I have two computers that get used most frequently. One is a Clariion audio computer which is not the latest grates, but runs quite for studio recording.
It has 1 (ONE) fan and never has heating problems. 845 chipset 2.2 Ghz. You cn't even tell that it's on. The micropone however still picks up a lot of noise so I wired keyboard, mouse, 2 monitors, audio breakout cable, midi switch cable, usb, and firewire to wall outlets and the computer sits in an un-airconditioned cclosed loset with soundproof lyning.
The other machine is a game machine with a 2.4 Ghz HT (C) 12 fans total, radon 9800 pro with component hdtv video out via a dvi to component converter. 895p chipset, Giant aluminium case. The thing sounds like an air conditioning unit.
My next project is to make the vieocentric computer more quit so I can actualy use it in a Qubase network. Even being on a differnt floor and the other side of the house form the studio I can't have it on while recording.
Water cooled is definaly a possible first step. Anyone have any other ideas for keeping the video card cool? Anyone know of a 450W power supply with a quiet fan?
Um, one in a different room?
