How quiet?

[Funky_Junk]

Im ready to order my system but im looking for something quiet (quiet, not silent). How quiet do you think this will be:

Thermaltake Tsuanmi with stock (3) 120mm fans
Zalman CNPS9500 on CPU on Low setting
Zalman VF-700Cu on VGA on Low setting
Antec TruePower 550w
Western Digital Cavier SE 250GB

Thanks.

The zalman stuff is designed to be quiet, I don't really know about much else. I have heard Samsung Spinpoints are supposed to be really quiet HDDs if you haven't already ordered.

I can't speak highly enough about Zalman products. I have both their CPU and VGA cooler on my A64 3200 and GeForce 6800GT and can't hear them. Both provide better cooling than their stock cooling counterparts (especially the VGA cooler). My case fans and power supply are actually louder than both of them running together. Love 'em.

I've also used the Thermaltake Tsunami. Excellent case with very quiet fans as well. You're starting off on the right direction. Although you MIGHT be able to swap out the case fans for something a smidge quieter, your overall selections should be nice and quiet with all those fans alone.

Get the a Seasonic PSU instead. I believe its quieter than the Antec TP ones. The 600W SLI one is really nice
