When people talk about noise levels between shuttles, how do they perform
in the noise stakes relative to a "normal" desktop?
For example I'm looking at different shuttles to replace a lian-li PC-60
base unit housing a 350w PSU (q-tech "Low Noise") and a retail P4 2.4ghz -
the intel HSF on this seems very loud.
Noise is a concern, so I was looking at the Zen which seems silent, then
someone suggested as I don't need 800fsb to look at something like a SB51G
which is around £70 cheaper - now I assume this is noiser than the Zen, but
I'm trying to get some idea of the definition of noisy compared to a
regular desktop like I currently have?
The thing's on a desk about 2 feet from where I work.
cheers,
Paul
