Fanless silent PC using just heat pipes

Hey I know alot of you moan on about noise, so I thought I'd share
this with you:

Apparently without fans you can run a high end PC inside 200watts,
so I guess the case pays for itself in electric bills too, sounds too
good to be true.

It would pay for itself in roughly 8 - 10 years I worked out.

So definately worthwhile if you don't intend on upgrading your PC that often.

Apart from beeing free, surely the prospect of complete silence must be
tempting, to think of having a PC on without any noise at all, I for one
do feel less tranquil and less creative when the PC fan keeps going up
and down in speed all the time depending on what windows I have open.

Total weight 21 kgs same as any other mid - full case.

I dont know, it would take a while to recoup the ?800 cost of the case in power bills, i suspect

You'll need a reinforced concrete floor judging by all that metal.

Looks like an Xbox.
