I've quieted 2 PCs. In my estimation the most important components, in order, are quiet disks, quiet case fans, quiet CPU fan, quiet power supply, and case quieting foam. For these components the best I could find, in the same order are Seagate Barracuda, AcoustiFan, Zalman, Q Technology (in my Athlon 64-X2 machine), and AcoustiFoam. I got all these mail order through QuietPC USA <http://www.quietpcusa.com/> Their sales guy, Steve Farnsworth, was really helpful. I've probably bought stuff from them a dozen times. I exchanged an unused power supply once -- I decided to upgrade my AT motherboard to ATX after I bought the supply -- and I thought they were very fair. Their AcoustiCase deal, buying a case with precut foam, is pretty cool. Best of luck. -- Kevin
