I got a computer with a loud fan - the fan noise is 27-47 but it always goes to 47. Its a homemade built computer. The processor is 478 chipset processor (Pentium 4). The computer fan is so loud. I've looked for fans replaced it and it is still loud. I dont wanna go through the hassel of buying online because if these are loud, I'll have to send them back etc.
What can I do to soundproof my case for a low price or a cheap home-made way. I don't necessarily want to replace my case. But are there some cheap homemade ways to make my pc case quiet? If you know of FOR SURE a quality silent fan that is actually quiet please let me know as well.

Buy a better fan that runs silently.
Otherwise you could build a housing with some type of foam or sound dampening material lining it. This, as many know, is not a really good idea, it cuts down on airflow around the case of the PC. This will increase heat.

Nails and screws will flow sound by partitions so watch those. no rely if strip your door as any gaps will enable sound out. Pull the conceal plates off partitions and use caulking compound around electric powered packing packing containers which additionally we could sound out. of direction the main inexpensive concept is the headphones.

Have you considered heatpipe cooling instead of a fan? Those absolutely silent but I'd still seriously recommend a case fan to keep airflow going.
Reminder, heat and computers don't mix, airflow is a good thing.
