I too had the noise and at first it scared me to think something was 
wrong with my new iBook 800.  I have owned it now for about 7 months 
and in that time the fan has only come on twice.  I still don't know 
why it came on at those times.  As usual here it sits nice and quiet!

I recall that one of the times the fan came on I had just switched back 
to os X from 9.  I rebooted shortly there after and the fan stopped for 
the rest of the day.

I'll agree that it is indeed a blow dryer!
