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 never thought I would say these words.....
