Build a Quiet Gaming System

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the whirrrrrrrrrr dept.

ThinSkin writes "Armed with a newly discovered soundproofing foam, Loyd Case from ExtremeTech set out to build a quiet gaming rig that hits the sweet spot in both performance and silence. After choosing the right components and insulating the PC case, Loyd's silent PC weighed in at a shade under $2500, scored 5206 3DMarks, and is hardly audible from more than a meter away."

    Or, buy a Mac. They have this crazy idea that computers should be quiet to begin with.

    Of course, they also use advanced firmware like EFI and not 25-year-old technology like the PC BIOS, which Microsoft and PC makers want you to keep using for the next decade, so maybe PCs will always be noisy pieces of crap because nobody innovates in that industry.
