bubblegoose's Journal: Story submission - Quiet please

I have had some good luck submitting stories to the main page. Out of 34 submissions, 3 have been accepted. There are two more accepted prior to that I think they were removed from my history in a /. database crash prior to August 2001.

I found this article on quieting your PC and I've determined to do something about my noisy home desktop. I'm gonna order some fans and a new heatsink this week then I found this article. I have to check the case when I get home tonight before I order.

Here is what I submitted.

Information Week has a very informative article on cooling your PC quietly. Some interesting points of this article are that two fans can be quieter than one, bigger fans are better, and that most BIOS features to cut noise have sound tradeoffs of their own. There's some free tools listed in the article to monitor your sytem temperatures as well. The article is in two parts, part 1 and part 2.

Update: Wow, that was quick. Rejected within about 5 minutes.
