I bought a Thermaltake Tsunami Dream case, and I really like the case. However, the noise is killing me, and I'm getting annoyed. I replaced my 60mm HSF with a Zalman copper number with an 80mm fan, which is fairly quiet. I have an Enermax Noisetaker PSU, which is quiet. I installed a Panaflo 120x38mm fan in the back with a fan speed controller feeding it 7V, and it seems to be moving a lot of air quietly.
I have to use a 25mm fan in the front so the Panaflo won't work there. Right now, the Smart Case fan is up there, but it's whining like a cat in heat even with the fan speed controller set to low. I can't locate the amount of current it's receiving, but I imagine it's 7V. I am going to try connecting the Thermaltake to my fan controller so I know it's getting 7V, but I'm not too hopeful.
Any ideas on reducing the noise of this jet engine? I've spent too much money, and I'm pissed. If someone says buy a Dell, I didn't spend THAT much.
