there:
http://www.hardcoreware.net/reviews/...ilent_pc/1.php

The article is clear and quite well written, it shows how to manage sound level while keeping top performance.
I have a small gripe though, they built a 'quiet' PC, not silent, it still has 2 fans and a 'free' HDD. They could have used:
- a HDD suspensor, which is known to work well with 'cudas
- noise dampening material around the HDD, maybe
- a fanless PSU, or at least a silent 1-fan PSU
It sounds a bit like an ad for Zalman and TT but really no other competitor is currently on this market (silent compenents). Things may change, i hope so.
