Another Quiet PC thought: Keep it off!

I tried it. Worked great! Didn't emit a peep!

Side benefits: More time to do other things. Lower electric bill. Less chore for the house AC (cooling down all that hot air my PC made). Other electronic devices get more attention (Found I could play asteroids on my Handspring Visor!). Wife no longer fears I'm going to turn murderous from playing too much Quake.

Problems: Coming down from a PC high is painful; I suggest tapering off slowly. The PC will then become the most expensive doorstop in the house. Of course, it's probably an old PC's job at the moment. ;-)
