My computer sounds like a blow dryer with 5 fans, 2 120MM and 3 80MM the 2 120MM are 90CFM sunon fans.
I spent alot of money on my machine over the months, only cause i bought crappy components the first time which is why im so aditment when I reccomend parts, especially power supplies. Im also Getting A+ certified and going into networking, CCNA, CCNP, CCIE, Network+, MCSA, MCP etc etc.
