Completely Silent Media PC
Kez writes "Zalman's first completely fanless PC case, the TNN 500 was an impressive piece of engineering, but it was very bulky. Aiming their new chassis at those looking to build multimedia PCs and who don't want noisy fans to spoil their experience, the TNN 300 is smaller than its predecessor. From the Hexus.net review: 'It's a niche product that will appeal, in no uncertain terms, to a select bunch of users that value silence above all else. If you happen to be one of them, the TNN 300 is a pretty unique product that will appeal to you.'"
With a silent media PC would you at least be able to use closed captioning so you know what is going on?
...you can hear their servers grinding to halt!

Yes, if you happen to be one of the people to whom it will appeal, then it will appeal to you.
A 10-metre DVI cable and a USB repeater cable are much cheaper than one of these cases
You're missing the hidden cost there. A quiet PC case is much cheaper than buying another room.
Wouldn't that make it hard to hear the dialog from the movies?
Of course given the quality of most movies these days you may be on to something.
