I replaced the fan with a 4cm titan fan which i power at 7v using
a Y-cable between the motherboard and the HDD.
A lot quieter and still as cool (maybe cooler?)
if only i could find a silent HDD. but seagate's baracuda IV/V are
hard to find lately.
anyone has a recommandation on HDD choice? 30G is plenty enough.
