I have three concerns that have led me to want to build my own system (other than I enjoy doing such things).
1) value
2) managing heat in my room
3) managing noise
We currently have two computers in an upstairs room. When both are on, the room is noisy and, during the summer, hot (2-3 degrees hotter than the other rooms).
If I select components to build a quite PC, will I also end up with a PC that generates less ambient heat? Or, do I need to do other things to deal with the ambient heat problems when I build my PC (such as a dedicated cabinet, venting heat out of the room, placing units in a closet, etc)?
Note, I am not concerned about the heat within the unit, as there is plenty of advice here to deal with that. Also, I'm not interested in turning down my A/C

Thanks.
