... actually, just new case and CPU heatsink/fan
I know you could check out what it looks like on Antec's website but this one is put together by myself!!!
More pic at the gallery!
Both the case (Antec SLK3700-BQE) and the CPU Heatsink/fan (Zalman CNPS6000-cu) work as advertised! Not only the noise level dropped dramatically (I hear not as much as half of the noise) but also the CPU temperature dropped from >100C to consistently <60C, with the fan running at 1500rpm only. What a big difference! Special thanks to Buildsilentpc.com and Silent PC Review for the info and recommendations.
Since this heatsink is so easy to remove (thanks to Zalman's great design and the tool they provide), I should probably try some Arctic Silver thermal compound and overclock this thing like crazy!
