intake/exhaust - yateloon 120mm x 2
cpu fan - zalman 7000cu 92mm
vid card - zalman vf700cu 80mm
antec psu - panaflo 80mm

with that many fans, the pc is still pure silent due to all the fans running less than 1500rpm and still plenty of airflow.

I hope you are wearing some type of hearing protection while you are using this computer, I am serious.

I have tinnitus (ringing in the ear) from long term exposure to loud sound. Believe me you do NOT want it.

In the Navy, single hearing protection is required 84db, and double hearing protection 104db. My case fans, even if all of them are on high, are not even near that. Also, it is high pitch / high frequency sounds that create hearing problems for the most part. I've worked around a lot of diesel engines, and you can tell the difference. And I've had my hearing checked every six months, and my hearing is not getting affected at all.

This is on my current system, not the one I'm building in my sig. I have space for another 120mm in front of my case I'll add then.

What's so hard to believe? With 120mm fans being increasingly popular, most people can get away with passive chipset/vid card/CPU cooling and/or a minimum number of case fans.

Well, PSUs have 1 - 2 now. One for the video card, and then one for the CPU. That's one more case fan. Just kind of surprising.
