I'm a light sleeper too. I might give it a go sometime :p I've got an intake and exhaust fan (not loud mind) but they do cause a bit of a whirr. The Zalman "flower" cpu cooler is fantastically quiet though - my HDD makes more noise than it does! :p
 
Post in OC&C. I'm sure they'll quieten it for you. Or CC and they'll mod it for you. :)

My pair of CM Stackers are way quieter than my old beige boxes. Lots of 1500 RPM fans. :)
 
What intake and exhaust fans do you have?

Might be able to get some quieter ones?

If they have restrictive grills on them that can cause a lot of wind noise, which tbh, I find, is usually where most of the noise comes from.

Also of interest: Oiling PC Fans (Dan's Data is an independant review site, not classed as a competitor is it?)

I found that oiling my fans made them a hell of a lot quieter and therefore obviously more efficient.
 
Yeah thats what I meant as long as you feel comfortable hacking your case a little and personally I tend to avoid it if it's part of the outside of the case (it's usually just the internal metal framework thats the problem) cause then it looks ugly... Style > Practicality :p
