My current computer is in my signature. It makes a ton of heat, plus has a bunch of fans. I want to build something without a video video card, with as little noise as possible. I won't be gaming, but I might be doing HD video editing in the future, so I'd need a CPU that's more powerful than my current Q6700. I don't need an SSD, but perhaps maybe one of those small SSD's that help with boot times only.
I really don't want to spend a lot, so the cheaper the better. I will also have to buy Windows 8 when that comes out, so that's like a $100 already. I really wish the total cost of the computer to be under $550.
I guess power efficient components are important so that there will be less heat in my room from the computer... this computer is a nightmare at summertime... whole room becomes a sauna. I don't know where to find power efficient components, and really don't feel like taking too much time researching parts, so I'm mere for advice. As silent as possible would be a great treat as well.
I think I'll reuse the power supply I got for my sister... its really quiet, i think the fan is turned off most of the time. And also, I'll take out my currect computer out of raid and use one of the hard drives in this new build. So I don't need a new power supply nor a new harddrive. I'll buy a bigger HD once they get cheaper.
