RE: OT: Computer noise soloutions

The most sound coming from my computer come from the cpu fan, as well as 
the hd fans and the power suppoer.

Try www.pcpowerandcooling.com for quieter power supplies and fans.

I just got the 275 watt ultra quite power supply. Unfortunately, it 
doesn't 
do nearly enough, but if I unplug my cpu fans, it becomes whisper quiet. 
(apart from the drives)

Building a sound proof enclosure isn't nearly as practical as stuffing all 
your hardware in another room, or in the closet. Unfortunately, barring 
that, there is little you can do.
