QuietPC

I bought an AcoustiCase quiet PC case and mounted the 1.8 GHz Athlon in it, along with quiet fans, sound-deadening drive carriers and a quiet CPU cooler. The result is a massive improvement and is close to inaudible with the door shut on the under-stairs cupboard, even though it has 10k SCSI drives inside (which are notoriously noisy).

The whole assemblage became Slartibartfast, but is now retired.

The AcoustiCase was good and I still have it. I may use t as the base for a MediaCenter PC.
