Just a shot with some notes of what components are/were noisy in my home PC.

Efter att ha gett min far en del tips om hur man sätter upp Winamp tillsammans med Shoutcast, har nu Tyresöradion fått upp en webbradiokanal för er som är intresserade! Själv bor jag inte i Tyresö, men det är kul när små radiokanaler kan nå en bredare publik!
För er som vill starta en egen radiokanal på webben, finns det en bra samling länkar i Winampforumet. Vill man kunna köra flera plugins samtidigt i Winamp, för att t.ex. både strömma ljud till en Shoutcast-server och skriva till MP3/WAV etc, kan man använda “Multiple Output Plugin“.

The old chassis fan was a 8 cm, no-name, noisy s*cker…I mean bl*wer. Replaced it with a 12 cm, dust proof and silent AcoustiFan. It was a bit too big too fit, but with some violence and some straps instead of bolts, it works beautifully! In normal mode, I can’t hear it! But that might be the power supply that drows it. Next thing to rip out of the tower is that power supply. Hopefully, I will get the new one next week!
The PC - about one year old - is a HP Pavillion 1060.se, and I will NEVER buy a PC out of the box from a “major” brand in the future! Too much components are of bad quality, no downloadable drivers etc. Better to build one myself.

I am trying to get my home PC more quiet, and have switched my old CPU fan to a Zalman CNPS7700-CU. I soon will change the GPU and chassis fan to Zalmans too. I want to monitor the CPU temperature, and found SpeedFan, which can show a graph of the temperatures, read RPMs and voltages. It can also read S.M.A.R.T information from hard drives, if you want to know the health of your drives. HDD Health is another tool that can be helpful when monitoring drives, and can be set to trigger alarms on events.

A “must” at and around christmas :-D I love it, the other brands doesn’t taste as good. It’s hard to describe…a combination of beer and sugar perhaps??

FLST is an extension, to be used in Mozilla Firefox. This one makes sure that the tab you selected last is selected when you close a tab. It can also be used to cycle through all tabs as a slideshow.

Duplicate Tab adds a context menu item when right clicking on a tab, that lets you duplicate a tab with its history etc.
