then you could put anything in a vacum, and also u will need to keep the vaccum.

also you need to run the wires out of the wires, and also keep it cool, and noise may be transmitted via the wires

put it on really long wire and let it float round space. or i'm sure you could create a low pressure box with perspex and silicon gel and wouldnt need the hoover on all the time

Did you know the heads of the hard discs need air to float above the platters?
Current hard disks can't work in a vacuum.

Yes but this is one for someone who wants NO noise, not noise being killed.

atiVidia,

I think most people responding to this thread all use different definitions for "silent" en "Almost silent".

A completely silent rig, to me means:
Have the rig running in a anechoic chamber, take a sound level reading @ 2 ft.
Switch off the the rig, take a second sound level reading @ 2 ft distance.
When there is no difference, either by measurement or by human ear, I would declare to be silent.

I call my current rig almost silent.
At night, with the rig running, when all kinds of domestic apparatus are switched off, and when my ears are used to the silence, I can't hear a difference at 8 ft distance when I switch the machine off.

By day, in normal circumstances, it is difficult to tell if the rig is running sitting at the concole.

The someone who wants "no noise", does he mean " I doen't want to be disturbed by the sound ", or does he mean " I don't want to be able to tell (blindfolded) if the rig is running, even when I am on my knees, my head next to the case."

There IS a difference.
The last definition is a "Holy Grail", and only a few people have found it.

i wasnt talking about the actual pc in a vacuum, i mean in panels built like double glazed windows
