No Noise PC Reviewed

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the silent-running dept.

Arne Anka writes "How about a no noise PC? Well, Hush has recently launched its ATX range, which takes a full ATX motherboard, decent speed processors and graphics card, but sticks to the main concept of producing no noise PCs. The chassis is made from solid aluminum heatsinks and the whole system is fitted with heatpipes. Have a look at TrustedReviews for the first online review of the Hush ATX."

    ...I prefer a system that runs with enough heat and fans that I don't have to pay heating as well as the electric for my computer.

      ..I prefer a system with lots of fans because it gives me the feeling that I live next to an airport without all the jet fumes.

    Only the CIA computer (terminal) in Mission Impossible was so silent, that Ethan Hunt had a pretty hard time to work on it without triggering the noise sensor alarms...

    "The Hush ATX is a totally silent PC, which is a good attribute for something that deserves to be in a design museum."

    I'm not sure if I want a computer that the review lables as ripe for a museum!

    Also the thing weighs 15kg or approx. 33 pounds; not something you want to trip over in the dark.

    If you're building a home theater setup based around a PC, perhaps you should consider purchasing some furniture first.

    You'll still have noise coming out of the speakers though -- don't forget to add some noise-cancelling earphones for around $100-150. Then you'll really be set.

    Even when I have to use Windows, I simply 'restore' it. Takes about 5 seconds.

    Me too - from the CDs. Takes longer than 5 seconds though, so I've never bothered.
