Hi i need some advice. I wanna do something to my computer to stop the sound of a large airconditioning unit!! I was thinking getting the Arctic Cooling T1 Silentium Silent Midi Tower Case - 350W Seasonic Silent PSU (CA-000-AR).

Would what i have fit in here, would it be much quieter, anything else i should consider?

I currently has this spec,
Processor - AMD Athlon 64 3400+ Processor
Operating System - Microsoft® Windows XP Home
Memory – 1gb Geil Value RAM
Hard Disk - 200GB 7200 RPM ATA-100 Drive
Optical 1 - Double Layer 16x Multiformat (+/-) DVD-Rewiter Drive
Graphics – geforce 6800 LE leadtech
Sound – Audigy 2
Us robotics wireless card
Ports etc. - USB2.0 Ports x4, Parallel & Standard Ports
Case - Full ATX Tower Case with Upgrade Capacity (7 Drive Bays)
Motherboard - Microstar MS6741 Micro ATX Motherboard

Thanks for any help

Cheers for that, i just opened my case up firstly i noticed all the dust *cough* I stoped the case fans and the cpu one and the noise didnt go down, it just seems to be the cpu that is making the main racket!! I reckon a new one will help, is the Seasonic 430 a good silent one to go for? Ive seen it for £41

LOL, haha well i was nearly right, just two letters out!! Thanks

. Well i like the Seasonic name, just better be silent

oh and just another question, are all PSU's the same size, may the seasonic be bigger than the PSU I already have?

Oh and i dunno why, i just wanna have a Seasonic, it says ultimate silence and quality on the ocuk psu page
