I use my TT 963 power supply for my 2 m rig, and various accessories, such as the meters on the dummy load, meter on the transmatch, and Model 715 speech processor, etc. I use a big linear for the transceiver. My computer fans are nearly silent (and are the very quiet type Jerry mentions.)

The only fan noise in my shack comes from my TenTec Centurion amplifier that I sometimes run. I figure those fans have specified volumes and I would probably kill it by replacing them with quiet fans that did not move enough air. That is the top-most item on my wish list - quiet, but effective fans on the linear amp. I would spend real money to be able to replace them safely and without risking damage to the unit from overheating.

Happy trails to ya.   =============== K8JHR ======================

Look for fans with serrated blades, the are often quieter.

I have a compaq computer that is very quiet next to another the seems
like it roars in comparison. Quiet fans are possible.
