Hello!
Is it possible to build a silent computer, without fans at all? What case
should I buy?
Best regards,

Yes, big heat sinks, tall cases, low power, convection
and/or conduction cooling. NASA does this all the time on
space probes, no air. They do use pumps to move liquids.

What parts to buy, I don't know. Water cooling is quiet,
like a fish tank without the bubbles.

Thanks Jim for your reply!
Do all water cooling cases cost more than 900$? How noisy in decibels are
cases with 120mm fans and a rotation control?
Best regards,
Dima

Noise is subjective... some sound is listed in decibels but
unless you know the character and frequency, you don't know
how it will bother you.

I can't stand hearing a water dripping from a faucet 30 feet
away, but my computer's humming fans two feet away are just
"white noise" and don't bother me. My wife will turn my
computer OFF if I'm not sitting there using it.

She doesn't mind the sound of her Dell E510, but turns it
off when she goes to bed, because the lights on the computer
bother her.

Someone makes a no-fan case. IIRC $1400 for the *CASE*.
