Low budget silence?

My Computer is too loud! I want to make it silent w/o spending a ton of money. I'm planning on buying NMB fans(really Cheap). Does anyone have any suggestions for a cheap silent heatsink/fan, I don't care about performance as long as it is silent. Anybody got any other ideas on making this silent?
 
I have a few NMB fans...they are extremely quiet but don't push much air at all.
For HSF, I would go SLK + Panaflo and for case fans, either panaflo's or vantec stealths.

Buy some fan adjusters and turn the fans down much slower. I have a couple and bought splitters and run two fans off each one. Cheapest way to go and it's extremly effective. Chances are your fans are at an overkill speed anyway. The adjusters cost like $6 each. You can buy them at compUSA.

$6 = Huge ripoff.
 
Along the fan adjuster line of thought, if you want cheap, I'd keep the old fans and get a BayBus to slow them down. A $10 BayBus handles 4 fans. If you don't want to bother modding it into your front panel, just tape in onto the floor of your case on top of some insulating material.
