Silent PC: parts manifest
Silent PC: parts manifest
This is my new HT PC. I think that with one alteration, one could record in
the same room. The Zalman CPU cooler is running at 1400 rpm, which is the
minimum achievable with motherboard control of the fan voltage at a minimum
of 4 volts. The cooler is a very efficient heatpipe design that could run
slower. The case is made of a composite of plastic and steel, and appears to
be far more efficient at noise damping than previous efforts employing
absorbent foam. Samsung drives are known to be the least audible of current
hard drives, although they must be shock mounted because they do vibrate.

My advice: search for surplus VMEbus racks and a good Intel based VME
SBC.

All that effort and money for an *almost* silent pc.
Personally, I'd recommend a loaded Mac-Mini and a Time Capsule.
Silent, small, and it will look good on your rack.
Just an idea.

Great, if you want something that is slow, proprietary, and unexpandable.

Bullshit, on all three counts.

The requirement of a Time Capsule external storage add-on confirms the basic
boxes lack of expandibility.
Max 2G storage again confirms the basic boxes lack of expandibility and
basic slowness.
2 GHz core 2 duo again confirms the basic boxes lack of expandibility and
basic slowness.

Arnii, I know we've been over this before, but why aren't you ashamed of
your inability to explain things like an adult? A typical third-grader
wouldn't make the elementary mistakes you do. Are you learning-disabled
in addition to being insane?

Agreed - a Mac mini would make a superb music server and would be about
as silent as a PC can get. It's plenty fast enough for that purpose, and
whether it's "proprietary" or not is irrelevant to that end (it's not in
any meaningful way).
As to expansion, what would one add other than more disk space and
perhaps RAM? Both are easily accomplished.
