Interesting, all this talk of power supplies.
My son went out yesterday and bought a new 'quiet' power supply and an
insulated CPU case because he found his computer too noisy down in his
bedroom.
He installed both parts and claims the noise level has dropped noticeably.
I wondered if this insulated case would cause overheating inside the box but
he says he now has more cooling fans than before. I'll keep an eye on it.

The newer Intel CPUs run pretty cool. Big change in cooling recently.
More people going for quiet.
