Small little air pump, or large computer fan, outdoors (where you don't hear it), sucking through an air filter, with an air hose coming (like the hoses used in swimming pools) inside branching off to all the PCs, to blow cool air into them. I've not tried that myself, yet, but intend to. I've read about others doing that sort of thing. The nearest I've got is ripping out all the fans in a box, but one, and ducting it around inside the box. That makes quite a difference to the noise. -- (Currently testing FC5, but still running FC4, if that's important.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
