making sure the fan blades and air vents are clean. A thin layer of dust is enough to cause a significant db increase in noise. Also make sure the fan is mounted tightly to the supply and the supply is mounted tightly to the cabniet as vibrations cause noise as well.

Check case cover and all of the drives. Make sure they do not vibrate.

EDIT: obselete post.

If you do try it, for Cliff's sake don't run the PC near anything flammable.

ANOTHER EDIT: Thermo's schmegma is also spelt/ pronounced "smegma" in medical circles. Not sure which Version is derived from which. This is the source of the wonderful range of smeggy insults coined by Red Dwarf, so smeg off, you smegging smegheads...
