WhisperingWulf: A Silent Personal Cluster

The WhisperingWulf is a fully functional totally quiet personal HPC cluster. This project was originally started as a quest for a small and silent HTPC (Home Theater Personal Computer).

Like HTPC systems, WhisperingWulf is cooled passively -- there are no fans involved in the cooling of the CPU. This technique was found to be rather efficient, that is, adequate cooling can be achieved without making the system significantly larger. We show how we have constructed and built several of these boxes.
