The noise from a PC, especially very high pitched whine from hard drives, 
bothers me a lot.  So finally yesterday I bought some extension cables 
(video, keyboard, mouse, USB) and stuck my CPU into a cabinet near the desk.  
Just that alone really makes a nice difference, and I could do a lot more as 
far as making the cabinet doors tighter.

And you'll visualize not taking any chances
But meet them halfway with love, peace, and persuasion
And expect them to rise to the occasion
