New HTPC Build

Here's the new HTPC I just built. I was shocked at how quiet it was. The first time I hit the power button I thought I had messed up.

Some of the build:

Antec NSK2480 Case
Intel E5200 Wolfdale
Scythe Ninja Mini CPU Cooler
Scythe Case fans
4GB Corsair dual channel memory
Gigabyte Geforce 9400 HDMI mobo

how are the peformance of your cpu cooler? i wanna buy the same. does it his job verry good?

[KeefTM]

The CPU cooler works great. I get about 36 C on average, and as you can hear, no sound penalty.

Do you think it willl be possible to add Thermalright HR-05 IFX cooler to this setup or will it interfere with the ninja

[KeefTM]

I'm going to have to look into that, but replacing the stock chipset cooler is a must. That thing gets so hot. I haven't found the best solution yet.

You can hear my baby in the background for reference.

That's way to loud.

Sounds like crying baby almost.
