Building a Silent, Air-Cooled System
A reader:"Tired of those whining fans? Want some piece and quiet when working on your PC? Water cooling can be too expensive and too complicated to install, why not just stick to air cooling? This article describes how you can remove PC noise without turning the inside of your PC case into a small oven. Follow the road to silence while keeping an eye on the system temperature."
Obviously brain damaged.
I was hoping for more of a hack approach, not just replacing everything with its more expensive, silent counterpart.
The Mac Mini is only $499. That isn't too expensive considering what you get for the money.
