I can relate to that.. Win7 box has 80mm fans which are a lot louder than the 120mm fans in same box and server.. still they all add up to noise! Was looking at full tower cases on pccasegear.com.au yesterday.. plenty now come with 20cm+ fans at 16dBA. Nice!
Was looking at a sleeve adapter which allows you to fix 120mm fan to 80mm outlet (a bit like a reducer used with plumbing pipes). Just found one on www.PCcasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=9_72.. cheaper than eBay too!
