I have a frontend system in the bedroom. It's a slim form factor Compaq<br>
D5S/P1.7 running mythdora 5. The system is fairly quiet except for the<br>
hard drive. What are people doing to quiet these down?<br>
<br>
I tried installing the system to a flash drive, but the install keeps<br>
failing. Not sure it will run well enough off a flash drive anyway.<br>
<br>
The other possibility is running off the network. Anybody doing this<br>
successfully?<br>
<br>
Are there hard drive options that are quieter? SSD maybe?</blockquote><div><br>I bought an 8GB CF card with a CF to IDE adapter from addonics. Works like a charm. Super silent and cheap<br><br>Kevin</div></div><br>
