There is a difference between the CPU fan, which is loud when it 
cycles, and the power supply fans, which can range from silent to 
very loud. There are a lot of people, including me, that are very 
upset about the noise. My Dual 1 GHz is in the shop waiting for a new 
PS to see if that can quiet it down. I will return it if it does not, 
as it is too loud to use in my house. Pretty disappointing from a 
company that promotes quiet computing. (The wall rattling startup 
"Bong" is another irritating noise.)
