Quiter fan for Shuttle SN45G

[5cupa]

well just finished building a SN45g for a friend with all standard fans and a passive gcard and must say as long as the hdrive (seagate Barra) isent going over time producing heat then the whole unit stays pretty much on a silent purrrr

will have to see if it stays so quiet after a few weeks of use

I have:

AMD XP2800+ 266FSB
Corsair 1024mb DDR TwinX XMS2700
Seagate Barracuda 160GB 7200RPM 8MB cache
Pioneer DVD+/-R/RW 106D
Hercules 3D Prophet 9800 PRO 128MB DDR
WinTv-PVR-PCI
PN11 802.11b module
PN12 USB2.0 Card Reader
PN40 SilentX 250W
Fan grill mod, Stealth DVD,

Was using the stock fan but changed it last week to
NoiseBlocker S3 (S4 is too much power!)

I run it a 3% and idle temps are lower than with the stock fan by about 3degrees. (Ran stock at 2%). idle CPU @ 48c, system at 39, PSU (silentx) at 49c.

IMHO
Get the Sharkoon SL1 BEST FAN available but I only found it in the UK this week. Buying one to replace my one week old noiseblocker S3, CFM is 2cm greater and only 1db more
