[linux-dvb] Re: quiet PC

["Robert Schneider" <Robert.Schneider@de.ibm.com>]

I'm running a 300 Watt power supply with my VDR box without a fan for 
almost a year now. I'm not a physician, I just thought if I have a 300 
Watts power supply and my machine has low CPU, little memory, no CD-ROM, 
no floppy, Harddisk most of the day of, why would I have to cool it.

So I removed the fan and monitored the heat for weeks and it's not getting 
warmer thand "handwarm". I have to say though, I run the power supply 
outside the box and the area with passive cooling (like slots to let air 
through) is really good with this particular supply.

Hint: if possible for you, look to the last issue of the
german computer magazin "c't, No. 17". Artikle "Der leise PC" (The silent
PC).
You can found some urls at the bottom of this page:

I am also working on this.
Many thanks to Martin Hammerschmid for his software awaking a pc from lan.
I try this as soon as possible.
Because I have a Pentium166 running as a file server (linux suse64) in the
cellar
and installed 100Mbit Nic's I have now only the fan from cpu and power
supply
as noise sources. I hope to get a passive cooler for the cpu and the last
harddrive
is gone with boot from lan. What I have not seen up to now is a fanless
power
supply (my notebook has one). For cooling of the DVB-s card I have 
installed
a temperature regulated fan (92x92x25 mm) which run very slow.
