well, ill take a different angle then simply upgrading the fans

have your tried insulating the case walls with a foam or something, i would
recommened the stuff that they pack mobo's in, it non conductive/static,
impossibly cheap, use your own or go to a computer store and if they arent
tight arses they would give you some for free

if that doesnt work, which i know it will work a bit ( that bit might be
enough or not) head for some low rpm, high CPM rating fans, one onf the cpu
and one blowing the air out the case and one coming in, and you should be
right
