SG05/06 - Noise

[Scottland]

Hi,

I'm deliberating on a new SFF system - stuck on the case but I keep coming back to the SG05/6.

What sort of noise comes out of the PSU? Noise is more important to me than size, so if it's pretty noise I might forego ITX and try to get a quieter mATX system.

The rest of the system will be comprised of an i3 2100 and either onboard or passive gfx (5570).

Get a Lian-li PC-Q07 or Q11 and a fanless PSU.

Plonk a decent low profile air cooler on the board like this, this or this.

Fan from air cooler also cools PSU no other fans required = super quiet SFF PC.

Cheers, although I've already rules out the PC07/11 as they're not as compact as the SG05/6 and would probably look at mATX that being the case (no pun intended )

I can *just* hear it from 8 feet away when sat on my sofa when there's no other noise, but imo the front case fan is louder than the PSU fan so I'd worry about that first.

Thanks. What about under load, or when warm etc? The front fan I'm not too worried about as I can always mess with it - don't really want to have to buy a new PSU though if it's too noisey

Thanks for the responses guys, I (somewhat luckily) managed to pickup an SG05 in the FS forum last night
