Hi I’ve been shopping at scan for over 8 years now and am very happy with the service,
I am about to build 4 pcs to replace 4 old Pentium 3 machines and it is hard to find out what is good or not in the PSU and case arena.
All 4 will have core 2 duo CPU’s, but NOT use any dual graphic cards i.e. ati crossfire.
All 4 systems will need to connect to Intel 965 or 975x chipset motherboards like latest gigabyte or asus so will need the correct psu motherboard connector.
As noise reduction is the main factor.
Does anyone know which is the quietest PSU around 480W to use?
I have seen fanless ones but I am not sure if these are good as it would mean fan would switch on and off intermittently, and maybe it would be best to get one that has fan running constantly at low rpm and quiet?
I would also like to know recommended midi tower cases (last system used scan Clio) to use which has very quiet cooling fan(s) installed or quietest replacement ones which can be purchased separately.
Thanks in advance
