The fan on my power supply has always been quite loud.  That is, it is
not grinding, but it makes a lot noise as it blows air out of the
machine.  Now that I am leaving my machine on 24hr/day, it has begus
to drive me crazy since my "office" also doubles as our living room
(gotta love campus life).

A year or so ago, I remember a thread which discussed where one could
aquire a *very quiet* fan which I could use to replace the noisy one
in my power supply.  Anybody have any pointers or references to such a
beast?  Recommendations on how to not kill my self when I open up the
power supply to replace the fan?

(alternately, I have a 386DX/33 with a WD2200AC 213mb disk drive in a
full tower case.  Do I even need the fan running in the first place?)
