Hi Ken,
I've read that sinking it in an oil bath reduces the noise and gets rid
of the heat quite well...
Sunflower oil is OK but pure Aceite De Oliva Espanol Moro Pure Olive oil
is best.
Make sure it's the 100% pure (no cholesterol) so you can also drain it
six monthly and cook some hot chips
There are higher power internal case power supplies too have a look at the
Zalman and Silverstone offerings below, I bought a 600w silverstone a while
ago and it's single 120mm fan is quieter than my cpu fan.

is a new one i
Have a look at your case too... I've found the same fan in a good case is MUCH
quieter.
My $200 Antec case (PS not included) is much quieter than the $60 cheapie. I'll never buy another
cheap case.

Take a look at the Noctua range on 120m fans.
I'd also replace the GPU fan/heatsink as they are noisy even when idle.

I have found it helps to draw the curtains when there is a full moon. ;)

If it's mostly the 2am noise that bothers you,
the first thing you might try is turn off whatever
is scheduled at that time. Popular offenders are
prelinking and manpage indexing but there are many
other possibilities. Turn them off or move them to
say 10am in the morning when no one is around.
larger fans are quieter than smaller fans, and much cheaper than liquid
cooling
you can also get extremely large cpu coolers that will reduce noise.

My computer is too noisy. It is not graphics because it is not used
much and when it does there is enough background noise. It is the power
supply and cpu fan that kicks in with cron at 2 am in the morning.
I was thinking about adding fluid cooling, is this worth it or else
