Rusty I would have to disagree on a silent machine not costing that much more than a normal machine to get the same performance. I mean when you can buy $4.00 high speed fans that just SCREAM at like 50db or something, it makes buying $15.00 silent fans a bit of a money hit.

Also to get equal cooling for the slower fan speed, you need to drop money on more serious cooling solutions such as a more effective blocks, raditors, pumps, etc...

I think to get a reasonably quite machine with a limited performace cap, is able to be done for sorta cheap. (the middle of all worlds).
