Okay here is the deal,
I have a Digital Audio that I upgraded to a dual 867, just recently I noticed the exhaust fan (the one on the power supply) is working intermediately. I'm worried that it's going to stop all togther and my computer is going to overheat and blow up. Is it possible to replace this fan instead of having to buy a new power supply? If so, where can I purchase these fans, and is it possible to get the ultra quiet ones and replace all the fans all together? Since I did the upgrade, my computer got quite noisy with the addition of the new fan on the heat sink, and I would like to just do a complete overhaul.
Thanks!
Bill

You can buy fans at any decent "real" PC store. The snag is that quiter fans often means lower air output. So if you go all ultraquite Pabst fans there is a risk of overheating the computer

Take a look at http://www.materiel.be/refroid/120mmfans_2/page1.php
They test 27 120 mm fans and also link to test of other sizes. ( If your french is as good as mine let Google translate the conclusions)

I think you can get a very quite computer if you combine quiter fans with for example a quite PCI slot fan, that will help the other fans to get the hot air out.

I am not familiar with the DA layout. The dual 1.25 has the PCI slots at the top (good for the slot fan) the air intake at the bottom of the front and out all over the backside. Organized!
The G4/400 AGP has the PCI slots at the bottom. the air intake is at the front and on the left side of the bottom poorly organized compared to the dual but then meant for one for 3 drives instead of 6.
