TigerDirect.com also sells some quiet stuff now.
I think the trick is to use larger fans than those normally provided
(usually 60mm). Larger fans are quieter, can spin slower and still
move more air. I have a dual-cpu system with 80mm fans over the
CPUs and it is much quieter than with the stock fans. However,
these are P3's. I am not sure how to graft a larger fan onto a P4.
