This model recently caught my attention. It almost perfectly fits my needs & budget. Now, a new review of it has just appeared:



If fan is not quiet enough, I found a Noctua that should do the job. Since its flow rate is a little lower, I wouldn't use it if you plan to heavily load the switch and/or use it in hotter settings:



BTW, does anyone remember when Tom's actually reviewed networking equipment? I think the last such review I saw was of 802.11n routers.
 
Ok, I couldn't wait, it's anyway the most silent and the most efficient cooling (32C) for this switch ever.
I'm impressed by your sheet metal skills!

Is that an intake fan, then? If so, I'd recommend putting a dust filter over it. You can get aftermarket fan filters, if you search. I think you probably don't even need to affix it - just resting it atop the fan is probably sufficient.
