This article reaches the same conclusions I did while developing a quiet PC product.
If you're thinking of quieting a PC, here's something to consider: Human hearing is approximately logarithmic, so reducing the sound output by half doesn't correlate to half the perceived loudness.
Many people start down the road of silencing their system, only to find that it's more work than they thought. I was one of them:-)
