thinking i'll rebuild my pc; it's "quiet" by most standards now, but not enough. here's what i have now:
seasonic super silencer 300w
160gb seagate ide 7200rpm hdd
antec case (mid tower), rubber wasers on hdd (nice)
120mm antec case fan (turned down all the way with zalman fanmate)
masscool whisperock (" ") cpu cooler
athlon xp 3000
512mb kingston pc3200
chaintech 7njl6
emu 0404
liteon dvd/cdrw (irrelevant; just use for ripping)
thoughts:
1. fanless psu: suggestions? teh seasonic is actually not that quiet
2. hdd: 250gb samsung sata or ide with nidec motor
3. 120mm nexus exhaust (fanmate-ed)
4. good heatsink for socketA fits 80mm fan (suggestions?)
5. athlon xp mobile 2500 undervolted
6. 80mm nexus fan for heatsink
7. undervoltable soketA mobo
and that's about it. suggestions? changes?
my power requirements are minimal. the main thing i use my pc for is music, then just web surfing and productivity. pretty much anything will do.
