Hey man, be sure and discharge the caps before cracking the PSU open. I'd hate to see the forum loose on of it's more insightful posters. Drew Lennart Sorensen wrote:

The most noisiest fan on my computer is the CPU fan. What do you recommend for a CPU fan?

A brand name ball bearing fan (sleeve bearings don't last long and start vibrating). I discovered the cause of my Dad's noisy machine is actually the power supply fan (after replacing a few of the others). Annoyingly it is soldered in so I guess I will have to cut and splice the wires for a new fan in there.

bigfoot computers has a nice selection of fans and such btw.
