[QUOTE="Sh4nn0w, post: 183743, member: 24809"] I'd probably say its your 60mm / 80 mm fans that are making the noise., assuming they are the ones that came with case. [url=http://www.quietpc.com/pt-en-eur/products/casefans]Here[/url] does various quieter ones & sizes; although once can probably get them cheaper elsewhere. I swopped out my 120mm fans in my desktop for Nexus D12SL-12's and its a lot quieter. They only do as small as [url=http://www.nexustek.nl/80mm_real_silent_case_fan.htm]80mm[/url], which only cover's one. Only 60mm one I know of that's supposed to be quiet is off the first link, AcoustiFan: DustPROOF 60mm fan., can't vouch for it though, haven't come across many "quiet" branded 60mm fans, which is why I still don't have a case, trying to get one which doesn't have 60mm fans and has what I want isn't easy. Hopefully someone else might be able to recommend a good quiet 60mm fan. EDIT: Just came across this: [url=http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/acatalog/info_2558.html]60mm Papst 612 F/2L Quiet Case Fan 16dB[/url] (Papst are supposed to be quite good) Also found a danish site where someone has used them in place of standard fans in HTPC, here's an almost readable [url=http://gramtrans.com/gt/url/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sports-mc.dk%2Fbeeblebrox%2Findex.php%3Fid%3D5%26idsub%3D50%26idtrg%3D502&pair=dan2eng]translation[/url] Seems to say they are quieter, also recommends rubber fan mounts, which I have to say on my PC stopped a lot of the fan vibrations.
