Nice specs. How much did this set you back, preferably in a common 
currency like the euro or the Maltese lira? :)

In my computer, I've recently replaced the CPU and case fans, which now 
light up blue. The noise hasn't necessarily gone down, but it has changed.

One fan is mounted in a rubber mount, so that the vibrations aren't 
transmitted as much to the case. The power supply is in a similar rubber 
mount. The other fan has its own contraption, and can't be mounted in 
rubber. Then there's the video card, which I won't touch and therefore 
might be noisy.

I also got dust covers for the fans, but haven't gotten round to 
mounting them yet...
