Hi everyone,

I've decided that it's finally time to upgrade the old power supply to
something that can pull a little more air out of the system.

What seems to provide better cooling yet keep the system quiet?
A single 120mm fan or 2x 80mm fans?

Thanks!

They even make some with 140mm fans.
Try silentpcreview.com and look at 'recommended' on left pane.

Slow and large is better than fast and small. The best of all is a Hunter
Original; 7500 cu. ft./minute at 75 rpm. VERY quiet. On the other hand,
the diamater is 54" B^)
