Can a SFFPC be silent - no gaming involved
I'm trying to figure out my next computer and am super lost. I noticed a few threads while searching about SFFPC's and I am intrigued. The computer is going to live on the desk about 3 ft from my head and silence is what I value more than anything. After that, the smaller the better. I've entertained the mac mini, but I would much prefer to stay with a pc. I also will likely have to consider a prebuilt computer. I have arthritis and screwing in all the components will aggravate my hands and arms.
My usage is 1-2 zoom meetings each week, email, web browsing and a healthy dose of youtube. That's it. It's really just a general computer for home. I have an older Dell Inspiron (purchased in 2018) desktop with an intel 8400 that does what I want but there are two problems...1. It is like a constant jet engine next to my head and I have finally had all I can take of the noise. 2. It's a massive tower compared to what I see today. I could get past that, but I'd like to get silent, or close to it, and smaller if possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
