I just spend a whole weekend building a fanbus for my computer, just to have it go up in smoke when I turned my computer on! I just wanted to come on and rant about my failure. Nothing more to see here, move along...

It lets me control the voltage going to individual fans in my computer so that I can control the noise level in my room.

got to love it when you power something up and release the magic smoke.

Should try it at 36V dc at 300 amps! Very cool to watch it smoke and melt aluminum plate

Does anyone know of a particularly quiet brand of power supply? the noise from my computer (although there are worse candidates, I'm sure) is far too much, in my estimation, and the vast majority of the (audible) noise is coming from the PSU fan..

I'm looking for a 300W unit, preferably which is too quiet to be heard.

if you have lots and/or big fans, they can get pretty loud, if you stay with the stock fans, you dont have anything to worry about.
