PC Power and Cooling (www.pcpowercooling.com) sells very quiet fans. I can hardly tell the system I built entierly with their fans is on. The powersupply and all the case fans are from the Silencer line. I just noticed they have added a 400W PS to the silencer line so they should even work with dual cpu/athlon systems. If noise is bothering you, I suggent you might try replacing all the fans (ps included). I did that on two boxes and my office in _much_ quieter. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
