[Build help] Silent workstation
Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2012 5:34 pm
Hello,
I am trying to build a quiet workstation. I plan on using on-board graphics because I will not be playing any computer games.
I will use the Crucial M4 as a primary, and the 2TB internal as storage. If I buy tonight, I can get another $15 off of the power supply due to a special.
Will the 800 RPM Scythe fans cause air flow issues with this case?
