Haha, nice setup. But surely you don't have a use for all of it? I mean fair enough Samsung TV for TV/PS3/Xbox360. And I'd understand having the 3007WFP + 2005WFP but having a third monitor (allbeit a 2407WFP!) and then 3 laptops?

Updated main computer :D

RAM: Super Talent Project X DDR3-1800 2x1GB

Mobo: Asus P5E3-Deluxe/WiFi-AP

Thermaltake DuOrb undervolted (For the silence :D ) on Asus 8800GTS. Also, new fan on my Scythe Infinity heatsink -- didn't like the stock 120mm fan, so I got a Noctua NF-P12 high pressure fan designed for heatsinks. Back is a Noctua NF-S12-1200 mobo controlled @ 900rpm, front fan (not shown) is a Noctua NF-S12-800. All for the silence (Y)

What kind of temps on your CPU? I think that is the heatsink I may end up with soon.

41*c idle (Core) 1.3750V, E6600 @ 3.44. Load 59*c (Core). Surface is around 10*c lower.

I've set the fan on silent mode (As all the fans in my computer that's controlled by the motherboard), and my airflow sucks in my case due to slow case fans so you will see high temperatures. All fans besides the CPU operates at 800-900rpm besides the CPU fan at 1000rpm (The NF-P12). The 8800GTS with low rpm fans on the DuOrb is not any help either :p You should get something in the low 30s for core for a similar config if you have fans that draws for air or runs faster (Y) (I do a lot to make my computer quiet lol)

Thats one clean machine, cables and wires all tucked neatly away. Love It.

Yea right now mine is at ~45C with the stock heatsink/fan and folding@home on 24/7 (overclocked a little bit). I have pretty good airflow in my case but I am looking to lower my temps a little more (yea I could set my cpu back down to stock but what fun is that). I've seen quite a few people with the scythe.

If you really want silence then you should ditch the Thermaltake stuff. Also I'm guessing the hard drive is now the loudest part of your system, so you might want to use some sort of vibration reducing mount for it (ex. SilenX Luxurae HDSS).

Nice man, as always! (Y)

Btw, I see you are one of the very few with only ONE hard drive...

Yep, thanks guys :)

I have one hard drive, because more hard drives = more noise :p I have a NAS in my basement, connected centrally via my central home network (Gigabit) so I am not too worried about that.

Not necessarily. The hard drive is the loudest part of the system, but personally I find vibration reducing mounts almost useless. Enclosures are what I find more useful.

I have an Antec P182 with my other comp, passively cooled graphics, undervolted Asus Silent Knight II, and although the case does make a difference in sound isolation, I'd still keep my case window with my Thermaltake Aguila. The system is not loud enough to justify for that, and if I am going to change, I am going to look at Lian Li with the same set of case fans.

I know how to silence my computer. :p

Anyways, here's a pic of my other computer:

computerbelievewiringas5.jpg

That's the system I built with a few extra parts I have laying around, besides the CPU which I purchased for the completion of this computer.

Based off the Antec P182. Sorry for the bad photo quality, it's late at night haha.

Anyways, the changes I made since last upgrade was the Tagan ITZ 700W to PC Power & Cooling 610W Silencer. The Tagan was too loud for my likings, and much to my surprise after giving the PCP&C I got yesterday it's actually very quiet (Almost as good as Seasonic PSUs) so I popped it in and rewired the system.

The heatsink's also changed to Asus Silent Knight II, motherboard controlled (PWM), which is also very quiet. The loudest thing in this system now is the stock Antec case fans, and the hard drive.

Rest of the specs:

- Intel Pentium Dual Core E2140 (Allendale) @ 3.08GHz

----- Asus Silent Knight II, Arctic Cooling MX-2 paste

- Asus P5K3-Deluxe/WiFi-AP

- OCZ Platinum PC3-12800 Enhanced Bandwidth 2x1GB

- Asus Radeon X1950 Pro, modded: Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 [Passive]

- Asus Xonar D2 Sound Card

    • Does anyone here know if these updates are integrated into the UUP dump isos?
    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
