80cm????? dude, thats like 2 and a half feet...I know you prolly meant mm, whatever.

Anyways, I have a ThermalTake P4 Dragon 6000rpm CPU fan that sounds like a goddam turbine. Good thing its adjustable and I have it running at 3400rpm....very, very quiet. My PC makes a nice, enjoyable hummm. Altogether I have 7 fans running and its perfect volume. Oh yea...I do care about noise.

No, I mean 80 CM - yeah it is huge (custom case- someday i should get pics uploaded of it...) but I'm very worried about heat and this way I can get 35 full load and 27 idle.

Besides, my Audigy @ Audigy2 is VERY hot
DUDE!! Are you serious?! You're not serious are you? That would be cool as heck.

LOL, I voted yes, but the 3rd option was VERY tempting.

I'm obsessed to the point where my wallet kicks in. I can't afford to replace my good harddrives with barracudas just for the sake of a few more db, especially when I'll have an old 4.5 gig scsi drive whining away in another box.
