Hey, GutterPunk. This PC, IMO, is relatively quiet when using fan SpeedFan to automatically control the fan speeds. It's not like, "Oh, my god, I can't even hear anything!", but it gets close.
Just to give you an idea of how quiet it is, here are the noise ratings for the fans:
The two Zalman fans are each rated at 20dBa when running on their "Silent Mode" (5v) vs 33dBa when running on their "Normal Mode" (12v). I'm running them on "Silent Mode".
The CPU cooling fan and the rear exhaust fan are both rated at 30dBa each, but I run them at about 50% all the time, so they're really quiet.
As for the PSU fan, I haven't a clue. I just got a new PSU in for this modded with a bigger fan.
Anyways, as I'm sitting here about 2 feet away from my computer, I really don't hear anything except a low whisper of the fans.

I highly doubt anyone will even see this today, but if anyone wants to buy this computer, I'll lower the price to $450.00 just for Christmas Day.

this is going off the market... i'm probably buying a new video card for it, so this should be useful for me for a while, anyways.
thanks for all the views! maybe this will go back on in a while.
