Hello... so guys here it is. Please read through the "performed mods" part before you vote. Anyway this system has gone through some minor upgrades to the CPU. I also worked out a way of completely eliminating the Akasa's (front fan) vibration. The system with the akasa turned down to a low 1000RPM completely shuts up and stays silent =D. Please comment, and vote guys :)
