I've got to fix this, both for my sanity and to save face!

Cary, the fans are very quiet. My guess is that the blades on the fan 
are hitting, due to the lack of proper mounting, or spacing. Also, 
visually check to make sure no wires are touching the fan blades. I have 
this happen a lot at work on many computers.
But visually check those fans. Spin the blades manually, there should be 
no binding.
