Just replaced the stock fan in my duo a couple of days ago with a Fractal Design Silent Series 60mm fan and everything is working great! Actually it´s better than great! The duo with two 500gb barracudas installed are running much cooler now, 35-36C as opposed to 40-41C with the stock fan with no modification to the automatic fan speed controls. And the best part is; it is almost quiet! It is almost as if the disks are noisier than the fan :) I have been really annoyed about the noise of the stock fan, especially as they market the duo as quiet! "Our designers went so far as to sleep with the Duo at night to make sure it was quiet so you can be sure it can fit in discretely anywhere in your home." yea right!
My advice to everyone out there, buy a new fan! But be careful, look for a fan that moves enough air to cool your drives!

Vilken fläkt använde du, har du några bilder på modificationen? Vissa har satt ett expanderinsrör bakom med en större fläkt på. Eller bytte du den internt enbart?
Jag bytte enbart ut originalfläkten mot en tystare av samma storlek. Altså behövde jag inte göra några andra modifieringar. Jag har också hört att vissa har lyckats få dit sörre fläktar, om du lyckas får du gärna höra av dig.
