I want this to be silent! That is one of the prime objectives, aside from power of course.<br></blockquote><div><br>If you want silent then you really need to run a separate backend and have the frontend diskless. You'll probably need watercooling to build a silent frontend capable of HD though.<br>
<br>Personally I think completely silent is pointless. Just keep it as quiet as possible: fanless video card, only one drive, quiet powersupply and CPU fan. This is what I've done and the loudest component is the 500GB SATA drive when it's in use. But I can't hear it over the TV so it's fine.<br>
