I'm on a mission to quiet my PC.
So far, I have an ALpha 8045 Heatsink with a Pannaflo fan
and PP & C Silencers for case fans.
The only thing I can hear now is my hard drives.
40GIG Qunatum [Maxtor] (7200rpm)
30GIG MAxtor (7200rpm)
The high pitched sound of the spinning drives really stands out now.
I've seen the Silent Drive device, but heard it overheats your harddrives.
So, I guess I'm gonna replace my drives with quieter ones.
I assume I'm gonna have to step down to 5400rpm drives, but not sure.
Does anyone know what the quietest harddrives are that still have good performance?
