Default Re: slient computer in dorm.

I acctually started with almost the same system. only the Thermaltake cooling tower Reserator 1, already then i thought my system run to hot.. So i started to uppgrade it a little.
Now I have accutally a modified cooler from an Ford Escort. Ripped off the plastic sides and welded in new aluminium sides with nipples that i used Legris couplings.
I also have one triple-fan PC radiator, The Black Ice.
I had one leak on my CPU cooler who was vith an acrylic front, (so i will NOT reccomend that to anyone) so i got the top of it done in Aluminium.
I am cooling the CPU and two of my hard drives at the moment ( C: = raid 0 with samsung spinpoint.) Starting tomorrow to build some new coolers for my 4 other internal Hard Drive's.
I am using a waterpump from Eheim (1250).
My configuration is as follows:
Motherboard EVGA NF66 (3 PCI, 2 PCI-E x1, 1 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR2 DIMM, Audio, Gigabit LAN, IEEE-1394)
CPU type QuadCore Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, 2400 MHz (9 x 267)
GPU NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS (256 Mb)
Memory 4096 Mb (DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM)
Internal HD's
SAMSUNG HD501LJ SCSI Disk Device (500 Gb, 7200 RPM, SATA-II)
SAMSUNG HD753LJ SCSI Disk Device (750 Gb, 7200 RPM, SATA-II)
SAMSUNG SP0842N ATA Device (80 Gb, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/133)
SAMSUNG SP1213N ATA Device (120 Gb, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/133)
NVIDIA STRIPE 298.10G (298 Gb)SAMSUNG SP1213N ATA Device (120 Gb, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/133)

External HD's
SAMSUNG SP1213N USB Device (120 Gb, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/133)
NDAS SAMSUNG HD400LD SCSI Disk Device (400 Gb, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/100)
WD 2500JB External USB Device (232 Gb, USB)
NDAS SAMSUNG SP2514N SCSI Disk Device (250 Gb, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/133)
NDAS SAMSUNG SP2514N SCSI Disk Device (250 Gb, 7200 RPM, Ultra-ATA/133)
SAMSUNG HD321KJ USB Device (320 Gb, 7200 RPM, SATA-II)

Let me say that i am NOT a gamer, so i don't put to much money in the GPU.
But i find the Samsung disk VERY quiet, and i have the same problem as you. Sleeping in the same room as my computer.
As i said it's nice to have a silent computer..
Pictures of the first setup can be found here :
