    Have any of you ever thought about building an absolutely silent PC. I think that would be really cool.

    There are silent PSU options in the Antec Phantom500 and some thermaltake units

    The nothbridges nowerdays are coming with heat pipes.

    Some Gfx cards have no-fan heatsinks and you can buy some good fanless ones too

    You could get awaywith no case fans if you dont plan to oc at all

    But the stumbling block is always going to be the CPU cooler. Are there any fanless or completely silent water cooling units out there?

    Yeah I considered it, but it seemed expensive and a better idea to go for a better spec computer that was noisy than a slower one that was silent. My laptops pretty quiet most of the time.

    The Zalman Totally No Noise was a case which acted as a big heatsink, so you could literally have silence. Problem was that it cost about £700.
