Good tips on silencing here, thanks guys. Where were you when i started this thread [webmasterworld.com]? :)

As for the GeForce FX 5200, i've got one. It has a small fan, about one inch wide, and it makes a very annoying noise. It's not loud, but it's very high pitched (high frequency) and constant. Personally, i'll be taking it out of the case completely, i'm not into 3D games or anything, so i've got no use for it, really. After that, i'll just have to figure something out allowing passive cooling of the CPU.

All this said only to make the point that you should consider noise. It's your work environment, after all, and having a noisy PC sitting right next to you for something like hours just isn't good.
