I wouldn't say the Freezer 64 is very quiet, it might be quieter than a stock cooler, but it is still pretty noisy. The Nexus fans are supposed to be really quiet at low voltages.
You don't need a 500W PSU, 350W will do it.

The advantage of a bigger fan is, that the same amount of air is moved with lower rpm, and therefore lower noise. The frequency of a bigger fan's noise is usually lower, which makes a more pleasant noise to humans.

Did you already buy the P4? Cause if you did, then it'll be really hard to make your system quiet. The P4 is much too warm for a silent system, an Athlon 64 with Venice core is much cooler. Did you think of an HDD suspension yet?

You don't need 535W, a 350W Enermax should be more than enough.

Maybe a DFI? They are made for overclockers and have an awesome support, maybe you should study some reviews, I'm sure there will be lots to find. You might want to ask in an overclocker forum, too.

The Nothbridge will probably get pretty warm (nForce4), i'd prefer a VIA chip. I'd take a steel case, if you have a reserator anyways then the weight shouldn't matter, and aluminum cases usually vibrate more than steel ones. Take one where you can use a 120mm fan in the back, then it should run on o...

If you want to run the CPU Fanless, the NCU would be the better choice.
You should take a Mainboard with a VIA KT890 Chip, the nForce 4 is getting too hot.

Have a look at my system advise thread, looks like we have about the same needs. http://forums.silentpcreview.com/viewtopic.php?t=22722&sid=b64b42f27db1fd3982d6ad5bd597f326 I would not take a fanless psu, I would take one with a 120mm fan and have it as the only fan in the system. You don't need the...

I think 1.1V would be low enough, I don't even think the CPU will get that low, I'm not planning on underclocking (except C&Q). The board has 2 UltraDMA 133 channels. I still have an LG CD-Writer that I'm going to use. I don't find any information on CrystalCPUID and the KT890, but I'll try again to...

Yeah I think that's kind of what bitumen is. I think the normal use for those mats used for the box is in cars. People in Germany say, that the Seagate SATA drives are louder and not noticable faster than the PATA drives. The only advantage would be the smaller cable. The warranty of a WD Caviar dri...

Is my system perfect or is there noone who gives a shit about it?

Not bad, but I can tell you, it's better to prevent sound than to deaden it.

Your biggest problem is the Prescott. In my eyes, it is not possible to get a Prescott to run quiet. What kind of PSU do you have? It helps, if you have a PSU with a 120mm Fan, because it gets more air at a quieter noise out of the system than one with 2 80mm fans. Try to put one 120mm Fan in the PS...

Hey, I've been a Silenthardware.de-board member for a long time, and now the time has come to buy a completely new system. I already did a lot of research on this and posted it in the Silenthardware.de-board, but I thought I'd post it in another board, too, to get another opinion next to the "german...
