I recently bought a Shuttle SV24, using a Via C3 933 processor and a passive heatsink from Alpha. I was expecting for this to be some sort of super-silent configuration, but, alas, it is far from that. The Shuttle SV24 comes with one beastly loud 50mm case fan in the back, which I'd like to replace. What can i do? Any help is appreciated.

-edit-
the pci slot is filled with my radeon 32mb/sdram card, so pci slot coolers are a no-no. also, i'm not quite interested in modding this; its just too perfect :D

The backside fan is 60mm. Swap for a less noisy fan.
Also the power supply fan is noisy too. You can get a 40mm quiet fan and replace it too. As a matter of fact, I remember on AGORA one member was selling quiet fans to replace the fans in the PS.

I'm interested in quieting my SV25 down, too... it definitely doesn't have quieter fans.

I have a 24v 60mm running in my tower system on my CPU... I might try using that to see if it's enough air flow. Anyone else have any suggestions?
