Or as close as I can get.
I'm getting a pretty nice wad of money soon, and I want this rig to be my media PC. I might even sell my secondary PC once I get this one up.
Here's the basics:
- NO FANS. That means I'll prolly have to go with a Via board/CPU.
- Making the hard drive stfu. I'm thinking several layers of silicone right here, any better suggestions?
- The quietest DVD drive around. What is it? Or should I go the hard way and use Alcohol120 to mount all my dvds?

Please remember that I just thought of this right now and wrote it down do I wouldn't forget. This is prolly gonna be my only project for a while, because I've stopped caring about fast hardware for some reason.

Sooo, my questions:
1. Are there any mobos that have 2 expansion slots (1agp, 1pci or 2pci - one for video, one for sound. Or is the IGP on these board half decent?) AND can be 100% passively cooled?
2. What is thw quietest hard drive and how do I make it even quiter?
3. What is the quietest CD drive/how do I skip it all together?
4. Is it possible to cool a PSU to the level where it doesnt need a fan?
5. What should I put this into?
