    All you need is an Antec Sonata, Zalman heatsink and some soundproofing and you can make your pc as high spec as you want without sound.

    I used to have a 486 which didn&#39;t need any fans.

    Of course this one beats a 486. Just.

    Take a standard PC and turn it off?
    On a given day or given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
    And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit and you think &quot;Ok, this is the limit&quot;.
    As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.
    With your mind power, your determination, your instinct and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

    lets repeat:

    these are instructions for building a NATURALLY SILENT pc, not one with sound reduction, and NOT one with silent fans and shit. one with NO SOUNDS IN THE FIRST PLACE&#33;&#33;&#33;

    Your question was "Most Silent Comp Ever, how to make it"?

    You didn&#39;t state it had to be turned on at the time. Therefore, my reply is/was a valid contender for the prize (and ultimately the winnner)
    On a given day or given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
    And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit and you think &quot;Ok, this is the limit&quot;.
    As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.
