			'''The Challenge'''

			Did some noise testing on my machine, taking out the different parts and measuring noise levels, here's the results:

			{\|
			\|Totally off (just background noise)::
			\|34 dB
			\|-
			\|Everything on, idle cpu/graphics:
			\|56 dB
			\|-
			\|No GPU:
			\|46 dB
			\|-
			\|No GPU & No HDDs (3):
			\|42 dB
			\|-
			\|No GPU & No HDDs & No CPU fan:
			\|37 dB
			\|}


			Meaning each component makes roughly this much noise:

			{\|
			\|PSU Fan:
			\|3 dB
			\|-
			\|HDDs:
			\|4 dB
			\|-
			\|GPU fan:
			\|10 dB
			\|-
			\|CPU fan:
			\|5 dB
			\|}


			For reference:
			{\|
			\|0 dB
			\|Threshold of hearing
			\|-
			\|30 dB
			\|quiet bedroom at night
			\|-
			\|60 dB
			\|conversational speech 1m away
			\|-
			\|80 dB
			\|beside a busy road
			\|}
