Getting there...slowly....

Hey all,

Long time lurker, have posted a couple of times...

My current setup is:

P180 Case
2x Stock P180 fans on low
Nexus 4090 PSU
E6600 Core2Duo (Which idles at fifty-something C. Loaded never gets up to 80C (The motherboards temperature warning level))
Scythe Ninja
RTL-8169 Gigabit card
Audigy 2 ZS
Gigabyte 7600GT (Passive cooled)
Gigabyte P965 motherboard (Passive cooled)
4GB CompactFlash card with linux /boot, / on machine downstairs
DVD burner

As you can see, this is pretty quiet. No hard drives at all. The only moving parts are the 3 fans (PSU and 2 case) and the DVD drive. But it's still not totally silent! Argh!

Help!

Stop each one of your case fans one at a time, see which ones are making the noise

I'd roll the dice that its the antec ones or the PS fan.

You shouldn't have a problem going fanless power supply, either.

After that there isn't anything left to make noise except the dvd drive.
