[quote author="chriss"]@outoftune: I also spent a lot of time and money to have my computer quiet. Last week I bought a 10 meters USB-repeater-cable, a USB-Hub and two 10 meter DVI-cables. And the computer went in the "machine room" next to the mixer-supplies, the monitor amps and other things I don't want to see or hear in the control room. And this is by far the best solution for a quiet computer :wink: I strongly recommend this way if ever possible, it makes so much difference even in concentration during work.

yeah that is the most silent way! i don't run too many intense daw sessions so i am able to get away with having a fanless heatsink (scythe ninja) and a couple nexus fans running on low voltages, quiet enough for me for now.
