Built when Netflix first took away password sharing. Thanks for the heads up Netflix! Would not want to start this project now 😂
Unless there are vents underneath, you might also want to flip that power supply around, so the fan’s on top.
Ever just throw a hot pocket in there for a couple minutes?
I don’t get this setup. First you install a lot of sound proofing, then you install one fan that has to run near light speed to keep that computer cool.
I very much agree with you - I would use more fans on the outside enclosure, possibly behind more barriers so the sound is never direct (it has to bounce off walls before getting out). Eg a vent cover on the outside or simply vents mounted inside the case (not directly on the outside hole).
(Possibly also keeping the positive pressure inside the enclosure for dust control.)However there might be an argument about HDD noise that is fairly particular to the drive models.
Maybe op just doesn’t like noisy HDDs & isn’t that bothered by fans (I centrally am more bothered by enterprise HDD noise than the noise of quality fans), so the solution is HDD-noise oriented (and I think it works in that regard).(And yes, I do pick my HDDs by noise too.)
I think even just installing an intake would do wonders for this setup. A hole cut with a filter would be good, an additional fan directing air at the bottom would be even better. I’m assuming this PC case has some kind of intake / exhaust. Right now it’s prob just recirculating its own air. That single fan on the prob isn’t doing that much.
I hate the sound of Disk Drives spinning up and clicking
Bruh your gonna need a blower so loud it totally obliterates that sound protection.
Had to check if this was the memes category.
Very cool, I have a similar set up and I can advice you that it will overheat if you close that cabinet
Oi. I had mine in my hall closet, looks a lot like yours, including the Noctua cooler and stack of hard drives. In spite of adding a vent to the top of the closet door, and a big gap at the floor it still got too hot. I ended up moving it to the spare bedroom.
