    Quiet PC's & Equipment...

    So I am still looking at building a few office systems using the Shuttle mini computers but have found out that they are on the loud side.

    This would be a bad thin to have 3 of these then in my office.

    Does anyone know any good Quiet computers or good Quiet system parts?

    Are you asking about a brand "Quiet" Computers or which specific parts by which companies are quieter than others?

    The Zalman hsf is very quiet. You can see it here. If you choose a video adapter card w/o a fan or use on board graphics you eliminate that source of noise(you can just check pictures of what you are interested in). The other two sources of noise are your power supply fan and cdrom drive noise (some make quite a racket). For a quiet power supply look here. My Sony cd-rom is pretty quiet.

    I like a quiet system. This is what I use:

    Zalman CNPS 5001-CU

    http://www.zalman.co.kr/english/product/cnps5001CU.htm

    EG365P-VE FCA

    http://www.enermax.com.tw/product-01.htm

    Motherboard without fan. Gigabyte 7ZX. I'll eventually upgrade to the Asus A7N8X Deluxe, also no northbridge fan.

    Seagate Barracuda IV. Very quite drive.

    I tolerate my Geforce 4 cause I play games, but a TNT2 M64 would be a good quite solution for an office. Most of them dont have fans.

    I also think that a quality case tends to make less noise. I use an Enlight EN-7237. It's built soild.
