwhile, an ingenious German panzer colonel had managed to steal some of the enemy's plutonium, and now the Russians, Germans, Americans, and Japanese were all laboring frantically to make their own bombs. As Turtledove's global saga of alternate history continues, humanity grows more resourceful, even as the menace worsens. No one could say when the hellish inferno of death would stop being a war of conquest and turn into a war of survival--the very survival of the planet. In this epic of civilizations in deadly combat, the end of the war could mean the end of the world as well.
Oh crap, post came out same time as idiotnot, except I was a hair later. Sorry idiotnot and /.
The only explaination is that smoking crack can mess up a brain real bad. Punch your friend in the genitals, that will teach him.
Slashdot has been having some issues with headlines recently. Maybe, just maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but to me dead silent means as silent as a dead person. What this means is the computer has no moving parts (like a dead person). No CDROM. No PSU fan. No hard drive, no vidcard fan, no CPU fan, no case fan, no chipset fan. It netboots and loads the OS into RAM and accesses files over .
Dead people don't move! Dead silent PCs shouldn't either.

Congratulations, I'm sure your penis has been lengthened by this incredible postscript; I can't wait to meet your superior progeny some day when handing them change--the correct amount, of course.
I would be working at a computer company making exorbitant sums of money and buying myself a brand new Camaro convertible, but, alas, I went through public school, so I guess I have to quit tomorrow and go apply for a job at WalMart.
If you get a chance, please remind your children to remember to tip well when my public school-educated boss (one of the best sysadmins I know) brings by their pizza.
