Some fan noise seems to be "vibrational" and transmitted through the case, but a lot of it seems to be carried into the room by the exhaust stream itself. ...
Following on from that exhaust shroud "jetPort" idea, I found myself looking at an old 80mm fan and wondering if that might make a suitable external exhaust...

It's possible that the fan mechanism will unduly impede the airflow. After all, you're effectively reducing the cross-sectional area by a *lot*. However, the...

I suspect it may be thermal recalibration. As you know, materials change size as they heat up or cool down. Hard drives from time to time automatically go...
