Hi, Thanks for all the info so far. I have gathered some components: Processor: i5 750 Heatsink: ? MB: Asus P7P55D Memory: Corsair XMS3 4GB(2x2GB) PC3-10666 HDD: 2 x Western Digital WD5000AADS (Bulk, Caviar Green) (500GB) Case: Antec SOLO Fan: Nexus 120mm Real Silent case fan DVD: Lite-On iHAS124 24xDVDRW PSU: Seasonic S12II, 380Watt, ATX Screen: Lenovo L1951p 19" or ThinkVision L197 19inch (1440x900) Wide Flat Panel LCD (Analog/Digital) HDCP TCO 03,MPR-II
That cabinet has the PSU placed at the top. If you want a silent case, but one which is cheaper than antec p183, maybe fractal design could be an alternative? Regarding heatsink, thermalright hr-02 looks really promising. It might not be good enough to run passively, although it is supposed to, but the fins are wide, so you could get away with using a low-pressure fan such as a noctua uln, which is extremely quiet running at 400rpm. In case you can't get hold of it yet, you could just use the one which is included with the CPU until hr-02 is in store. Also, I would buy one harddrive at 1GB instead of two at 500GB. Harddrives these days are so fast anyway, that you probably don't need to run RAID or anything for multitracking. (Even the slowest HD should be more than fast enough.) In your setup, the harddrive is also likely to make the most noise. (not because the ones you have picked is noisy, quite the contrary, but because the other parts should be quite silent) _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
