How to quieten a Pentium 4 computer?

Question

Cooling systems

Hello. I have an old computer (Pentium 4, 3.0Ghz), I want to make something like a home server out of it to store heavy files on it, connect with xBox to watch movies, etc.
I'll make a box for him myself. Is it possible to somehow cool it with passive cooling? If not, how do you fabricate an enclosure to ensure quiet operation? What to do with BP?

Answer 1

If passive at all, you should look towards Nofan CR-95C or CR-80EH.
The Phanteks PH-TC14PE also performs well in passive mode.
Although Thermalright TRUE Spirit 90M is enough for old junk, it will work very quietly.
You can also look
Cooler Master TPC 800 and Zalman FX100
With power supplies, the situation on the market is not very good .
And Silverstone had something else .
HDD can be hung on elastic bands - cut, or pulled out from shorts ... what is enough imagination. This will help get rid of 80% of vibrations. All other noise is not critical. It is not advisable to make a server absolutely without purging - capacitors will swell in a year. Dust filters should be present, tights are of little use (checked! xD).

Answer 2

Alternative: This is the age of the Internet.
The same Yandex and Google give ten gigabytes for files for free. You can have multiple accounts.
Most useful files are already on torrents, you can delete them and when you need to download again.
There are many hostings for multimedia, if multimedia is not self-made - it is already on the Internet. If home-made and do not want to publish - fill in and restrict access rights.
I just can't imagine what unique material you can make that is not on the Internet, that cannot be uploaded to multimedia hosting, torrents, or gigabyte accounts. )
And this computer can be presented to loved ones.
