Geez. I imagine those are low-RPM and inaudible? Neat.

If it weren't for the pump, then probably. HA!

- CPU: Intel i7 4790k
- Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97X Gaming GT (was Asus Maximus VII Hero--Micro Center was out of them to replace my old one, so I thought I'd try the fancy DAC-UP Gigabyte has)
- RAM: G.Skill TridentX DDR3 2400 2x8GB
- Video Card: Galax GTX 970 HOF
- SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB
- HD: HGST Deskstar NAS 7200RPM 4TB
- XXD: Two externals (WD and Seagate) and an OCZ Agility 3 doing ShadowPlay duty
- PSU: Corsair HX850
- Case: Corsair Carbide 400R
- CPU Cooler: Enermax Liqtech 240
- Keyboard: Cooler Master QuickFire Rapid Cherry MX Brown and Kinesis Low Force Keypad (numpad with Cherry MX Brown)
- Sound Card: Sound Blaster ZxR for gaming
- Mouse: Razer DeathAdder Chroma on Razer Scarab mat
- Networking: Asus AC68 (router) and AC68 PCIe + Zyxel Powerline Ethernet
- Monitor: Asus 24" LED (2ms)
- Fans: Lots! My favorites are the Cougar Vortex but they only sit 3 optimal spots for my case. Radiator fans need higher static pressure.

For a music listener, the advantages of physical silence are pretty obvious, and I have confessed to buying a general-purpose PC that would fry without its fans. One alternative is the tiny box approach (or even one of those Pi or similar things) but for those who feel that a computer should look like some sort of server, there is Nofan. I love those heatsinks. Not sure if they cope well with 30C ambient, though.

What case is that?

And any idea for the smallest nice case that would fit a full sized cpu cooler and a full sized graphics card? No need for any optical drives and only one ssd would be inside. Ever since I got the NAS storage in my machine for anything but games is long needed. Want something smaller and sleeker.

Sorry, not sure who makes that case. Didn't see it in a quick look at mini-ITX cases.

This reddit thread matches your question. https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/2tq5y8/build_help_smallest_casesystem_that_fits_a/ Many suggestions.

You know what you have to do to get those temps down...

I know

I've been putting it off because I don't wanna mess it up as I need the comp to do freelance work. Should be wrapping up projects soon. I'll just need to be super careful.

Here's a quick solution to try. Install Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, directly download from Intel site. Turn off adaptive voltage, and set your voltage to 1.2V for Core. You'll notice an immediate temperature drop during loads. For some reason Z87 and Z97 Motherboards are far too liberal with letting voltage flow into the CPU cores during load.

If you are against delidding you can also try this stuff trust me it works.
