Large slow fans are lovely and the most expensive fans from people who worry about these things often rotate very slowly pushing a large amount of air. Small fans are problematic: if they need to move quantities of hot air, they can only do this with high rotational speed and thus noise. QuietPC are worth looking at just to see the range of quiet fans. Likewise Overclockers or similar. All best, as ever, Andy Cater
