Better hard drives, and better cooling. You can get quieter fans to kill most of the noise

Silent Fans, Cost a few quid each, but reduse the sound, or if you want to go further then you can also get a Sound Proofing matefial for you PC, its like foam and you just line the inside of your case with it and it should reduce sound further

Try This Link, They have everythink from Silent Fans, Coolers, PSU's, Graphics Cards to Soundprofing Kits for PC's

I've got a "silent" power supply. It's the noisiest thing in the case.


I fail at life. No, really.

haha, I got a zalman silent psu and it truly is. In fact, I needed an exhaust fan because the psu fan barely has to move. I love it.

That's why I only buy zalman stuff when I want silent.

Silenx is a good brand too


Hurray for teh logd!

If you want your current PC parts quieter clean the dust out of the heatsinks. Fans run faster if there is cooling issue.

Best no-noise parts in my opinion

PSU: Zen Fanless, NorthQ Pacific, Silverstone Nightjar
Graphics Card: Gigabyte 8600GTS Silent Pipe or PowerColor HD3870 Fanless
CPU: Intel Q9300 Quad or other 45nm Duo
CPU Cooler: Scythe Ninja Plus rev B (cools my Q9300 fanless although came with one)
Hard Drives: Western Digital RE2 or Samsung Spinpoint
Case: Any big tower case with a hole in the top to let the air flow out like a chimney.
If you're gona use fans buy them big 120mm+

Mostly what I used although I've got to find a few quid more for a fanless PSU and make some holes in the top of the case
