Hi,
I have just joined mythtv-users and am beginning to build my first HTPC
but I though I would I have been into Silencing PCs succesfully in the
past and thought I would share what I have found
I a really good source of information, help and reviews is:
http://www.silentpcreview.com/
And if you at all have a passing interest I would recommend it.
In the past I have had a lot of luck using Seagate Barracuda drives
suspended by elastic, under-volted Panaflows fans on Thermaltake
heatsinks for the CPU colling and FSP Sparkle Powersupplies with 120mm
undervolted Fans. Even in a standard normal case I have found this to
be very quiet with enough power to handle several drives and 3Ghz
Processors.
With smaller cases on HTPC I would still try and fit the largest fan
possible in the space and run a quiet fan like a Panaflow.
Thanks,
Tim.
