Yep Kent. I get it. I was being a bit lazy, I confess, and looking for some body with a "number".
Well, happy to say, I can now be that guy. I put a 25 ohm 1W resistor in line with the V+ and now the fan still spins along happily but can't be heard at more than a few inches away. This hasn't been stress tested I will admit and it may be different on anyone else's fan but it can certainly be a starting point.
Now that I have a nicely packaged, very functional music server, that might be the end of my RPI experiment. I'm just not sure how it fits into my music play back world.
Thanks to all for all the help.
