Title: My room is so super quiet now..
Post by: tp4tissue on Tue, 22 October 2013, 15:42:17: ....that I've stopped competitively seeding data-on-the-internet*...

Yeah, it's a kind of silly hobby... (http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion/048.gif)

Did you know, that you can hear crickets "even in the morning"... but only when your hard-drives spin down... (http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion/f529a952.gif)

The hard drives on my beasts at home are the least of the problem comparing to the fans. Even with bigger slower fans with better blade design... Still louder than the HDs.

I used water during my intel q9400 days..

After i7, I stuck with air because the water pump churning-noise didn't justify the 100-200mhz extra ontop of air-cooled overclocking...

now my computer only has a single 120mm fan for the cpu onto of the other stuff that carry their own fan..

no other spinning going on in my room.

I know he's talking about torrents, but there's a masturbation joke in there somewhere...

Agreed, apparently the 'elitists' are bad at math and don't realize torrents are a 'zero sum' game

I'm not Russian, lol. Also, the only private torrent sites I've visited were populated by English-speaking Americans and Western Europeans.
