Swapped the case fan out today for a 120mm Corsair SP120, probably half the airflow but definitely less than half of the noise. No noticeable difference in either the temperature reading on the integral Raspberry Pi or the reported temperatures of the cores. Nice side effect of reducing the power consumption by almost 20W. Most of the noise now comes from the cheap fan on the cheap PSU, which incidentally produces a lot of the heat in the case - probably as a result of it being so inefficient. Gonna wait until everyone is in bed and then take an accurate reading of power consumption of the device. Hardware errors are running at about 1.54% at 1200Mhz.
Hopefully there is room enough to replace that cheap power-supply with a decent one.
I will probably replace the fan with a 120mm Scyte S-Flex.
When I get crazy enough I will just take out the 2 blades and build them in a decent box, and throw out the RPI.
I still have to wait until Monday, the box is already in Amsterdam, I will phone DPD to see if I can pick it up today myself.
Edit: DPD is not answering the phone during the weekends
