Operation Quiet PC:

If you want a quiet PC, get some earplugs...that’s what I say. EnvyNews thinks differently and actually spent a little cash on trying to silence their PC. Does it work? Or should you stick to your $0.50 earplugs? Find out here:

Well, what can I say other than what has already been said. Using a combination of a high-quality PSU, fans and enclosures can make your PC quiet enough to keep even the lightest of sleepers from loosing their beauty sleep, there's no question about it there. My whole system using just the components listed here the dB level of my mediocre PC in a standard Midi-tower ATX case dropped from a bearable 62dB to a soothing 45dB. Just 5dB above ambient in my living room.

Command & Conquer Fun:

What makes Command & Conquer: Generals so fun? I’m not really sure, but Gary Webb seems to think he knows what it is. Look:

UV Fan Adapters:

These are really pretty cool, UV Fan adapters. We’re not talking a performance item here, or anything else, just a pretty inexpensive “wow” gadget for the mod market or people that dress up their computers.

Overall these UV adapters are just darn cool looking. If you have a heatsink that only takes 60mm fans this is a great way to add some extra air flow, possibly a more quiet fan, and at the same time add some styling to your case. It would be very easy to mix and match these fans and adapters to create some really smooth looking color schemes.
