Plans for quiet computer systems and parts shop in Oz
Hello,
This is mainly directed at all Australians of SPCR...
I'm in the planning stage of setting up a shop for quiet systems and parts as there is less than a handful of shops that provide quiet gear (the best one being PC Case Gear)...
So...I'd like to run a little bit of a poll of what you guys think, are there too few options for buying quiet/silent pc gear (including full systems)?
Thank you all for your time.

Hello again fellow Brisbanite.
I'd definitely welcome competition... PCCG is nice but we do still miss out on alot of enthusiast parts (Noctua, Yate loon etc)... plus the range of coolers is still lacking a little. I haven't checked out their whole site so can't say how the rest compares. Certainly it'd at least open up a bit of price competition too... PCCG doesn't have to compete on alot of parts and I'm sure they take that into consideration when they price them up.
Also... if you offered local pickup in Brissie I'd be all for that too $15 postage is a bugger.

Every now and again I check my friends wholesale lists, there are a surprising amount of quiet components but the reason they are not commonly ordered is due to the cost.
Fans seem to be the only component that’s really lacking from the Oz retail scene. You have no problem walking into most stores and getting a Ninja, P180 case, Seasonic or Corsair PS, etc
PCCG basically covers the little after market accessories that only people on these forums care about and yes the $15 postage is a PITA.
