Among the things Santa delivered to me for Christmas was a quiet power supply and a K7N2 Delta2 Motherboard. Both vital components for the new, faster ELECTRON media machine. My old Asus A7V board was maxed out and could only run at 4x AGP, 133Mhz FSB and limited my Athlon XP2500+ processor to 1666Mhz. Despite the choice Mhz number, it wasn't fast enough. Especially after seeing Steve's MCE machine equipped with an XP2500+ at full speed. The new configuration is definately much faster and quieter. I have a few more silencing upgrades left before I'm done. One neat thing about this motherboard is when it goes into suspend the whole computer shuts down. Fans, hard drive, everything. Once MCE signals a wakeup it all starts up again and records whatever show is scheduled. Definately a good feature when you're cheap on electricity like myself.

Your miniscule 2500+ is wussy compared to the 3200+ in the Leisure Suit Larry gaming machine! I installed four new high-output fans to increase the noise in the office by a magnitude of 10!

Your no match for my CAK486 Global Win Fan with a Max Air Delivery of 68.1 CFMs and not to mention a horrible headache from the annoying sound drone with a 52.5 DBA sound level!!! oooo scary!

I think everyone needs a Proliant 6000 sitting in their computer room to fully understand "noise".
