I built a system from some freebie parts including a used case and a couple of older GPUs in SLI. It is louder than the deck of an aircraft carrier. I've ordered a quiet case fan, and I'm going to swap out the GPUs. Any suggestions for the best balance of fast + quiet under $200? Maybe favoring quiet a little. Thanks!
