I have had 4 computers over the last 8 years and I am persisently suffering from fan problems. The bearings either blow or they are just so loud.

I live in a clean environment with little dust, heat or cold but they always seem to go.

How can I get a quiet computer. Its driving me crazy.
 
Each computer I've had. I dont know what to do.

I'm now considering ditching desktops but I actually prefer them to laptops.
 
What types of fans do you buy? What types of bearings do these fans have? I personally spend a relatively good deal of money on fans - say $20 per 120mm fan. This way I can get quality fans that are both quiet and move a decent amount of air.
 
diduknowthat hit the nail on the head... Quality fans tend to mean better longevity. Typically larger, slower fans tend to last longer than small, fast-spinning fans. Plus running fans at anything under their max-speed tends to help pro-long their life. But perhaps the biggest factor is dust. Try to clean out the case every couple months...perhaps more if you notice high amounts of dust building up.
