so i;ve got an epia M10000 in a travla 134 case, absolutely tiny thing, being used as a linux server/downloadbox/ftp/ssh/younameit.
i've replaced the original cpu fan with a 40mm ultim8pc one - 20db apparantly.
oh and i removed the case fan.
thing is, the little thing drives me INSANE!. i've tried sleeping with it on, to no avail, can't even work at my desk with it on.
short of putting a rheostatic controller in the (tiny) case, it looks like i'm stuck.
thing is i want to silence my big pc (in sig - near to 10 fans is driving me insane). but given my experience with silencing my server, do you guys think it will be fruitless? have i just got abnormally sensitive ears?
dgr
