My computer is almost too quiet :) And that is even with the stock Intel cooler. I can only imagine how it will sound when I add the Noctua cooler. Photos as soon as I get a camera.

Antec SOLO

Gigabyte H55 USB3 board

4GB RAM

Built in video.

Nexus R5300 PSU

Core i5-650

Noctua 120mm case fan. Mounted on the silicone screws.

WD BLACK 1TB 32mb cache drive. Mounted on the silicone grommets.

NO CD rom. They suck. I have external for emergency.

I am truly amazed at the silence of this machine. I had sent back a Dell Studio XPS 8100 as being too loud. It sucked. And that was even after I put a passive video card in it. Got a full refund.

This computer kicks its ass. Thanks to all who helped with this build, and all others who make up this board.

I find your lack of pictures disturbing.

LOL! As soon as I get a camera I will take some sharp hi rez photos. Sold old one on ebay before I got a new one and then finances tumbled :(

This week I hope to have one.

Well, OK, I promise they will be good ones. And I agree, never did get NASCAR.
