With my PC on most of the time, this is kinda problem sitting near a jet engine!
Could always buy large diameter fans and a fan speed control unit so you can turn down the revs when you want a bit of peace and quiet
New ones do- and copious amounts of LEDs but I don't want to have to buy new fans all the time.

Tried compressed air, wiping teh dust off with fans/dusters, etc etc- but still no effect.

And the new fans, three of them, marked low noise, are actually 20 dB [each] on teh lowest setting so definitely not w00t. Oh dear.
