hi folks,
am looking for a silent desktop pc, as quiet as a notebook computer e.g. thinkpad. appreciate ur suggestions and recommendations. mebbe the ones i've seen so far in SLS are the really cheapo DIY ones which are pretty noisy.
thx.
any desktop will be silent as long as you don't switch it on :bsmilie:
on a serious note, it depends on the internal fans to keep the noise down.
agreed... my PC is just placed beside me but i don really hear anything unless i concentrate too much :bsmilie:Most branded desktops are quite silent these days, even the high powered, super graphic Dell workstation.
I recently built my own and was quite happy to find that many casings these days have fans that are very silent. On top of that, hard drives, graphic cards, CPU fans and PSU fans too have quieten down a lot. All these factors help to create very silent PCs.

noise and cost are usually inversely proportional.hi folks,

You can try out some SFF PCs. They are small and quite quiet. My gf has one on her desk and I hardly heard anything.
