Key features
The build
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 :)
