I'm considering purchasing a new system, since my dell is not going to run HL2 all that well (ok, it wont run it at anything over 10fps if im lucky).
So, I have come up with a few components, and found some nice cases, but I am worried about the noise all the fans are going to make. I was figuring 8 fans + whatever my power supply comes with to give full airflow, but I think it might make a huge amount of noise.
So here is the question:
If i want no fans in my system (except the 1 on PSU), how much will it cost me, and how hard to install? I dont want to spend more than $150 on the cooling alone. Is this possible? I plan to overclock as far as I can, so its important that the temp stays below say.... 40-55C (under load).
Please suggest products that are readily availible in Canada, or from dealers that will ship here. The price range I gave was in USD.
Thanks to all who reply
