Our best-selling 100% silent PC comes fully-built using Nofan’s revolutionary IcePipe processor cooler, and now a 10th Gen CPU! This high-specification machine doesn’t compromise on performance and comes with at least two-year fully inclusive warranty.

At last - Affordable PC Silence!

Building on Nofan’s revolutionary IcePipe silent cooler as a starting point, we are proud to offer the A1030i Fanless which is the next iteration of our most popular system! Underneath Nofan’s unique IcePipe processor cooler is an Intel 10th Gen CPU and because it’s fanless, there is no noise, no dust, no moving parts and no maintenance. The machine can be configured to your exact specification and offers, as you would expect, totally silent operation.

Choice of Chassis

To continuously make this system available we have now made the very popular A1030i Fanless configurable with an Antec case. This give a greater choice for the customer, as not all want transparent side panels. The Antec VSK10 is very similar in size to the Coolmaster and is very capable of dissipating the heat of a fanless PC due to the very large grill on the roof of the chassis.

Intel’s 10th Generation Processors

As already mentioned, the PC takes advantage of an Intel 10th generation CPU, which has an increased core count and therefore performance boost over the previous generation. As a guide, here is a quick comparison between the 10th Gen Core i7 10700 and the previous 9th Gen Core i7 9700. As you can see the Core i7 10700 has an increased CPU score of around 30%! The extra threads and increased Intel Smart Cache on the 10th Gen CPU help bolster this performance gain, even with the Core i7 10700 having a lower clock speed (by 0.1GHz).

Storage considerations

When specifying your new PC’s storage options using our system configurator below, you will be offered a choice of drives which vary by price and capacity. There are two primary types of storage. A conventional hard disk drive (HDD) offers huge storage capacity for a low price, but it won’t be especially fast and it will generate a certain amount of running noise since it contains a constantly-rotating spindle. A solid state (SSD) or a M2 drive on the other hand, offer tremendous speed and absolutely silent operation, but they cost more than an HDD for any given capacity.

So if you need a lot of storage space (for videos or large quantities of digital photos for example), then we would recommend an HDD. On the other hand, if you prefer silence and speed (especially boot-up speed), then an SSD or M2 drive would be a better choice. Of course you can have more than one drive, so you could have the best of both worlds by choosing one of each! We recommend that customers chose an SSD or M2 drive as a boot drive that contains the operating system and important programs and a conventional HDD to store other data, but remember that if you intend to have a totally silent PC you might want to forgo the HDDs all together as they will make some noise due to their moving parts.

Clean Build™ Promise

The price of many pre-built PCs these days is often supported by cash kickbacks from software companies who pay hardware manufacturers to pre-install limited or trial versions of their software and then hope that the customer pays to upgrade to the full version. The downside to this approach is that the new PC comes pre-loaded with a lot of “junkware” which bloats the operating system and can cause severe performance degradation.

Here at Quiet PC we believe that customers have every right to expect the best possible performance from a brand new PC, so every system we build comes with our Clean Build™ promise. We install the operating system (if you order one), motherboard drivers, OS updates and Windows Security - that’s it. You won’t be pestered by pop-ups and nag screens and you can get on with using your new PC immediately without having to uninstall lots of junkware first. Your new machine will boot in super-quick time and will stay running quickly for many months and years to come.

Free hardware support and fully inclusive warranty

We offer free hardware technical support for as long as you own the machine. This support covers any hardware query or problem, including advice on maintenance and upgrades. We regret we can’t offer software support or training so we would recommend contacting the software vendor in this instance.

Our hardware warranty runs for at least two years and is “collect and return” meaning that you don’t need to worry about getting the machine back to us - we will instruct our courier to collect it from you on a day of your choosing, then after we have checked and repaired it we will send it back to you by express courier at our expense. In addition, unlike many other PC suppliers, we have an “open-case” policy which means you are free to open the machine and perform your own minor modifications or upgrades without worrying that your warranty might be affected.
