mine's loud as hell too...5 80mm case fans, GPU fan, and processor fan...and my case isn't exactly sound-deadening.

The Antec case I posted is supposed to be quiet. It uses 120mm case fans (they rotate slower, so they're quieter that 80mm fans), and a sturdy construction.

Not really... if you want one of us can help. If you want you could get Scott Mueller's Upgrading and repairing pcs, its a very good book and well worth the money. I believe he has a site too.

my processor fan is temperature sensitive, but my case fans are just one speed. They all say they're supposed to be silent. :dunno:
