[QUOTE="knutinh, post: 110118, member: 14776"] You could also consider suspending the drive. [url]http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8240[/url] Fine, although regular Core2s are quite nice when it comes to heat as well - you could undervolt or use speedstep with one of those as well. If you are using the MCubed case, then you will be getting heatpipes that connect GPU, CPU, chipset to the solid case cooler ribs. There is no point in getting passive components. I would never touch anything Creative, especially for a non-gaming PC. Analog or digital? The mCubed case has a top-mounted fan that will kick in if temperatures are critical.
