Update, I replaced the noisy 12gig harddrive with a silent Seagate IV 60gig and placed it in a rubber suspension, i packed the case with sound absorbtion pads. I made the same partitions on the new harddrive, and the new harddrive have a aditional partition aswell.
the PC generates NO NOISE , the only noise in my bedroom/computer room is my bathroom ventilation, and i never noticed that before now :blink: But that is removed when i shut the door to the bathroom. here is a inside pic: http://www.uglevang.dk/modpics/DSC00633.JPG i was thinking that there might be heat build up inside, but the 1 fan in the PSU is good enough. CPU is 28degrees idle, and 40degrees at max load. First Post: I made a old computer, a pentium 133Mhz, here is the link for specs ect. http://www.abandonia.com/forum/index.php?s...petter1979&st=0 I have upgrade the computer a bit, and make it easier to get the old games down on its harddrive. Now the specs are: -Celeron 366Mhz 2.0Volt Vcore @ 366Mhz 1.392Volt Vcore, cooled by a modded artic cooling copper silent heatsink with no fan on it. modded heatsink -Abit BM6 Motherboard. -128MB SD-Ram -Network Card PCI 100Mbit -Trident 9680 2MB gfx ram. -Creative Labs Sound Blaster AWE 64 Value ISA. -52x Asus CD-Rom. -Floppy Drive. -Replaced fan in PSU, with a 15db fan, running at 7Volt. Its inaudible. -Old 12Gig harddrive(going to be replaced with a newer quiet one at some time, since this is the only noise source in the pc now) All of the hardware is now in a old atx case i have, but i dont have a pic of that yet, but i have a pic of when i had most of the hardware scattered on my dining table: hardware I use the boot disk i made for my other computer and it works without a hitch on this new build. I have partitioned the harddrive up into 2 primary partitions. 1st. C: partition (WINXP) 10gig for Windows XP, NTFS formatted. 2nd. D: partition (OLDGAMES) 2gig for dos games, FAT32 formatted. So if i want to run Windows XP i just dont insert bootdisk, and if i want to run dos i insert the bootdisk. With WinXP i can get on the internet and download old games. When i boot up on my bootdisk, the old dos files wont see the 1st. XP partition, only the 2nd partition, and the 2nd partition will get C: as a drive label. so my drives would be in dos: Floppy A: 2nd partition C: CDROM D: |
