well since most likely iam not going to get water cooling this yr and i dont want to move my parts into the p-180 i got sitting in my room, i wanna upgrade my wave master.

iam looking to line the insides of it with sound dampening material like soundmat or something. get those rubber anti-vibration covers for the PSU and fans and maybe even replace a fan AGAIN. http://sharkacomputers.com/vavidafanac8.html

i wouldnt mind getting a new fan controller either, my sunbeam lightbus drives me nuts with the wineing i get from my fans when i slow them down - i guess thats undervolting right?

my CNPS7000B-CU LED is getting loud'ER on me and i had to slow it down last night with fan mate to fall asleep. i guess i can keep on doing that since its a nise HSF.
my asus 7800gtx top has a arctic silver HSF on it soo thats whisper quiet.
i took the front 2 intake fans out in favor of flipping the harddrives.
so then i got a rifle bareing CM 80mm on the back as exhaust and 92mm TT silentcat on the top as intake - it doesnt fit too well into the bracket that comes with the CM so i had to mod it a bit, i might switch back to a 80mm Nexus since i hear they are quiet and respond well to undervolting.

so i guess the only thing left to do is stick on dynamat or watnot everywhere possible or wat?
 
Dunno, a bunch of reviews I have read on the sound dampening mats say that the effect is marginal at best. If you feel like taking a dremel to the case, I would say mod it so that it will accept 120mm fans as intakes and exhausts. Cut a blower hole in the top, perhaps above the PSU if appropriate and mount a fan on that. Cut a hole in the bottom of the case and run a 120mm fan on that. Lower your ambient temperature if possible (rid a duct from the AC, window, attic, whatever).
