I love the picutre but hate the fan noise. Anyone have any ideas if swapping out the fan for a quieter one is an option? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I was somewhat bothered by how loud the 7205's fans are also. It seems like its at its noisiest when i first start it up then it slows down. I usually keep the temp in our theater room around 75, It does get louder if I dont turn on the AC though.

If your not concerned about voiding the warranty I suppose you could try swapping in some ultra quiet computer fans. I dont notice it when a movie is playing of the tv is on so its not really a problem for me unless the sound is turned down. If you change the fans out let us know how it went.

Perhaps your mounting is creating some of the hot exhaust to be recirculated back and hence the fan runs faster?

The projector is your typical ceiling mount with no obstructions to the vents. I'll give it a shot and open the box up to see if the fans can be replaced with a quieter version.
