it'll mostly be for music, and thus needs to be quiet... I got some help from a friend putting it together, and the budget isn't really high, but I'd like to know if anyone has had any experience with any of the parts and know if they are noisy or in some way bad... I don't care much about gaming, but I'm going to go for two screens this time, so don't worry about the screencard not being good for sam & max hit the road or whatever it is you crazy kids are playing these days... also, I've left out the soundcard for now, 'cause I'm getting a pro one later, but that'll take some saving of money. mainboard:ASUS P5LD2 Ram:Corsair Value Select DDR2-667 1024 MB (2x512) Processor:Intel Pentium D 820 DVD-Burner:Nec ND-3540A power-supply:NorthQ 4001AT, 120mm, 24-pin/PCIe HD:Samsung SpinPoint P120 200 GB video-card:Sapphire Radeon X300 128 MB the thing that's around it all:Cooler Master Centurion 531 |

no complaints.... great setup for a silent computer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
great! thanks! besides interferring with recordings, fan-noises (that aren't intake-fans on top of buildings or above stoves.. these work wonders with the tinnitus) make me weird and dizzy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you avoided a lot of fan-traps above..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fan-traps?* *ignore question if you mean as in "you avoided lots of noisy small fans with incessant noises and noise and stuff" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how many mhz? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and how much for it all? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, the processor is a dual-core p4.. 2 x 2,6 ghz. it's a bit over 7000 norwegian kroner... |

i would recomend a samsung DVD burner over the NEC. A minor detail. Otherwise looks nice! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Looks good, but be sure to buy an third party cooler, as the pentium ones are real noisy |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
heh.. the dvd-burner comes with good recommendations, so... pf: hmm.. thanks. I'll order the entire thing and wait and see if perhaps the case dampens the sound or whatever... but do you have any recommendations for cheap and good extra coolers? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
iz a good fan(ny)? href="http://prisguide.hardware.no/vis_produkt.php?product_ wot abutuzot disxzxz? I'm trying to keep them matched to the.. power-thingie. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
fuck shit ass cunt! again.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've got a similar fan, but made by Zalman, it keeps my processor amazingly cool :) pretty quiet as well, mine's also got a control on it, so you can turn the speed down if you want it to be even more quiet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
FINALLY!!! I recommend Zalman fans but they're massive so you need to check they'll fit in your case first :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, mine was a tight fit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
looks nice! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Mine is getting covered in dust so it needs a hoovering. They do a damn good job though :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, gave mine a hoovering a few weeks back... not sure what it's like now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not as dusty I would hope |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
great! thanks guys! I'll look into the zalmans! I think I read something about one of those thingies, so I can only hope they'll fit into the comp then... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"sam & max hit the road or whatever it is you crazy kids are playing these days." lolz, yeah the x300 should cover that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which zalmans do you have, btw? chris and sister? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, I found two zalmans that fit my comp (don't know how they fit in the cabinet yet, but I'll check later). Both say that the min and max db output is higher than the northqs... they are min. 20 db, while the northq says min 12 db... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm still in need of being helpified. I'm getting northq fans due to the lower min db I think, but I'm not yet sure if it will actually fit on my motherboard... there are things standing up from the motherboard in the area around where the fan will be and the fan is rather large, but I see that it has a "rise" and that the fan itself is a bit higher up than its base.. however, it is impossible to tell how much higher and if it will fit on the motherboard I'm getting... northq is a zalman rip-off of sorts, and they're supposed to have the same dimensions, so, does anyone know if it will fit on this asus motherboard? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm going for the second of the fans I linked, btw, as it is lighter (~400 grams as opposed to the heavier one that's around 800) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, god fucking damn.. there's always trouble when I'm buying stuff.. stuff goes out of sale/production and becomes more expensive and shit and crap. long story short: I need a new screen card that needs to be: fanless, no hypermemory or turbocache, support for two screens and not expensive. I'm looking at these two: |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I also recommend you a zalman cooler, I've it and it's very silent! One day I entered the room, I turned on my PC, and then I realized it was already running... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha! that's the way it is with my comp now... the hard-drives aren't there to cause ruckus, and that fan in the power supply is the most quiet thing I ever didn't hear! the thing is that the zalman coolers say they have min 20 db while the northqs have min 12 db, which means that I'll have a EVEN harder time figuring out if it's on or not... heh... |
