My quiet ARIA

Using a camera phone, so forgive the quality.

Lets see, its an:

Antec ARIA with custom 120 intake & propriatary 300W PSU
Gigabyte 81G1000MK Mini ATX (865)
P4 2.4C @ 3.0 & Zalman 7000B-Cu
1GB Corsair VS DDR @ 415 (512*2)
BFG 6800 GT (400/1100) & Zalman 700-Cu
SB Live value
Hauppauge 150 PVR
Pioneer DVD +/- 106D
WD 76GB 10000RPM (Raptor)
Sony Trinitron E540 (21")
Cambridge Soundworks 4.1 speakers
Logitech Cordless Desktop Pro keyboard
Logitech MX700 wireless mouse
Lexmark E321 B&W Laser printer

Gonna add another 1GB when FEAR comes out and probably grab a X-Fi with new speakers by the end of the year. Also trying to get a Dell 2005FPW to replace the Sony as it would be alot easier to travel with.

Both Zalmans are current running at 7V (gonna switch back to 5 I think) and the 120s are Tek-Chains (from Fry's Electronics) running at about 1050RPM (lowest they can go). Its a whisper quiet machine. Raptor is much quieter vs my old SFF (SB65G) with my DVD drive being the loudest thing by FAR (good thing it doesn't get used often).

When I get my new grilles, I'll clean up the side 120 hole and cut the punched grill out of the back. Clean up the wiring a little and switch the Zalmans to 5v.

Was thinking of maybe doing a pain job (all flat black) but would need some advise (LINKS???) on how to do it.

Anywho, cheers.
