I have 7 fans excluding the PSU fan and here I am with a silent and relative cool PC at 42-42-39-39 on the CPU and 55c on the CPU.
Mind that this is a B3 1.325v @ manually 1.325v and a hot 8800GTX G80 90nm...

I got really good flow in my case. After you get wires out of the way to remove MOST of the turbulence, it helps out a lot.

Do you use the stock Antec fan on the top of that case? (I'm assuming that's your sig rig)

Just buy sound dampenings. They are pads that stick the chassis and will definately make the sound quiet. I have considered getting one.

Your PSU is upside down.

And if you start about ATX form factors....

Anyone who read the CM690 thread lately will get that statement.

Loudest thing in mine is the Enzotech SB heatsink w/4cm fan.
HR-05 SLI is on its way.
