My SiS-based Pundit also has a fan in the PSU, which runs at 100% all
the time. The CPU fan is controlled by Q-Fan, but even at low-level
(~1900RPM) I found it rather noisy.

 I run my 2Ghz Celeron on 250Mhz most of the time, unless it's needed
(which isn't very often because the hard work is being done by my
PVR-350).

I've exchanged the CPU-fan with a Verax-fan, which are _very_ quiet
(but also _very_ expensive). I still haven't decided if I'll exchange
the PSU-fan as well; because of it's formfactor, it's difficult to
replace.
