I find them both somewhat on the noisey side, and the CPU fan in particular has an annoying drone...

One article I read suggested changing the CPU (80mm) one for a Nexus one...

I'd be interested in hearing about anyones mods!?

ps: My PSU is the original 200W one with a single 40mmx10mm fan...

In a SN41G2 I replaced the 80mm fan with a Noctua one and I replaced the psu 40mm fan with a papst one and put a 5v resistor on it system ran pretty hot though and had to put the psu fan on full again on hot days or it would crash.
