For the record, the Mirrored Drive Door (MDD) and FireWire800 (FW800) models are the ones known for their fan noise (also called "windtunnel" models). The QuickSilvers (QS) aren't usually too bad. One thing that makes the fan in the windtunnel models even more annoying is that the fan speed constantly cycles up and down as the processor heats up and cools off. I don't remember it doing that in earlier models. -- Rich
