In the process of building a fairly quiet/hidden desktop

[ewitte]

Somehow in the design of my water cooling system I though about putting all my PC components in a nightstand I currently have my printer on. I'm thinking of setting it up like this

Printer (top level)
CDROM (top or somehow mounted on the side).


I'm using a bunch of ~ 1600RPM 120mm fans. The drawer is pretty solid wood. That should help dampen the sound a little. It should be less than 30db anyway. Add to that being another 4 or so feet from me.

The following items in the drawer.

Motherboard

2x120mm ~ 40CFM Fans directly behind the MB (located where the 6800GT gets the best air flow). (out)

Bonneville heater core. To the right of the MB. 2x120mm ~ 40CFM fans attached to the heater core.

2x120mm ~ 40CFM behind the heater core (out)
2x120mm ~ 40CFM fans pulling air in from the bottom front of the drawer (in)

hard drives in drawer next to MB.

Reservoir

Bottom Level

PSU, water pump, router, cable modem

Possibly I will raise the reservoir 4-5 inches in the drawer and put the water pump in there too. Creating a very short length water loop. This whole thing clears a whole mess of cables on the floor under my feet and will make it a lot quieter/cooler. It might make my whole watercooling setup cost about $250 but I'll be able to sell my antec P160
