Update: It looks like I can reclaim my 4-by-8.

After making myself read all (14 pages) of the reviews on my computer
case at Amazon, I found a fair number were disgruntled about the fan
noises even though most weren't. I think most of the buyers of this
case
have expensive (i.e. loud) graphics cards. And a couple made
reference to a long thread in a computer hardware forum. To make a
long
story short, it turns out the "noises" I was bothered by are primarily
the result of the 200mm front case fan being too close to a metal
"grid"
in front of it that was surely only there "to keep people from losing
fingers". Over it is a dust cover, so that grid really isn't really
necessary after all. So a mere 75 minutes later, I nibbled out the
grid, and now, ... , to borrow a line from B. B. King, "The shrill is
gone!". : )

Some of you were with me in spirit, if only to keep me from bloodying
myself up!! I even took a couple of breaks. Amazing what one can
accomplish with a little patience (and the Internet community).

snip, whew! That was a hard cut. I need a break.
snip, wow! another hard cut, time for another break.
snip, Hey, I wonder if the refrigerator is still running?
snip... Ah, cold refreshment... why'd I waste the first two breaks?

And that's why nothing gets done...
