Hardware Logic has reviewed the Thermaltake Silent Boost RX K8, a quiet CPU cooler that uses a custom designed 90mm fan that spins at about 2200 RPM. It looks like it performed pretty well, and should be pretty quiet at that speed.Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Tech Neek has a review of what I think is the best CPU cooler in existance right now: The Zalman CNPS9500.
They didn't really do a lot of tests on it - it was just compared to a couple stock coolers, and no sound measurements were taken - but take my word for it; this cooler RULES! It's pretty big though.Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Bit-Tech has a review on D.Vine's D1 Quiet Media Center. This is a prebuilt HTPC system based on the Pentium M platform. So it should be very quiet. Unlike the Shuttle XPC, it uses a standard desktop DVD drive, so it's up to you to make sure it spins at a slow speed during DVD playback.
Still, they seemed to like it, giving it a recommendation, even though that had some problems getting it to output to their TV. Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Silent PC Review has posted their review of the Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe A64-939 Motherboard, which features heatpipe cooling to eliminate those REALLY annoying fans you find on most motherboards. As you'd expect from them, they looked at it from a silent PC approach, and seemed to have mixed feelings for it:
"If you're looking for a SLI 939 board that does everything, and passive cooling is a necessity, this board can certainly deliver. But, if you don't need the all the features and just want a board that is quiet and cool, you'll probably want to keep looking."
