What is the loudest component?

[PvtCupcakes]

Sometimes cases can be loud. If you get enough air moving through your case the sides can vibrate.
Newegg has some pads you can stick to the inside of your case that keeps it from vibrating.

If your PSU or fans are louder than your hard drive, your hard drive is poor.[/QUOTE]

Does this include SSD's?

All you have to do is install around five of these and then your case will be quiet

[QUOTE=he-did-it-->;20008019]OK, I opened up the case and had a listen. I think it's actually my CPU cooler.

Even though it says "quiet CPU cooler" it's pretty damn loud. Everything else sounds almost silent.[/QUOTE]

Zalman coolers are generally silent. I used them pretty much. Also, they should be able to run at different power levels. I always took the one which made them rotate less.

Make sure, if your CPU-Cooler supports PWM (4-pin connector) or not (3-pin connector).
If it's a 4-Pin connector, it is PWM-Capable and you can control it dynamically. E.g. in your BIOS, select "Silent Mode" and it will always run silent/slow and will only spin up when it is necessary.

You probably have a steel case, those are loud. I've heard that aluminium cases are more silent.
