smokin In my quest to create a silent computer

i konw that this is probably a rediculous question, but does anyone know how 'quiet' the chieftec matrix case is compared to others in its price range? i am trying to build a computer that you will not be able to even tell is on by the noise it is making. thanks!

smokin

has anyone ever tried putting a quieter fan in the volcano 11? thats what i got now, sounds like it would be cheaper and maybe even quieter than going with a new silent cooler

If you want a quiet machine, run your processor stock with a stock retail heatsink/fan. Intel fans are quieter than AMD's. Use only one case fan, put it in the back as an exhaust fan.
