I shoved in a 7806 into my PSU's fan on my 486. The whole computer was 
DEAD silent, after the hard drives went to sleep.

Several months later, the PC started hanging randomly. Upon closer
inspection, the enamel on one of the coils in the PSU got too hot and
cracked, resulting in arcing that probably destabilised the power going
to the motherboard causing errors. 

oh well...

After that I just shoved the whole PC in a cupboard and ran the leads out 
through a cutout. Worked beautifully. Makes the room look neater while heating 
up my clothes. :)
