On the question of noise... Just spent a few days reinstalling software on a friends PC. Had the machine running all the time, while I did some work on my cube nearby. Today, I just switched off the PC. My god! The whole world has suddenly become so peaceful and quiet again. It reminded me why I love the fan-free cube so much. It is very easy to get accustomed to the background noise of a fan, but I for one would never want to go back. Cube forever! (and when will they bring out the G5 cube???)
