This is just a stub for the AFD Silent PC Review. Removing the two self promoting links from this "article" would remove all the content. HackJandy 13:32, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Neutral, the websites are probably non-notable, but the trend toward low-noise, low-wattage computing should have some coverage. Maybe redirect to Mini-ITX? Crotalus horridus 15:23, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Mergeto Home theater PC. http://www.silent.se/ might not be selling anything, it might be non-commercial. Nonetheless, I don't know that the writeup has much beyond what's at HTPC#Noise. --Interiot 17:51, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]- Neutral due to cleanup. I think the topic should be covered on its own somewhere on wikipedia, but it'd be nice to see the article expanded. --Interiot 22:55, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I think this could be an interesting article, even if I'm not sure about the name. I rewrote it a bit (when logged out by mistake). Bergsten 18:53, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: don't redirect to Home theater PC, because that's by no means the only reason people want very quiet computers; similarly, don't redirect to Mini-ITX, because there isn't any particular correlation between quiet PCs and small form factor PCs. I'm not sure whether there is a good place to merge this at all; if there really isn't, it should probably be kept and expanded to discuss the general trend towards low-noise computing. (Which is a religion for some people. Some of the noise-damping case mods out there are a sight to behold. But none of the ones I've seen have been mini-ITX, nor have I ever seen one used in a home theatre system, so...) — Haeleth Talk 22:22, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually I use a modified Mini-ITX as a low noise client. But I fully agree that it's a bad place to redirect to. Bergsten 22:49, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Rename to Quiet PC or Low-noise computer or some such, keep, and expand. I added a few bits based on my experience (my web server lives under the stairs and is in an AcoustiCase C6607B - it is not quite silent (three IBM 15k SCSI drives see to that!) but pretty quiet, and the reduced noise levels over the old HP server certainly make a difference. - Just zis Guy, you know?
