Now imagine you are in a world where life-sized people with full size tower
cases serviced by 4 fans (1 blowing in at the front, 1 on the CPU, 1 on the
power supply and an auxillary exhaust fan at the rear of the case) want to
apply a thin layer of sound-deadening material to the removeable panels on
either side of the case, nowhere near any hot electronic devices and well out
of the flow of air through the case, in order to dampen the high-pitched
whine of assorted rapidly spinning parts.

If you don't know where to find the foam, that's okay. I appreciate all the
help with the physics.
