New Computer in PHactotum Land

Finished building a new computer for our house. This one will be placed in the living room so that Trey, Cherie and I can all work on individual computers. This one is mainly built for quite operation, web, email, simple games, but not serious gaming.

I didn't customize this one at all. All the parts are off the shelf. We have a Sharp 15" LCD monitor on its way. Maybe someday I'll build a custom case.

Noise Emissions
PC noise emissions are usually provided in various states of operation such as idle, hard drive accessing and playing a DVD. The fansink on the EPIA M10000 does not alter speed as the CPU loading changes resulting in a consistently low noise level.

Declaired Noise Emissions in accordance with ISO 9296
