silent GeForce 7600GS, just like in my 64Studio machine, and that incredibly annoying fan noise is *gone*. Heh, that happened to me too. That's how noise is: get rid of one noise and then you can hear something else that it was masking. My drive noise isn't too bad, mostly a little seek noise from the main drive. My audio drive is mounted in a cheap 3.5-to-5.25" adapter frame that attaches to the chassis with rubber grommets; I don't hear that one as much. But they're different makes and models of drive, so I don't know how much that has to do with it. -- http://www.slinkp.com -- http://www.slinkp.com
