Building the Ultimate Silent PC
TRH writes "You had a post not long ago about building a totally quiet PC, I came across this article on Rabid Hardware where the author had another approach for quieting down a PC, through ripping out fans, motors and replacing heat sinks with sound deadener material. Funny read, especially from a site that's known in the modding world for being a little off-the-wall to begin with." Finally, the silent PC you crave, and for a change, this one won't cost you a fortune.
I hate it when there's no noise. Without that, and my lights burnt out, I can never tell if the wonky parts are still going!
I have found that my PC runs silently when I play my illegally gotten mp3's at ear crunching loud volumes. Preferrably "System of a Down" or "Tool" although I have been known to play the soundtrack from "Fiddler on a Roof" or "The Fantasticks" also.
is the one at the store that I can't afford. All I hear is a little voice that says, "buy me, buy me". It might just be in my head.
I'll bet he couldn't even hear his computer as he was most likely hearing impaired from listening to a screeching Scottish Catholic woman bitch at him all day and night.
Is this post for real?
...wicca... part of your domain - I am sure you have more issues than just the noise that his machine was making.
First of all - with that
Second - I dont blame him for leaving if you're constantly harping on him about things like the flipping key-stroke noise that kept you from getting all the rest you needed for your oh-so-difficult receptionist job.
Third - your not used to a lot of noise because your from scotland? but now all of a sudden your OK with it all because you have a computer job? I assume you have a much larger paycheck now - so it would seem that you didnt really care about the noise, you jsut cared about the money that you weren't getting. Now that you have a job making a larger wage you can suddenly forget about the fact that you're "from a rural area in Scotland, [and] not used at all to roaring cars and noise and humming computers"
Now you miss him because you could really use his computer?
JEEEBBUUSS!!
Give me that guys email address - I would like to congradulate him for leaving you!!
What you must realize, though, is that Dynamat is not designed to reduce noise. It is designed, like so many other car audio products, to separate fools from their money.

Until you upgraded to a C-64 and bought the floppy drive that accomodated it. You know the sound that a bum makes when he tries to clear his throat? Yeah, that's your C-64's floppy drive loading Flight Simulator for the next two minutes.
I know a couple who are Irish. He's prodestant, she's catholic. Whenever they argue, she blows up his car.
Anything like that?

This, coming from slashdot... I wonder how many people who are replying to the original post have ever even had a girlfriend.. All women are like this, if you find one who's not, she's probably a lesbian.
