AVADirect Silent Gaming PC: An Exercise in Balance
In their Silent Gaming PC, AVADirect has produced a reasonably balanced, powerful build that goes a large way towards proving a powerful system can still run quietly. Since gaming typically taxes the GPU far more than the CPU and the custom cooler on the GTX 580 runs incredibly quietly, gamers aren't going to have any complaints with AVADirect's build.
