Default How To Quiet My System?

I've never really been concerned about the amount of noise generated by my system(s), but I'll soon be gaining a room-mate, who probably won't be as big a fan of it as I am (no pun intended). This means I should probably start thinking about what I should to to quiet down my system a bit.

To make the situation even better, I've never really paid much attention to cooling stuff, since I was just fine with pumping thousands of CFM through my case in the past, to get the job done.

So, I ask, what do you all suggest I do, in order to quiet down my system?


My (noise-generating components of my) system is as follows:

::3dCool.com Tornado 3000 (essentially this, but one front 80mm intake fan, two side 120mm intake fans, one rear 80mm exhaust)

::Kinwin 450W, 3-fan PSU (here)

::Two CoolerMaster CoolDrive 2 (here)

::Some copper HSF I don't even remember the model of...(pictured here)

::LeadTek GeForce 4 Ti4600 (here)

::4x Western Digital 800jb (here, click on Dimension & Environment)

::2x Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8 (here)

[Note: hard drives may be replaced soon by 4-6, 200-250 GB, 7,200 RPM, ATA/100-sATA hard drives]


I think that's all the stuff that produces noise (except optical drive, which I don't care about).
