"It's easy enough to make a fast computer: take an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe, add an AMD Athlon FX-55 processor, 4 gigabytes of high performance OCZ ram, and two PCI-express 6800 Ultra video cards, and you have a system that should stay above the minimum system requirements on games for years to come. It's an easy-to-follow formula. The results are always the same, and the only problem is money. It's easy enough to make a fast computer...what's not easy is making a PC like that quiet! It can be especially difficult since the components tend to run hot. The key is finding the right balance between performance, optimal cooling, and quiet. This article will show how you can have a system that roars with power but not noise."
