I like *some* noise... (Score 1)

I dunno about other Slashdot users, but I wouldn't want a truly silent PC. Obviously it's a Bad Thing if my PC can out-noise, say, a 747 at takeoff power, but a certain level of white noise helps me sleep. I suppose it's a byproduct of growing up in a highly technology-using culture, but I'm more comfortable with some kind of background noise.
