Post Your Computer!!!

hehe yeah the box is nice

All the shuttle's I've ever looked at (granted, not many) came with SFF Mobos and Power Supplies (and fans?).

this on the other hand is/was a popular SFF case that requires a separate mobo and psu.

Barebones = shove proc, ram, gpu (and other junk) in, and boot.

All hail the dirtiest desktop evar!!

And my PC of course...

I hate to go off topic but let me ask 1 questions since you guys seem to know a lot about PC >.>

Er.. hey, ATM I have two of my Gforce 7900 GT SLi-ed, but it is making "hummmmmm" sound from stupid fans. Should I downgrade it or something? How do I make it go away lol.

clean that poor desktop lucky thing you don't have to move around you mouse

Wow.. I don't know how you can live in that mess, you probably have so much bugs cause of all the junk there. i wouldn't use that area even if i was payed lol. *no offence*, but you should clean that.

Lol, yeah. that's right after a party. It's cleaner now.
The lubriderm is for my hands. I'm a guitar player in a local PA band, so I need that on certain days.

graphics cards will be loud, especially stock fanned ones. I'm not sure about actual decibel levels, but there are aftermarket fans you can stick on (voiding your warranty, so make sure you know what you are doing). You could also lower the speed of the fans using some software (can't think of it off the top of my head... google fan comtroller or something), but then you run the risk of overheating (BAD!!!!).

Honestly, either move the computer futher away from you, or even go as far as to add some sound dampening pad to the sides of your case.

Man, I'm rambling a lot today.

OR....remove the stock fans and and watercool ur pc....absolutely silent....unless u have a loud psu....then in which case u want a fanless psu...which get VERY hot....but it doesnt overheat...

Watercooling is NOT silent X-x, I don't know why people always say that.

One main part: PUMP. Pumps are electric motors, meaning moving parts, meaning NOISE... NOT silent.

And suggesting watercooling is not a good idea, as it isn't 'safe' for people to do if they don't know exactly what they are doing. Judging by the fact he is asking about quieting down a fan, I can assume he would be better off dealing with the noise than screwing his computer with a leaky watercooling.

And I would really like to know where that thing about noisy pumps is coming from... Maybe people should stop buying the cheapest crap they can find? I don't want to start another discussion about the ethics of cooling here, but I'd like to state that a decent pump, mounted correctly, is next to noiseless (Of course it will not be absolutely noiseless. Show me one cooling system for a modern PC that is and that a normal person can pay). I know that because I have built several water cooling systems. With none of them was I able to hear the pump in a normal noise level environment (no, I am not hard of hearing).

watercooling is NOT leaky if u know what ur doing...and its very silent....just like eighty said....dont buy the cheap crap...cuz my watercooled pc is very silent....with a few relaxing gurgles every now and then...

the beast finally arrived today!
