(Almost) fanless noise free cool computer

[Dogbert]

Very simple to do:

a. Thermally isolate your computer case leaving the external drive bays open (unisolated).
This means removing all case fans and using foam or any other isolation all around the case.

b. Buy a large (not too large) block of 'dry ice' (CarbonBiOxide)

c. Put it inside your case, and repeat every day.

Cons:

1. Logistics: You have to find a place that sells dry ice
2. $$$: You have to buy a block of it every day.
3. Annoyance: You have to open your case and insert a block every day.
4. Ventilation: your room has to be well ventilated cause your case will become a CO2 factory

Pros:
1. Your case's ambiant temerature will be around -4 degrees celsius
2. It's silent !
3. No problem of water condensing inside your case because this 'ice' is made of gas (CO2) so as it 'melts' it releases gas out of your case, thus sealing it to outside air

Hey, I'm the 'Village Idiot', you can trust me !

P.S.: Hail, my King!

It's already inside my computer.
Noise level went down just a little, and I've figured why:

1. My case is very well built (Chieftek / Enermax 710B) so it generates no noise whatsoever from cd/dvd vibration or whatsoever

2. Most noise comes from the back of the computer where I have 3 fans (2 case fans + 1 enermax ps fan) which are quite silent but still allow the ThermakTake cpu fan noise come out.

The good thing is that almost no noise is coming from the front of the case.

I'd recommend the Magic Fleece to anyone with a less than perfect case. For me it changed just a little.
