Nice site if you are from holland.

pretty steep prices its like they are selling macs, i think i would rather build myself a rig again and reuse some already available and still useful parts, its pretty silent too if you have components that adapt rpm to temperature with big fans. the loudest thing nowadays are the harddisks, dont let them touch the case.

For me, hardware noise is actually one of the factors when it comes to buying PC parts; my case is a special sound dampening one, fanless graphics card and low-noise pretty much everything (and still it's too noisy). Let me tell you that you can build it yourself a LOT cheaper than that site. I'd dare say about 50% less expensive for some of their kits if not more. Worst thing is that some of the components aren't even the ideal ones as far as noise production goes. Try using enterprise harddisks if you need a platter, but for prices upto € 12000, I'd expect SSD drives but even then it'd be too expensive. For € 12000 I'd expect fully passive cooling (i.e. emerged in liquid), instead of just heatpipes. Basically they appear to be a company abusing the current trend towards low-noise similar to how some companies abuse the gullibility of audiophiles in selling US$ 500 network cables.
