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."

    Hard Drives make Noise. CD-Roms make noise. Floppies make noise. A noiseless computer is impossible because anything with a motor will make noise.

    So get a SSD drive from M-Systems (www.m-sys.com) They come in IDE and SCSI format. Oh...and don't complain about the price. If you want a solution to the noise problem, here it is. ;)

    I'm sure it's been mentioned before but if you really want a "noisless" computer just buy a laptop.

      A laptop which is basically all the componants of a pc crammed together and encased in plastic is never going to be as quiet as a comparative desktop.

      If you don't need a fast pc then get a fanless mini itx board http://www.mini-itx.com/, a flanless power supply, a quiet hard drive and put it all in a big airy case with a large low rpm fan and hide it all under the desk. Much quieter and cheaper than a laptop.

    Why do manufacturers keep putting the power supplies in the case with the cpu? The power supplies are a significant source of heat (and fan noise of course). It's annoying to have a "brick" lying on the floor or crammed in with normal plugs, but that shouldn't be a major stumbling block (forgive the pun).
