LOL - Try _7_ case fans (2 for the HDs, 2 exhaust, 1 on top, and 2 on the side),
plus a 115CFM CPU cooler, plus a PS with 2 fans.  Oh yea, and the motherboard
has a fan (nVidia chipset), and the VRM has a fan too!

And it's still not as loud as my Dual PIII 1.0Ghz, with 2 Delta 7,200RPM CPU
fans...
