Looks very swish

[shadowcreaper]

^^ nice, what the specs on that thing, also what case you using hard to see from pics

[V|per]

Good point th ere, very hastily posted =)

The case is a lian li v350b

Spec's aren't awesome, but it's pretty good for a sff...:

e7200
8GB G.skill pc8000
seagate 7200.11 (32MB cache)
Asus p5e-vm hdmi
8800gts 512 (G92)
Corsair HX520w

Cooled by:

ddc ultra with alphacool top (fillport directly into the top port, my finest creation me thinks =)
ek g92 full cover block
magicool 120.2 rad (will have 2 nanoxia fans on it, stock lian li ones for now)
ek supreme cpu block
ek nb/sb 5 for the NB
Will have a TR hr-05 sli on the southbridge, although, it's pretty cool atm...)
Scythe kaze mini fan controller


It got itself published on bit tech earlier this year for being one of the best mod at i34 =D - that really made my day =)

Love that, looks great.

Any chance of a few more pics of the inside with all the parts in place? And also a couple of the outside from a bit further away?

Does any one have a truely silent rig? ? ? I have tried with water cooling but starting to think its impossible. I would love to see a tidy, and silent rig. I mean silent. As in silent room nothing can be heard.

[Emirzan]

Total silence is impossible. You'd have to use no moving parts anywhere or vibrations would occur. Relative inaudibility in a standard quiet room is however achievable. I'm working on one at the moment with decent low speed fans and suspended hard disk drives.

Check out SPCR's General Gallery forum for some pictures and explanations of quiet rigs.

I can't hear mine over ambient noise from outside etc unless I'm giving the processor some welly, and that's just a stock intel cooler and Antec PSU

My P182 rig is as close as I have come. With better fans it would be so close it wouldn't matter to me. No HSF noise, no graphics noise (both passive),no HDD noise, PSU too minimal to notice (corsair HX). Just the tri-cools.

[Emirzan]

Sounds more like it staffsMike. No offence meant Howard, but that doesn't sound like a system that would actually be quiet.

The P182 is a dream for cable management and I love the sectioning ideas and the general layout, shame I can't really afford one at the moment. As for fans I found the tri-cools to be a little loud for my liking, I'm using Scythe kaze jyuni SY1225SL12M fans (scan doesn't have them but can be found easily in other places such as here) which are the best I've ever found especially on rubber fan mounts. Which I hate installing but they are worth it in a very quiet system.

[TAKTAK]

<<< my system

is pretty much silent when it's not under full load (which it is most of the time due to folding...)

and when it is under full load its about as loud as someone softly breathing (but that is in a very thin aluminium case, so if it have soundproofing etc, then it would be even quieter...)

(the loudest thing is probably my GFX card as it is @ a constant 72c with fan @ 80&#37;, but i should be upgrading soon enough)

None taken It's not totally silent no, but IMHO it's not worth spending hundreds on a watercooling system to make it that little bit quieter

[richieuk]

Mine is TOTALLY silent...

thats because most of the bits are still at SCAN

Anyway to make an aircooled chassis look that cool?

P:S: Update on my build, I might be picking up a second hand thermaltake armour case instead of Antec300. ^_^ Woot

[Shooty*]

Wow, geek philosophy! "If a computer is totally silent, and no one is playing crysis on it, would anyone notice?"

The sound of one write head clapping...

There's nothing more annoying than trying to watch a film on your computer in a dark room and u have bloody neon lights and loud noises and vibrations. The P182 is real good i would say. Only thing is there is a fine line between silence and cooling. Depends on what you want ur rig to achieve. Wicked set up above, love the look of that at night.

She's not finished yet, got a bunch or uv perspex going in her at some point, but, so far, so good:

Lookin good Viper, very clean work.

That's insane.
