Enjoy the performance. Enjoy the silence.
A computer that will transform your office or room into a quieter place whereyou can actually work or retreat. Serene yet uncompromisingly powerful.
The chassis for quiet.
Quiet reaches a new height of performance with the P183, one of several offerings from Antec's Performance One series of computer enclosures. The P183 proveds first-class performance as it is the quietest, coolest and most stylish.
Features:
Dual chamber design isolates heat and noise: the power supply resides in a separate chamber to isolate heat and reduce system noise.
Power supply: Corsair makes some of the most quiet and reliable power supplies on the market. We have very high standards when it comes to failure rates for products and the Corsair power supplies are some of the lowest we've ever seen.
Triple-layered sound-deadening side panels and front door uses a plastic polymer between two layers of aluminum to dampen noise.

Excellent cooling without noise.
It is challenging enough to find a cooler that can handle the extreme heat that's generated by each new generation of CPUs. Add to that the challenge of finding a CPU cooler that's quiet and you have a very difficult task. We brought in the best coolers we could find, ran them through our rigerous testing labs and settled on the Gelid Tranquillo. It is one of the few that meet our extreme criteria, and we're proud to be offering it on the Puget Serenity.
Features:
- Hydro Dynamic Bearings
A silent 120mm fan with the intelligent GELID PWM (Pulse Width Module) control is used to guarantee high airflow while running silently. The intelligent GELID PWM curve keeps the fan silent when no necessary cooling is needed and accelerates the fan speed whenever additional cooling is needed.
- Heat Pipes Design
The tower CPU Cooler ÒTranquilloÓ uses 4 power heat pipes and a special heat pipe constellation to achieve best heat transfer from CPU core to the aluminum fins in its class. After precise software simulation and calculation during the development stage a unique heat sink shape was created to lower air flow resistance as much as possible.
No fans, no noise.
Graphics cards are notorious for being one of the loudest components of a high-end system. The Puget Serentity defaults to fanless video cards in order to combat this noise pollutant.
By using a larger heatsink, heat is transferred to cool air that enters in the system by other, quieter fans and then passes by the video card.
Obviously, these heatsinks only work on a select number of graphics cards as they can only to a certain point. For higher-end video cards that are unable to use passive cooling, we have a selection of brands that use quieter fans than normal. We encourage you to seek the advice of your Puget Customer Service Rep for help when choosing one of these cards.
How quiet can it go?
The degree of silence is totally customizable. Almost every component in the computer will have an affect on noise level, whether indirectly or directly. For example, the hotter components become, the more cooling is needed. The more cooling that's needed, the more creative one has to become in order to avoid simply adding more fans and more noise.
In addition to the standard options that are included with every Puget Serenity, we also have a few additional options that will further aid the level of quietness your system can achieve.
Options:
- Smart Drive Enclosures
These hard drive enclosures are noise dampening and the perfect solution for noisier hard disk drives.
- Foam insulation
Acousti brand soundproofing foam is top notch for cutting additional noise from your computer after all other measures have been taken. If you want the inside of your Puget Serenity to act like a iso booth in a recording studio, this will do it.
- Quieter fans
There are many options in the world of quiet fans. The ones we've chosen as the default fans for the Serenity are best for most senarios. However, depending on the exact componets in your system, you can use our even quieter case fan upgrade kits.

We understand that the word "quiet" is very subjective and that not everyone is going to have the same work/play space or needs. Our service reps can help you customize your Serenity so that it will fit your exact situation. We encourage you to email us for personal service at sales@pugetsystems.com!
