[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 928926, member: 76888"] Looks like overkill for PVR you only need to spend half that or less To make existing system quieter the easiest methods involve making the fans quieter - buy fan controller - run fans of motherboard headers and use speed fan - buy inline fan resister cables (about $2 for 5 on dx.com) - replace with slower rpm quieter fans - bios settings for controlling cpu fan - using speedfan to slow down the cpu fan There is no easy way to make a PSU quieter For a PVR I would get a cheaper CPU and get a 128GB SSD + 3TB HD Green HDD I'd recommend if you do buy the above system, you just grab the little resister cables from dx.com and you can chuck a couple onto the fans if you find it noisy. Don't bother putting a resister on the cpu fan, as that is always software controllable. [/QUOTE]
