Beginning Of the End For PC Noise

Posted by Hemos on from the ah-the-quiet-machine dept.

An anonymous reader writes "If you work around computers a lot you are probably pretty tired of the noise they produce. The cutting down on computer noise has grown from the pet-peeve of a few people to a major segment of the hardware industry. If you are looking to cut down on noise there are a lot of ways to go, but one of the easiest and most effect is to upgrade to a silent power supply. This guide goes over and tests the four most popular ones on the market right now." A few years back, I had also written a piece about making silent machine as well. Any other hints from people?

    screw that.

    I cut v notches in the trailing tips of the blade to increase the noise created by the fans 3 fold.

    my PC at home sounds like someone is running 6 vaccuum cleaners in the box.

    at lan parties, I usually get a "holy crap! how many fans you got in that?!"
