i mentioned this briefly in a different post (http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=79197) but here is a duct i made for a alpha 8045... for whatever reason, i could not figure out why, my temps were much worse when i put it on my heatsink....
i bought some of that magic fleece stuff from plycon.com and it did reduce the soundlevel briefly on my pc but because of all of the case fans i have, it did not work very drastically.
i have a 92mm blowhole on the top of my pc. what i did, was essentially put the duct on top of the blowhole but inside the duct, i put some of the magic fleece in it. This cancelled the fan noise probably 70%.
i highly recommend other people w/ blowholes try this... if you dont wanna spend all the $$$ on magic fleece, than try it w/ foam or carboard.... oh yeah, the duct needs to be pretty long so it can suck up more and more sound... here are some pics of it... it is not the prettyest thing in the world, but hey, if it works
