[QUOTE="etheesdad, post: 486188, member: 84335"] I guess when people build HTPC's generally the thing they try to is to reduce [I]heat[/I] so that lower rpm fans can be used. The objective usually being that the machine is as quiet as possible so that you're not hearing it hum during quiet parts of a movie or tv show. A decent case will take care of a limited amount of sound dampening but ultimately your choice of components and how you cool them will determine how noisy the box is. [/QUOTE]
