After asking "Why is my quiet case so noisy?" on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
computerhelp, I tried an experiment last night. After running the machine until it got really loud, I opened up the case and put my finger on the CPU fan, stopping it briefly.
The noise stopped completely.
So, I need a new CPU fan that's not so loud. The question is, which fan should I buy?

I'm currently cooled by the Reserator 1, but that won't be suitable if you want to keep everything in-case.
