[ale] cpu underclocking (silent pc in the makeing)

[Matt Magee]

If you could find a quiet(er) fan to mount internally and direct the incoming 
to pass through the back of the PS you may be able to reduce noise 
significantly without causing much added stress to the PS. Not "silent", but 
could be a good compromise between decibels and component life.  You may also 
be able to significantly reduce fan noise by slowing the fan down.  If you 
find the right resistance, you could cut it down enough to give almost silent 
operation.
