Hmmm, never had a Cube, but my 20 incher is quiet for the first hour, but after that the temperature climbs and I can definitely hear the fans. The noise is not obtrusive, but it's a bit louder than I expected. More hot air out of right side. My wife lamp iMac is quieter. I am using Hardware Monitor (not yet fine-tuned for this model) and it shows a high of 143.6° F and doesn't go higher. Once, during the first week, the fans really roared once, but I can't remember the reason.
