I bought long leads for my peripherals and keep my PC in a cupboard on the other side of the room, behind me. I also bought good fans (Noctua) and I seriously can't hear my PC at all when it's on. The loudest component is now the electrical whine from an LED on my monitor. When you've got kids and they go to bed it really pays to drive that noise floor down, it means you can use the PC for games at low volume or, if you're just browsing the web, you get deep silence which is just the thing after a busy day. :) -- -Toby Add the word afiduluminag to the subject to circumvent my email filters.
