| 49932 | 2002-05-21 07:10:00 | Hi, im wanting to shut 2 computers up. I have heard of fanless cooling systems. Are these risky? I want to quiet a Pentium III 450mhz, and an Athlon 900mhz machines and their power supplies. If I cant have a fanless system, what are some recomendations to quiet a PC in terms of the fans Thanks in advance >Karz |

Some add a (slow / var speed) fan in front of the box to draw air in and another in the back to push it out. Rounded cables also help to minimise obstruction to the airflow. |
