If you don't mind, can you elaborate on the mouse some more? How long did it take you to get used to it, how is the accuracy for progrmaming/office-type work, have you used another vertical mouse you can compare it to?

  The mouse is fantastic, I swear by it. It took maybe couple hours to adjust and maybe couple days to be absolutely comfortable with the buttons. I ended using AutoHotKey to switch function of "middle" and "right" buttons, but that is just my personal preference). Whenever I am forced to use regular mouse somewhere it feels just wrong for my wrist, so unnatural. The pen is just natural. I wrote with pen all my school... I can only compare with MS Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse which I only tried briefly and didn't like it at all. I will definitely buy again the penclic mouse. It's funny though when I have visitors and they try to do something on my computer.. some people get it more quickly then others, geeks are ok after few minutes, non-geeks usually give up and let me do it :)

For me this is a minimalism dream. I would have a couple of towers of books though. :) PS: The icons are wrongly referenced and not loading on my FF 37.0.1 (http://urza.cc/pc2013/.\Cicons\Cico_silence.png http://urza.cc/pc2013/.\Cicons\Cico_silence.png)

That's pretty cool! I love the idea of completely silent computer, but sadly, I don't think it's compatible with performance or gaming. Though now I wonder if there's GPU that can be turned off completely when not in use and use integrated one. Kinda like Optimus, but for desktop. (also, czc has been cheaper than alza for years)

  My current desktop build is a fast i7[0] with a GTX 970, but I can't hear it at all right now. You can have great performance without fans or with large diameter fans that turn slowly and quietly under normal load. This is especially true with newer, more efficient hardware that draws less power and produces less heat.

    my 4 year old desktop is near silent, I bought the biggest cooler I could and didn't overclock it plus used high quality 120mm fans. Other than dusting it once every few months it's requires no hassle.
    - Encosia 11y ago
      Yeah, a quality CPU cooler with a large fan makes a big difference in noise level. Getting that and the GPU setup right is key.

  External GPUs can't come soon enough... Frankly, most current generation laptops are more than powerful enough for most of the things I do. Adding a GTX 750 TI level GPU would probably be enough to cover the rest of my use cases (light 1080p gaming).

      Haha interesting find. Although I'd prefer something a bit more mainstream. Maybe a USB Type-C based solution?

I love the passive cpu heatsink, it's a true work of art.
