Kimo's PC Project
Before
The several month long project begins...
I cut the door out and mounted it with hinges from ace harware and clicky things to hold it shut from home depot
Power and Reset buttons removed from my old Aspire Turbo II case RIP
All of the above is my old setup, everything has been replaced save the sound card and DVD burner
Asus 16X DVD burner
Hiper Power Supply 580W
Huge 120mm CPU fan
Foam to help seal the case and keep noise in
Cardboard backing removed and ready for 3/4" MDF
New custom backboard 3/4" MDF
New Sennheiser wireless cans
Zalman cooler and ram heat sinks
Time for sound dampening!
Finally rigged up a hard drive bracket
-----Two different pictures-----
I was told that sound dampening wouldn't make any difference but now that I have done it, I must disagree. It made a pretty significant difference! The only reason you can hear the pc at all is because the power supply fan is exposed to open air in the back of the desk. That's all you hear really. Which isn't much noise at all.
A big thanks goes out to Rick from RAAMmat® for giving me some leftover RAAMmat sound dampener and ensolite foam to use! Great product! www.raamaudio.com
It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed doing it.
