I built a custom case with a rotated motherboard like this, with a huge furnace filter on the intake and 8 fans (well in excess of what's needed for cooling) to clean my room air.

- solstice 7y agoPics please
- CarVac 7y agoVery old photos; I've replaced all the hardware you see except the SSD, wi-fi card, and the power supply. https://imgur.com/a/u1Ti7 https://imgur.com/a/u1Ti7
- solstice 7y agoVery cool, thank you! How's the noise after you switched the fans?
- CarVac 7y agoI switched first to Gentle Typhoons, then the new Noctua NF-A12×25. The cheap-o original fans were quiet at low speed but hardly moved any air, and at high speed they made tons of wind noise; I think the airfoils were stalling or something. The Gentle Typhoons were reasonably wind-noise quiet even at high speed, but made a high-pitched hissing from the bearings at all speeds, and a groaning rumble from the motors at low speed. The Noctuas are much quieter at 1000 rpm, almost inaudible relative to the 4 hard drives, and make fairly innocuous white noise at high speed.
