9db is a lie for SilenX...their DB readings aren't done on a standard, I wouldn't trust their ratings. Hopefully they last a month without spewing oil or failing.
Oops. oh well, guess i'll use em till they die. Is it doing to be messy?

Nexus are nice. I've connected 3 Nexus fans with each-other using the molex connectors, than taking one of the 3 3pin connectors and plug it into a cheap zalman fancontroller (about 5-8$ i think), and then connected the controller to my motherboard.

I have a built-in fancontroller in my motherboard that I can activate via BIOS. So I sat the fan-speed to 70%, then using the cheap fancontroller to get it even lower. The fans are now down to ca:550rpm and are dead quiet. I can´t hear my computer due the sounds outside, so I think it is quiet enough for me

Silenx are so full of crap. I have 4 or 5 of their fans sitting in the closet. One broke on installation, another smelled of burning oil and the rest were just way too noisy. All replaced by much quieter Noctua fans. Some of Scythe's fans are pretty quiet too.

Silenx employees were busted a few years ago on the SilentPCReview forums as well for running a marketing campaign under different user names much like Beresford was busted for here.

I like Aerocool, at 800rpm their 12cm turbines are just dead silent

He uses the loudspeakers for this purpose, that's why they are so close.

If you get nearfield monitors (like Dynaudio, Adam, Genelec, etc), it will be no problem.

I've got smaller speakers on a bigger desk and they still sound a lot better when they have more space. I'll post the pic tomorrow after I clean up the cable mess :P

Here's my computer set-up now. I'm trying to find a smaller desk so I can position my speakers better but so far I've had no luck. Sounds great but I definitely wish my room were bigger. Specs for the Rocketfish pc are in my profile.
