Alright just added a second pc fan for exhaust. I made a foam frame around it hoping it would make it quiet and it did but i was wondering if anyone had any other tips to make it almost silent

I was thinking i could suspend it with something so it making less vibration which would make less noise.

Is it on a 12V power adapter? I put mine on 9V power adapters. It makes it a good bit quieter. It also reduces the CFMs by 25%, so make sure you still have enough ventilation.

Didnt get enough power from the cell phone charger. Forgot to add its like a dual fan from a 360. so i hooked it up to just a dc adapter or w/e seemed to work better for me. but thanks man.
