If you think of silent as being noiseless, then you're crazy. If you get a
noiseless PC, then you're going to just hear the other things more, like,
cars going by, or planes, or these little weird noises that annoy you until
you have to go find out what it is only to find out it is nothing but you
wouldn't have heard it if you had had a normally noise-making PC.


With that logic why not just have an angle grinder bouncing around the
floor - you'd never hear anything else. Problem solved!

Let's put it this way, I didn't know monitors have a noise because my PC has
a black delta 7000RPM fan in there, plus 2 case fans, a PSU fan, lil'
chipset fan, lil' graphics card fan, a hard drive, and a 52x cd-rw drive
that I'm told makes quite a bit of noise since it spins at 12kRPM.

You know I just put on some music, and the PC goes away.


Some people don't want to have to crank up their music to drown out a
droning PC. They also live in houses with double glazing away from
main roads and airports and appreciate the quiet.
