I need to make my PC obnoxiously loud.

It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of doing what needs to be done.

The 'roomate' has a yorkie that ate my 22m LAN cable. It chewed up a segment about 2cm long.

He won't replace it. So I now need to move my pc right next to the modem because I only have 1 other LAN cable which is like 5m long. This is in range of his TV room (very close).

Now I can't be blasting music, because that'd make it too obvious.

I need to make my PC obnoxiously loud - like the fans or something. Maybe a grinding sound - something permanent and something annoying.

Oh and can you join a LAN cable? Just in case I need to fix my 22m LAN cable. It's got a 2cm chunk chewed away.

A reference GTX470 in Tri-SLI should do it, or get some tiny 12cm fans and turn the RPM way up, don't get bigger cos they run slower and quieter.

I though about hiding a vacuum cleaner inside my pc, just the body to make a loud noise and take up no space?

The 470 is louder than our vacuum cleaner, but that may work.

Add in smaller case fans and set your GPU fan(s) to a much higher setting. For the fans, simply find the loudest decibel wise in a NewEgg search and get a couple of those. If you're willing to drop the money, get a big CPU heatsink with dual fans (Like the coolermaster V6GT), as well as a second card.

I know that setting the fans to 100% on my 570s is almost like a hurricane. It's really bad when I can hear them roaring when I'm blasting away in BF3 at a high volume setting.

get some fan controlling software for your CPU and gpu fans. set em to 100% i like the coolermaster TX3 for any non 1155 socket cpu. that way u can mount 2 normal 90MM CASE FANS ahahahahaah

Can't you just put on some stinking grease on the cable?

i would just increase your gpu fans and/or cpu fans. I have my top 6950 running at 55% and its probably around 40-50 decibels. But when I crank it up to 70-80% (depending on the game) its around 70-80 decibels. Im afraid to run it at 100% for fear of my second 6950 blowing up or something.

Or get one of those CD/DVD/Blueray drive cleaners and keep it playing. Those sometimes get really loud.

Also try and get as many case fans with lights as possible. I know that my wife hates when I turn mine on so I bet your roommate would hate looking at your case look like a christmas tree.

Just download a clip off youtube with helicopter sounds.... Play em on full volume on your 5.1 and then ask him.....

"" Is my new cooler good or what :D ?""

It would be cheaper to replace the cable than to purchase components to make your computer much louder.

Don't be so petty. You are acting worse than your roomate. I dont particulalry care about any other or past grievances and perceived slights, replace the cable and expend that energy in "teaching" him into moving out.

If you want to be really obnoxious, hook a massive sub to it.

Even at low volumes the sound will travel into the other room and be annoying as hell.

Buy two 6990s and run Furmark a lot.

muahahaha great ideas in this thread, I like the ones with cheap fans hitting plastic. I won't even need to put them inside my pc.

I realized my wheel chair is really squeky as well.

a 22m cable is like 8 bucks.

Man you have to do this right. What you need are a few 40mm 1U server cooling fans. Incredibly high RPM, small fans means whiny obnoxious noise. Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc440tv1W_s(Revs them up 18 seconds in)

Buy: 12k RPM, 58.5dB

Put a few Delta fans in your pc.

Use model cement to glue a thin strip of plastic to a case fan such that the blades hit it.Blistrax

I think it'd cost much more money to make your computer super loud, than to buy another LAN cable.. lol. you know those cables are pretty cheap, right? :P

unless of course you just mess with your fans a little and have them make a rattling noise, as mentioned earlier :D

So you're going to get back at him by... spending time and money making your own computer unbearably loud?

Yeah, that'll show him. :roll:

A better bet is to put peanut butter on something of his roomate's and let the dog chew through that.

uhhh.

it's only an ethernet cable, right? he should definitely take responsability and cover it...but it's still an ethernet cable/not worth that much trouble.

If he has a computer, wipe his hard drive and install Windows ME on it.

Delta fans shift a huge amount of air, but nearly all are rated at 50+db making them seriously loud. Not a problem when they are mounted in racking in server rooms, but quite unpleasant to be sat near for any length of time.

Yeah I guess ME is a bit too harsh :P

Scythe 38mm thick 120mm fans. Those suckers are loud once you get them running past 60% fan speed. Turn them up to 100% and if you're not using headphones to game, you're really going to have to crank up the volume to drown out the fan noise.

If you have one on your case it's not so bad, but when you get 3 or 4 going....holy hell do they get noisy. And as others have stated, crank up your GPU fan.

On a side note, if your roomate isn't some hot chick....slap him for having a Yorkie. That's not a dog, it's a hairy rat.

I think this would be the best route. It sounds like more work/money just to be obnoxious. And then, if you "win" and he buys you an $8 cable, you have to undo all your work.

Downclocking GPU fans. So difficult.

Because, really, that's all he has to do.

buy a couple scythe ulta kaze fans.....that otta be loud enough

look for the loudest fans on newegg using the filter. install them in your PC. then take a wire end and stick it in the fans way.

Guaranteed obnoxiousness! :lol:

Edit: something like this.. you don't even need to mount them. Just place them behind the PC!

umm, just repair the cable. A boxcuter, some solder, and some electrical tape.

Most places sell them for >$15 a pop. It's not worth the investment when the cable can be purchased for less than of those IMO.

Just buy a new cable and tell him he's a d!ck.
