However, i agree with you that fans have no place inside computers.....(just one quite one on the heatercore).
Actually, I built a giant passive radiator that's bigger than my pc case. (see my site at: www.xs4all.nl/~philippo)I put it behind my desk up against the wall, so it isn't even visible, and it's cooling very well. So that leaves me with just 1 fan left, in the psu. Hence my interest in the watercooled psu that made me start this thread.
