Re: What do I need to do to make this silent PC happen?
I want to build a totally fanless, diskless PC inside an Antec Fusion Media center case. Fanless power supply, no cpu fan, no video fan, no north-bridge fan. it has been stated many times on spcr that a fanless powersupply will usually just dump all the heat inside the case, still requiring a fan o...

1u server hs for project?
hi, does anyone have experience of using 1u server heatsinks ? i wanna build a ultra low profile desktop and the heatsink is the only thing in my way right now :) question is then: do these types of heatsinks require vast amounts of airflow to operate well? cpu would be 3200+ running at 1ghz 1.1v / ...

I think it's safe to say that most active bikers don't have knee troubles, but if you have weak knees or joints that wear easily it's probably not a good idea to bike for a living. Obviously you have to configure your bike so you can use all of its potential, meaning you need the correct position. ...

being an ex-messenger i'm more into fixed wheels. all you hear on fixed bikes are the elegant sounds of skipping and skidding. ofcourse, since they're single speed you always have a perfect chainline and therefor no noise from the drivetrain. and the looks... stunning. http://img226.imageshack.us/im...

Re: Question on massive heatsinks
Since CPU heatsinks seem to be so efficient today I've been pondering using passive cooling on the CPU that's true, however i must point out you actually need a bit of airflow through your case, at the very least holes at the top and bottom to let convection suck in fresh air and let the heated air...

and ofcourse you've read the "warnings" on spcr that a fanless might trap hot air in the case, raising case temperatures? generally a fanless psu needs some good airflow aswell. a nice seasonic psu would probably be inaudible in your setup..?Mari0-Br0s wrote:Now I need to known what fanless PSU to use.
