So I finally decided to stop lurking...
And register to say hello!
Been a long time reader, I love the fan and PSU reviews SPCR does.
It's getting warm here in Sydney, and my old fans are starting to die. Especially one in my folding rig that's sitting next to me screaming SHHH...
About time I got new ones, eh?

Hi again, thanks for your interest.
Found some time to mess with the computer a bit. It seems the 140mm fan in the PSU wasn't to blame. Okay, maybe it wasn't that surprising considering it's a generic brand EZCool...
No bulging/leaking caps and nothing looks burnt in the PSU, though I can smell a whiff of burnt stuff.
By the way, what's SPCR's forum policy on external links to online retailers and other forums? Didn't see it in the stickies.
EDIT: The fan from the PSU is surprisingly quiet. Google turned up a single hit and guess what, it's from SPCR: A new 140mm x 25mm fan, pretty quiet. Mine has blue LEDs instead of green, at 5V it's inaudible from about 20cm.
