As a counter point, I purchased several "quiet" fans from a specialty
site (that specialized in selling quiet components) and they worked
quiet well.  :-)

You may have also noticed the machine I demo'ed with at the last TriLUG
meeting - noticed it for how quietly it ran.  Jason Tower built that
machine, and it is so quiet, I have to put my hand behind it to make
sure the fans are working (they are!).

Take care - Jon
