Default No noise


Hi, is there a computer out there which uses no cooling fans. Computers are
getting faster but making more and more noise. I'm willing to sacrifice
some speed for some rest

Default Re: No noise

There are some systems designed for special applications where noise is a
critical factor. The only problem is that the cost is too expensive for the
average user, or even the average business user.

There are but they are pricey. The most mainstream example is from Voodoo
PC. No fans in the system

"Voodoo RAGE F-50 Advanced Personal Computer is a totally silent PC
featuring *NO FANS* whatsoever. The RAGE F-50 uses a new technology which
allows us to eliminate all the fans in your PC, including the Power Supply
Fan. Constructed of heavy gauge aluminium, the Voodoo RAGE F-50 is designed
for the most discerning PC Buyer. If you're looking for a PC with amazing
performance, luxury aesthetics, and runs silently, then this is certainly
the PC for you"

Also check out Zalman, they make the case the Voodoo uses. That would be a
_hell_ of a home-built.

The case costs as much as the computer though...you have to really pay
for no fans.
