so i have this grand master plan of having one computer in my room to be just a server and controlling it with my other computer. this computer is just gonna be online 24/7 doing online stuff..heh. so i want this thing to silent. it pretty quiet right now, it has a psu fan and a cpu fan, but i can still hear it at night. its an amd 1700 with a geforce 4, 650 ram, and a 40 gig drive. i have this storage space under my bed its about 20" by 77", and its got a whole bunch of stuff in it. if i were to put my computer in there and run all my cables out from under the bed would it overheat in there? im also trying to find a way to put the computer on without pushing the button. any help? thanx
