SPCR Certified Silent PCs

Thu, 30 Nov 2006 13:11:44 +0000

Since SPCR was launched in April 2002, the market for quiet computer components has expanded many times. But the number of options and sources for quiet computers is still woefully small. SPCR seeks to change this state of affairs by partnering with commercial system integrators who can take our vision to the next step.

Serenity i7 Sandy Bridge PC, SPCR Edition, by Puget Computers

Mon, 17 Jan 2011 19:28:12 +0000

Time flies in the tech world. Blink, turn your head for a moment, and today's greatest technology is yesterday's news. So it is with the Serenity PC, SPCR Edition. The previous edition turned out to be the quietest computer system we have ever reviewed or even laid our hands on, and probably quieter than any PC will ever be, short of one with no moving parts and zero electronic noise. Another 3.5 months later, the latest SPCR Edition of the Puget Serenity with Sandy Bridge is here.

Puget Serenity, SPCR Edition v.2

Wed, 29 Sep 2010 22:31:49 +0000

In the few months after the Serenity was SPCR-certified as a silent PC, Puget went back to the drawing board to make the i7 PC even quieter. The development team made changes to fans, subtle improvements to the chassis, a series of small upgrades in other components, and perhaps most importantly, resorted to binning (like the big boys) to cherry-pick only the quietest components off their shelf for the SPCR edition. This second sample that we just finished testing is nothing short of marvelous.
