Keywords: which fan is least obnoxious?

The extremely annoying whine my Mac+ has recently begun making when 
it warms up seems be telling me that the flyback transformer is 
gonna blow if I don't cool it.  So, as much as I hate fans (I'm a 
soulmate of Jobs on this issue), I figure it's better to pay for a 
fan rather than pay to replace the transformer, or worse, the whole 
power supply board.

My main concern in getting a fan is noise; I'd like the quietest,
least obnoxious one available.  From my understanding of the
piezoelectric fans available, they aren't up to the task of really
cooling a Mac down, so I guess I'm resigned to finding one that's
more effective and less quiet.

So, any suggestions?  What fans should I consider?  Or should I
reconsider the piezos?  Or might the whine be something other than
the flyback?

This is certainly an old issue, so please don't post responses; mail
them, and I'll summarize any exciting thoughts.


Thanks.
