Re: [chat] Quiet cooling fan / casing

[Matt M <m@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've just switched to Vantec Stealth fans in my Dual Duron (aka White Noise 
Generator), which has six 80mm fans in it (It runs HOT). The reduction in 
noise is incredible. It's about 1/3 of what it was. These aren't cheap, 
however, at about $20 a pop.

I bought mine from eyo.com.au, who stock the 80 and 92mm versions.

Cheers,

Matt

P.S. It's not just case fans that are noisy, however. You'll want to have a 
think about silent chip coolers like the Zalman series (not sure whether 
these are available for the Athlon) and quiet power supplies.
