I want to Build a Really quiet System
Im really enamored with this new little Bitfenix Prodigy
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... QgodmRYAMQ
And want to put in a really nice LOW WATTAGE core I7
http://ark.intel.com/products/65525 (3770T)
and use a Pico PSU
And Passive Cool the thing with the biggest radiator i can find
that will fit.
With a Silent Pci_e Card that does not draw a lot.
It does not to be All-powerful, but Im thinking with a Pico 150w, i can easily Fill all the drive bays and still run this on a brick.
IF NOT, The other build i am seriously considering is a FANLESS full Silent PSU like the 4 demoed on this site.
The PSU sits right under the mobo tray. One of the four is supposed to mount vent up. But in the prodigy case the vent is on the bottom. for the three that dont say is there any big deal mounting a Fanless 400w or 500w with the
board inverted, so that the heatsink is at the bottom of the case, ratehr than just below the mobo tray?
Thanks for any advice. If I have to go with it which of the full size silent ATX PSUs do you all use?
My Current Build is a Zalman HD 160 with a Q6600 Core 2 Quad 2.4 Ghz with 2 Gb Ram, and Win XP 32/bit /Win 7 Dual Boot, with Dual Geforce 8600GTS on an Asus P5k Deluxe Fifi/AP.
ATM its running a Zalman Performa CPNS10x Performa and is about 18 Db, with 2 WD 2Tb Greenpowers and a CoolerMaster 650 PSU.
I also have a NeXT Cube that has a AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ 6" LCD and DVD-RW in the old Optical Slot, has a single vantec 80 MM stealth fan pumping the cpu with air, It Runs on a Pico Psu and is about 22 Db with a mech. HD
and a Mac Se/30 with a 9" Color Monitor, and Slot Load DVD where the Floppy is Its a P III 800 Mhz,
Ill Show pics if people want to see the builds, It is NOT Quiet however This is my first Post here
