I just need a reasonably quiet and fast basic PC for office work (Not video editing or gaming). My 10 year old PC is a Core2Duo.
I don't know if a basic case will do or I need something more sophisticated like this one for quietness.
Someone said that having a couple of extra case fans would make it quieter but a friend said that by definition having extra fans is noisier
Could anyone tell me if the Core I5 is a noisy processor and whether I need additional processor cooling for it to make it quieter.
Also would the power supply specified be reasonably quiet or should I go for the very quiet one.
Any help gratefully received
