Ive been reading about airflow, and so far I understand that the relation between cool air intake and hot air output c...

HTPC Build - Wisdom Wanted!! :D

Hi. I am currently in the process of choosing the components for a HTPC for my girlfriend. I found this forum from the name (silentpcreview) and thought this would be the place to get advice about keeping the noise down in this build, as I would like it to be as silent as possible. Here is what I ha...
