Hi All,
Well i'm looking to build a new HTPC at a later date, something around a P4 2.8 or 3.0.
But the problem i have is it's gotta be silent as it'll be in the main room, the noisiest thing is my WD HD's. (10.2gig & 80gig)
The seek noise is acceptable, but the spindle noise isn't.
I've seen a few thing's here @ Quiet PC.
The thing is they run too hot to fit into a drive enclosure, would anyone recommend one of the other devices ??
Or do you have any other suggestions ?? And i'm trying to use the same components out of this build, and just change the mainboard, CPU and memory to keep costs down.
Cheers
