Video Cards Every video card choice is silently cooled either with the manufacturer's video heatsink or is silently cooled with a custom video card cooler.

Western Digital Quiet Hard Drive Every system comes with the most silent hard drive available. Other digital audio workstation manufacturers tout the choice of Samsung Spinpoint or the Seagate Barracuda 7200.9. At different times, these hard drives were well known for their quiet features.

Additionally, for those of you requiring extreme silence, our systems include an option for the Smart Drive 2002 hard drive enclosure, which further silences your hard drive without raising it's temperature.
