My computer is silent!!

[WinkOsmosis]

I am pwning Dell! I replaced the PSU fan with a Panaflo L1A, put another one on the front of the PSU for some more pressure, put one on the CPU, one on the rear. Video card has a quiet 80mm fan too. Front intakes are on a circuit with resistors to reduce speed. And I thought my PC was quiet before!
I'll have to see how hot my power supply gets though...

Relevant specs:
L1A fans.. 24cfm 21 dB
Lian Li PC60 case
Athlon XP 1900+ w/ Alpha 8045 heatsink (46°C full load)
Leadtek Ti4400 w/ big stock heatsink (one of the fans broke so I epoxied an 80mm on)
Sparkle (I think..) 400w PSU

Btw, this is not a hardware thread. It's a "my computer is quieter than yours" thread!

I don't have my camera with me. But I just epoxied it to the side to blow over. I have to remove the video card to put PCI cards in behind the fan 🙁.

One of the computers I'm using right now is pretty quiet...

PII 350
64mb RAM
8mb SIS video card
2.1gb HD

3 fans (CPU, exhaust, PSU) running and the loudest thing is the ancient hard drive. 😀

I'm just using this while I'm home for spring break. I have my Athlon XP 2500+ system w/1gb RAM back down at college. I'm also using my mom's Celeron 1.4ghz w/256mb RAM here to write a paper on, but she has a crappy LCD that ghosts even when moving the mouse around. :disgust:

I run all panaflos, a zalman fanless cooler on the video card, and 3 seagate hard drives, very quiet!
