My Quiet System (Work In Progress)

Post by UK-Bob » Sat Dec 02, 2006 11:05 am

Well Ive been round the forum for a bit now and log in often to catch any posts or threads that may be of interest to me which Im glad to say is quite a few ! Thought Id get a reaction on my system as it is with the aid of some rather bad fotos that were taken with my pda, and a list of parts that are fitted or that will be fitted.

Parts list:
Antec NSK 6000
250w generic psu
MSI 6747 M-ATX mobo
Nvidia GeForce FX5600 - 256
f/w Aerocool VM 102
P4 HT 3.06 - 478
f/w CoolerMaster heatsink & Fan
1.50 GB ram Dual Channel
Pioneer DVD RW 106D
Sony DVD DDU1612
Seagate Barracuda ST3160021A 160 GB IDE HD
Sony FD
7134 mk3 TV Tuner
Antec TriCool 120 case fan


Not a monster system, but one that has never crashed and does what I ask of it.

Since this was taken the HD has been moved to the bottom as it runs cooler there VM 102 has looks sooo nice ;)

I am changing the CoolerMaster cpu cooler for either the Scythe Ninja or the Scythe Infinty and changing the Antec Tricool case fan for a Noctua NS12 800 rpm and maybe another one of these on the cpu heatsink. Was not looking at intake fans unless I feel it would realy need them but was looking at running two 92mm fans in series if they are fitted.
The Psu will be swaped for a Seasonic S12 380 maybe ? Dont need much power for this set up :)
Lots of write ups on the Seasonic at the moment, so need to read more on this unit before I decide. Will post better pics when finished along with temps and such ;)

Those are all solid and popular choices and should make a very positive impact.

Only thing left to do would be decouple the hard drive.

Your generic PSU looks like an FSP, which isn't really all generic. :)
