Heh. I'm not *that* much of a nerd quite yet. ;-)
No, the multiple fans make too much noise. (Not to mention the two blue
LEDs illuminate the entire room sufficiently to enable photopic vision...)

1) Move it to another room?
2) Buy a quieter case. There are ones which are really quiet.

You can't possibly believe this is difficult to solve.

This requires the avilability of a room to move it to. (This isn't my
house, remember?)

Well, buy a whole new PC perhaps... This one is powered by a lowly
Athlon64 X2 4200+. Cutting edge a while back, but obsolete now.
Most of the noise, however, comes from the GPU fan. And the 4 HDs...

There is no noticable variation in the loudness of the system. It sounds
just as loud under no load as it does with 100% CPU and GPU load and all
drives thrashing madly.

No. But given the noise problem, I have little incentive to dismantle
the case to try to figure out how to disable the fan LEDs without
disabling the fans themselves.

Erm, electrical tape? (Wasn't this discussed here recently?)

Running Windows? Go google for "speedfan" and throw it on there. It takes
some playing to get right, sometimes.

Have you ever heard of ... electrical tape? Blue light is blocked by some
very tiny bits of matter.

OOI I switched off Vista's UAC to install the new Beta and speedfan reported the
HDD temp. When I switched UAC on again only the core temperature showed.

Are you running speedfan as administrator? I do believe Vista has some weird
ideas about what's privileged and what isn't. :-)
