Media PC?

Hey all!

 

Yesterday our Blu-ray player broke and that gave me a reason to finally put together the media PC for our living room. 

 

Any suggestions? I have a GTX 560 Ti laying around and I was planning to use a case like this. http://www.cooltek.de/en/powered-by-jonsbo/g3/96/g3

 

Because it sits right below the television, it needs to be quiet. Some low RPM fans and maybe throw in some sound dampening pieces too?

 

As this is not going to be a high end gaming PC, I'd like the price to be as low as possible. 

 

 

 

Thanks, 

 

Mikko

I can't see why that wouldn't work for your needs. There are some really good fans out there that are cheap for what you are trying to accomplish. My tower with default fans and video card isn't even audibly loud unless I turn up the fans. When you get it build I would like to know what dampening materials you use. i want to build a second PC for audio recording.

Can be found on my profiIe
