The Wall Street Journal looks at the “quiet your damn fan” movement, people like Carl Bohne of St. Louis, an auto mechanic whose hobby is building super-stealthy PCs.
“His computers are packed with foam insulation, noise-damping filters and custom-sculpted hunks of copper that divert heat from the microcircuitry so the built-in fans won’t have to work so hard,” writes the WSJ.
Bohne constructs elaborate duct work – made out of anything, including a plastic cookie jar and clothes-dryer exhaust hose – in his PCs to keep them cool and the fans quiet.
