Quiet replacement for loud 80mm PSU fan?

I've a PC Power and Cooling PSU that has a Delta model EFB0812EH 80mm fan. I don't know the CFMs, but I don't want to undercut its performance because the PSU already runs somewhat hot and it isn't in a very cool room. I'm definitely replacing it with a quieter fan, though. Can you recommend any? Al...

Where do you find these X-*60 series PSUs? Newegg only has the x-460. How much power can the X-460 handle, and how many case fans would be required? Are the X-*60 series quieter than the X-*50 series? Where can I find the X-660? It isn't really clear what is new...

Thanks!

The only PSU from the new Seasonic X series I can find is the X-460. Do you think it would be safe for this system (with one or two case fans)?

Hah, funny misspelling. I assumed that since the PSU was designed for the p183 and similar cases that it would perform better. Now that I'm checking out the X-650, reviews seem to be saying that there are newer/better Seasonic PSUs (X-750 etc). How about it? Oh, and the HR-02 doesn't come with a duc...

Anymore comments on heatsink choice before I build a similar system? Also curious about case fans/locations/what comes with p183/how to control them. I'm not worried about the heatsink ripping off, but the Orochi looks dangerous for the motherboard.

How would you improve on Pudget's Serenity i7?

Hey guys, I'm building a new box and read the Pudget Serenity i7 article on SPCR ( http://www.silentpcreview.com/article1052-page1.html ) - and it is almost exactly what I'm building (minus the HDD, I'm only putting an SSD in it). What would you change about the Pudget system? Probably a different C...

I'm also very sensitive to noise, but as an aside, I would like to explore my idea of a window-fan side to a case. Traveling at a RPM where you can almost watch them cycle (like a ceiling fan), wouldn't the huge blades allow for optimal airflow - but at the same time be almost completely silent? Has...

What about one enormous fan on the side of the case at an extremely low RPM. Say, a two foot fan going at less than 1000 or even 500RPMs pulling or pushing with a filter. Wouldn't this solve practically every problem?

Also, I'm not stuck on the 9600GT, I just need two relatively new Nvidia cards.

I thought about water cooling before, but I'd rather just not deal with the extra cost (extra couple hundred it seems). Anyway, I'm guessing the cards will be somewhere around Nvidia 9600GT with passive heatsinks. What do you think?

Quietest case option to date?

Hey guys, I'm looking for recommendations for my upcoming system - and although I'm sure this topic is worn out by now, I'd rather hear some simplified facts rather than reading through a couple hundred posts about cases like the Antec p1** or Silverstone something or other. My system will contain: ...
