Performed Mods:

Lightweight packing foam sheets for sealing the case - anti dust measures (Check pic 9, 10, 11), Removed HDD LED (too bright), replaced the stock Tricool, installed 4 silicone grommets on the akasa amber, using silicone fan mount to hold fan back as retention, removed acceleroS1 black plastic parts (check image 12), installed anti vibration grommets on tricool, 2x foam blocks in 5'25 bay, to prevent dust, angled HDD installation (45 degrees, check image 14),

Hello... so guys here it is. Please read through the "performed mods" part before you vote. Anyway this system has gone through some minor upgrades to the CPU. I also worked out a way of completely eliminating the Akasa's (front fan) vibration. The system with the akasa turned down to a low 1000RPM completely shuts up and stays silent =D. Please comment, and vote guys :)

hmm... since I changed the fan, to an LED fan i doubt think it really is "subtle" (apart from the fact its silent) =
