I've seen computers (can't remember the brand, either IBM or Compaq), 
which had just one fan - in the power supply.  There was a huge heat 
sink on the CPU, and it was located in the front of the power supply to 
be blown out by its fan. That machine was _quite_.  Unfortunately, this 
solution requires non-standard case for computer and power supply.

A useful recommendation for a CPU's and other fans: have a motherboard, 
which tunes rotating speed depending on temperature.
