Sonata 2 + Phantom 500 + AcoustiPack (pre-cut)... a newbie q
Posted: Wed Nov 29, 2006 7:00 pm
Hi!
I'm totally new to silencing Pcs so hoping for your kind help.
I'm buying a new computer for my home studio. The parts that I buy will be asembled by my friend. And however he is a Tech-guy.. he is not a guru, so I have to make it as easy as possible for him.
Also I can buy from only one place where I get huge discounts and their catologue isn't too great although extensive enough. For this reason unfortunately I can't buy most of the "quite" specialist hardware makers listed on this site. So I decided to buy most quite Case plus most quite PSU I could get plus AcoustiPack to put the noise down as much as I can.
Here's what I'm planning to buy:
Sonata 2
Phantom 500
Intel E6600
Asus P5L 1394 S/L 1066FSB
OCZ 2x1GB 533 RAM
GeForce 6200LE 64/250 mb
Seagate S-ATA UDMA 8MB cashe 7200 rpm 1x80GB and 1x200GB
LG DVD+-Dual burner
And AcoustiPack on top of that.
My first question is it a good combination: Sonata2 and Phantom 500? Both in terms of quiteness and easy installation.
Would you advise to get an additional cooler? If yes, then which one.
Thanx a million for your help!
