Thank you so much for providing this one, i got something new.MikeC wrote:[/Silent_PC_with_No_Moving_Parts]Silent PC with No Moving Parts[/url]
Take a look at this discussion - sort of in the same vein. Only a bit more elaborate (and I think also a bit more elegant):Corleone wrote:What if you use a tower heatsink and place a slow running 120mm fan at the back of the case. Then place the case in a corner, having the back face directly into the insulation on the walls, to absorb any possible noise.
This is of course with some clearance to the wall, so that it won't choke the fan or cause slight turbulence (not sure if turbulence would really be audible, as long as it's blowing directly into the insulation and away from the center of the room).
You might also need to apply some insulation on the outside of the case, so that it won't provide sound deflection during testing.
There is a third option to the Antec Skeleton and the Acrylic Cowboy. Not as elegant or exciting as the Acrylic Cowboy, but certainly more accessable:Olle P wrote:Nah, too closed off.cordis wrote:How about an Antec Skeleton with the fan shut off?

Wouldn't a cabinet be too big for the anaechoic chamber? I don't really see exactly how this is related to the lab-puter. Or did I misunderstand where he's placing the puter?ces wrote: Take a look at this discussion - sort of in the same vein.

I guess that is a possibility. But maybe not. I guess you don't know what the acoustics are until you try it. It you are using a 500 rpm fan to change the air, maybe there is no problem.Corleone wrote:Wouldn't a cabinet be too big for the anaechoic chamber?
