I suppose this isn't a problem, as much as it is a convenience thing.

I have a PC that is incredibly loud. I have heard newer dell-ish type PC's that are silent as can be.

My PC is currently housed in a cheapo 30 dollar case i picked up a few months ago and had lying around.

I have three harddrives which add to the noise quite a bit.

During normal operation, I don't mind the sound (although I wouldn't complain if it were quieter), but its when I goto sleep, and often end up shutting down the PC before I can get to sleep.

It isn't a rumbling or vibrating noise, it is just "normal" computer noise, but I figure if newer pre-built PC's can be silent, mine can too.

Are there any tip to keeping things a bit less loud? I don't want to break the bank on this one, but would love some suggestions or tips that would get this sucker to a managable decibel level at night without having to turn it off.

if you need any more specs from me, please don't hesitate to ask.


by the way, I haven't noticed any of the harddrives being particularly noise on their own, it's just the collection of them all.
