I would like to set up a similar computer, with as few fans and spinning drives (zero would be ideal) as possible while staying inexpensive and low-power.You maybe interested in this URL: <http://www.zalman.co.kr/english/product/cnpsma.htm>Thanks for the link. Looks like a good collection of low noise components. I'll keep that in mind for the future system.
FWIW I just switched out a Zalman 80mm fan for a papst 80mm fan. The difference in sound level is significant. However, it seems to have slightly less draw. I didn't spend much time with it, but I was impressed. They run typically $20 and are rated at 12dBa. -- There is no fool to the old fool. -- John Heywood
