[QUOTE="mcraenz, post: 237479, member: 54136"] Yeah I expect I'll be running these very quiet fans at 5-7 volts. But most fans will still be noisy even at low voltage. For example for my last HTPC I bought Thermaltake "SilentCat" fans supposed to silent, yeah right even at low speed they are too loud; SPCR won't even review that junk! The fans I'm getting are apparently the quietest and most favoured HTPC fan out there. Overlockeckers and HTPC builder have a [B]very[/B] different opinion on what silent is. Check out [url=http://www.silentpcreview.com/]silentpcreview.com | Everything about Silent / Quiet Computers[/url] For me, working in ICT I'm constantly surrounded by PCs and servers and when I come home I just can't stand the wirring sound any more! Hence my quest to build a silent HTPC :) Most of the time you don't realise how much noise pollution is in the room till you turn everything off and hear the sweet silence! [/QUOTE]
