No kidding! We've got four computers running in our 10x20' home office,
and when you turn them off, WOW does it get quiet! Nancy's got a 20x20'
office at our work office, and just one computer. Same thing when it is
turned off. Oddly enough, though, I have an HP desktop unit in my office
with no fan except what's on the CPU. When you put the case top on, it's
formed so that it ducts the CPU fan air out, but no other fan.
