Anyone have experience with fan replacement on their S3?  I have "free" power in my apartment, making the location attractive to use, but my wife is not happy with the amount of noise generated by my pair of S3's.  

I'm having trouble locating actual specs on the stock fans in order to find an equivalent (but quieter) replacement.
You'll be hard-pressed to find many fans that make less noise than the S3s and still keep it cool enough.  You might try putting something in front of them to buffer the noise.  Maybe a shelf with a rug hanging off to absorb noise.  Just be careful to not block airflow.
