are your hard drives quiet?

have you considered changing the PSU fan out for a quieter one, and adding a rheostat to the fan... (add wire to the fan leads, and run them to the rheostat, mounted anywhere you like).

I don't know if the power leads from the PSU can be extended by much... I seem to recall that some enermax PSUs had issues because of their unusually long power leads, but I may be mistaken. If you can extend them, why not shield them w/ something? Would wrapping them in Al foil work? Just an idea.
