im not sure exactly how the fans are set up in your computer, but in my 
QS i know you can get fans (especially the one that is on the heat 
sink) that can directly replace the stock ones but are quieter and pull 
more air.

there are a number of articles at the above link regarding cooling. 
many are "mirrored drive door" specific, but the same concept can be 
applied to any machine.
