put small rubber cushins between the case and the fan around the screws or around the outter side of the fan casing

I wonder if the mainboard is not mounted properly (i.e., using all of the mounting points available on the mianboard).

Which reminds me: A good quality case will dampen noise more effectively than those cheap 20buck cases.

You could always add a little insulation to the inside panels of your existing case though.

Another idea (it´s what I did to my BP6... but beware, it´s ugly

: I took a synthetic sponge and cut off four pieces for each fan and fixed them between heatsinks and fans with heat resistant glue. Advantages: The sponge probably transfers less vibration without any screws. And the sponge is aging slower than rubber. And the sponge was available when the idea came to my mind one night...

lol

use whatever comes to mind

another good idea is to use a sponge WITH screws... just a thin layer would make an incredible amount of difference
