Ultimately it's a question of the cooling efficiency of the PSU. You can't really make judgements on the best solution without knowing how much cooling/airflow the PSU actually needs. I'm not clue-y enough about the terms and numbers here to make a qualified statement, but here's what I'm thinking: ...

Since this topic has been revived; There is another simple solution that hasn't been mentioned. It's just as valid as the solution presented here. Wear ear-plugs.

The problem is that I'm not sure how to choose my replacements. I'd expect that a more expensive set of spe...

Over the last year or so I seem to have become particularly sensitive to the noise emanating from my pc. As ...

I can't wait to see a full SPCR review of this case. It may be the case which makes me NOT buy the Silverstone FT02. I love the concepts of FT02, but the Define Mini is half the weight, and I really don't think I need a full ATX MB. Hopefully Fractal Design will be sending a demo case ... Speaking o...
