I forgot to mention that whenever I read/burn a CD, it literally sounds like theres somebody inside the case chainsawing a tree or something!! :P
 
mine's not too bad. can hear the fans, but it's not loud enough to be annoying...well, maybe it is just a little annoying when it's real quiet in here. ok, now that i'm paying attention to it, it's starting to bug the hell out of me....ok, now i'm ready to throw this loud pos out the window!
 
"I can hear it, but it's not annoying"
this is at idle..but when it "revs up" it sounds like a pensil sharpener, vibrates my whole desk, and i have found if you kick it, it wont be quite as loud during the "rev-up"
 
mine only gets the fans going if it does something really intensive on its integrated graphics and the pentium 4 @ 3ghz
 
Well after further tweaking, my computer is no longer audible from 4 feet away unless it is absolutely silent in my basement.

1) I have a 120mm PWM fan on the top, a 120mm Tricool Fan on the back
2) My hard drive is now suspended between elastics in the top 5.25" bay
3) I removed the front and bottom 120mm fans
4) I tuned my CPU cooler down to 1200 rpm

I now idle at about 37º and max at about 55º while intense gaming.

:D
 
I have a 250cm fan on the side panel, as well as dual 120mm fans (exhaust + intake) and my computer is dead silent :)

I use dual fanmate2's to control the 120mm fans, and a built-in pot controls the 250cm.. I have the 120mm fans around 30% right now, and the 250cm at 50%. My PC idles around 27c - 29c.

I'd like to see a picture of that! :P

I have;

Tuniq Tower 120mm - Full
250mm top exhaust - Max
120mm front intake - Med
120mm front intake - Med
120mm rear exhuast - Med
 
I only have:

120mm side intake - Med
120mm rear exhaust - Med
92mm Rosewill CPU Cooler - Med

thinking on getting a 120mm front intake :rolleyes:
 
Mine is fairly loud because of all the fans on high b/c of a stock hp case being so tight. I have 1 cpu fan, 2 psu fans, 1 gpu fan, and 2 case fans (1 sucking air in the side and 1 pushing air out through the back). The case fans are led antec's. Plus there is a built in fan in my stereo that is connected to my pc. But, the 460watts powers over the sound of my pc.
