| speakeasy.net | Neat animated speed test, but they do not give great results for me due to being too loaded or to far away from Detroit (8 USA city sites to test to). | |

Silent PC Review | Awesome site! Lots of well done reviews, I agree with all their findings and opinions (so far ...) |
| Silent | Huge reference page with massive amounts of details. | |
| Yahoo Group for Quiet/Silent PC's | I have read a lot of the postings from 2002 and 2003, but now I usually just read Silent PC Review. | |
| Silicon Acoustics | Only quiet components for sale! The specialists. | |
| Directron | Their dedicated quiet component section is worth a look, but I almost always order from NewEgg. |
| NewEgg | My all time favorite computer shopping place!!! | |
| Pricewatch | Can be very handy. | |
| ServerCase | Where I get my 4U server cases for making quiet/silent full power PC's. | |
| CK4071 | current favorite (but poor vent holes: too few, too small) requires modding for improved air inflow | |
| CK4066 | just received, haven't tried it out yet | |
| CK4055 | #1 possibility for next case if CK4066 is excessively long | |
| CK4062 | #2 possibility for next case if CK4066 is too long | |
| CK436 | DO NOT get this one ever again (great vent holes, but has 1" inset of drive bays that reduces interior length too much!) | |
