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:

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

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
