  Let me tell you what I did. My two harddisks + stone age power supply
  made such a terrible noise together, I decided to shut the fan down 
  forever. I placed a switch between the power supply and the fan, so
  the fan could be turned on again when my PC starts to act strange. This
  was two years ago and nothing strange has happened; I never had to switch
  the fan back on...

  (If you try this yourself and fuck up your machine, don't blame me)
