A quote from the article:
Although no reasonably sane and moral person will look up to notorious historical figures such as Adolf Hitler or Joseph Stalin as the source of inspiration for their life, you will have to admit they do have some sort of brilliance -- albeit seriously misguided -- that brought them such infamy we recognize them for today. To pull one of the famous quotes of the latter, Joseph Stalin once said, "Death solves all problems -- no man, no problem." As harsh as it sounds, he really has a point. Basically, he is suggesting rather than dealing with the problem itself, if you cut straight to the source of the problem, you will not have the problem to begin with. As such, there are many ways to deal with the problem of noise generated by your computer. The first method is to cancel out some of the sound generated by the components inside by investing in a chassis with lots of good acoustic insulation like the Fractal Design Define R4. You can also buy components that are optimized for quiet computing, such as the Noctua NH-D15, which is a big cooler with a big fan that does not generate a whole lot of noise in the first place. But if we apply the Joseph Stalin principle to power supplies, and simply eliminate the fan altogether, what do we get? The answer: SilverStone's 0dBA, completely fanless Nightjar NJ520 power supply. No fan, no noise. Built by Seasonic and 80 PLUS Platinum certified for maximum efficiency, let us see if we have found the real deal!
