And is there any reason why the power supply has to be in the computer? whats to stop me taking it out, putting it in another room and running post transformer wires to my computer, is there a product to facilitate this? I have a special silent fan power supply but its still too noisey.
With just 1 big swing, your computer will be more silent than ever!
Sorry, not enough sleep I guess..
Most of the time, harddrives make a LOT of noise.
You should look for quiet harddrives, if it's then still noisy, try
different power-supplies like you said...
Why don't you put the whole computer in another room, instead of just the PSU?
You'd just have to buy extension cables for your screen/mouse/keyboard/etc. With an external CD drive, things should be completely transparent. You could even build a home-made extension for the power button.
