The goals of this PC is to create one that is silent from 8ft / 2.5m away at both idle and full load. This computer MUST be capable of playing back 1080p video at 60FPS as well as decoding game streaming through Steam from my main PC.

Core 2 Duo e7500 (already have it) and like a passively cooled older GPU. My goal is to make this thing silent, I really want something that I can stream games to into my living room as well as play HD movies on.

Yeah, I'm gonna do it like this-

CPU- Passively Cooled.

GPU- Passively Cooled.

OS- Running on 32GB USB so no spinning sound.

FAN- 1x 120mm case fan running at 25% speed.

SSD is kinda out of budget, if I bought an SSD it'd be going into my laptop. 32GB USB is cheap a'f.

Honestly not trying to be rude or anything, but I see you post all the time on threads but you never actually say anything constructive or actually contribute to the thread in a positive way. It's often just something really troll like, or rude. Also take note I'm not offended that you don't like the choice of my font. Just thought I'd point that out.

Ye Old Whisper

So I've decided I'd take my first pay check from my new job and build a PC that's old, quiet, and cheap. So here's what I'm gonna do:

  1. Design Case
  2. Cash Paycheck, buy old components
  3. Build Case, make it silent
  4. benchmark that mofo

I don't know how pretty it's gonna be, or how well it's gonna perform but hey, lets see how quiet it'll be.

Click follow if you're interested in this.

 

Font choice checks out- I feel like this a memo from the 80s. I always like what creative things people can come up with on small budget builds. Any given the money can make a high end machine. Not everyone can make something interesting with a limited budget. 

Main Rig:  CPU i5-4670k   MOBO Gigabyte Z97N-WIFI   GPU GTX 980ti    RAM 8GB  STORAGE 128GB ADATA(OS)/250GB Samsung 850 EVO(APPS)/3TB WD Red

AUDIO: AMP/DAC TEAC AI-301DA SPEAKERS: Cambridge Audio SX50 Phones: Philips Fidelio X1

There's nothing worse than visiting the build logs part of LTT and seeing spoilers where pics should be and clicking through them. I'm prepared to see images I know my connection speed is crap and it will take time to load, but clicking show more all the time just makes me leave. Please, no more!  :lol:
