I've never been happy with the noise made by my backend<br>
I bought a silent CPU fan, a so called silent case (Antec Sonata<br>
III).. But with 7 hard drives, it's never been perfectly silent and<br>
always annoyed me to the point that I put it outside the cinema room ,<br>
in an adjacent room, wiring everything so it would drive the projector<br>
...<br>
So I was hoping to maybe try again having the backend in the cinema<br>
room, this time in a really silent case.. and by silent I mean silent.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>What components are causing the noise? You implied it might be the drives - if so then a new case probably won't help much. You might have try to reduce the number of drives somehow.<br><br>My solution for this sort of problem was to put a most of the drives into a fileserver and put that into the garage.<br>
