Anyone happen to have a pair of 80mm quiet fans collecting dust? The guys down at the airport are complaining about the noise from my PSU

Unfornately no, don't collect 80mms anymore. But if you can't find any used and have to buy new I'd suggest Enermax or Papsts for quiet. Then again you pay out some orifaces you probably don't want to for papsts but they're VERY good.

But I'm sure someone around here has some quiet ones laying about that isn't a fan hording freak.

I have a bunch of 80s that Ben gave me, they're quiet but they don't really do the job too well....

could always switch to water.

bah, thanks for the help, but i pulled the case apart last night and realized the noise seems to be comming more from one of the [older] HDDs then from the PSU I thought was the problem.. oh well. thanks anyway.

Sorry it wasn't something as simple as a fan. Time for you to upgrade to some Raptors anyways right? Then you just have "clicking" sounds.

LOL... i "happen" to have an 80G Matrox laying around from the other rig that took up smoking last night [see REQ:Socket 370 MB" thread

] that i could swap in, but if i can get that one going i'd rather use it, this one is an old com-crap and 100% proprietary mobo.. it works well for what i need, but no chance of upgrade. the dual 370 was supposed to be my toy... oh well.....
