Also, you must have different/newer fans in yours - mine make a hell of a racket! I will agree with being slow :-) I find that it's not too bad though. Unfortunately I don't have the space to get the 4000/90 up and running. I too had noisy fans, but after a healthy dose of contact cleaner and oil they are almost silent. Maybe they just need a good clean? I wonder if that's what mine needs. It probably is. The stuff coming out of mine was scary! I'm trying to remember if the PS was totally dead, or if it was howling to the point I couldn't run it in the dining room (actually that wouldn't be a problem now that it lives in the garage). I've been wondering if the fans are replaceable. I was able to find the fans in the parts catalogue of the local electronics store. The only thing is, the fans sit in a small rubber sleeve that holds then in the power supply. Don't throw away the sleeve! The fans slip right out. Tim.
