After reading the archives on replacing cooling fans. I took the plunge on my PowerTowerPro. The results are phenomenal. After years of listening to the 747 engines running. I can hear the silence. A very worth while upgrade. As others had recommended I used the PowerOn 80 mm � "Silencer" fans. (http://www.power-on.com)
The project was very straight forward as described in the archives. It requires a little soldering, as you need to use the original PowerComputing connectors on the fans, but other than that it's a very doable project. At $10.00 each for the fans, it's a really dramatic improvement for little cost. The new "Silencer" series fans actually move more air for less power consumption than the OEM Nidec fans. I would recommend it to anyone bothered by the noise of the PowerTowerPro series.
