Instead of soldering the entire pipe to the plate so the contact surface is minimal. Wouldn't it be better to rip the pipe in half and then solder it on. So there is a more direct path for the heat to take.
Secondly. After about a month of planning and prepping I silenced my PC. The first night with the "silent" comp I almost went nuts because of the HD noise. My solution was hooking up a ramdisk and running SETI and AIM of it. It didn't solve the problem 100% but it sure did cut down on the number of times when the HD had to spin up.
Does anyone have any numbers on how quiet you can get a HD if you water cool it surround it in foam?
