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

    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
