Re:Err, they're not really THAT noisy... (Score 1)

all it comes down to is the moving parts chips are silent and thyresistors are silent but fans and hardrives and CDROMS are noisy as can be 6gig and up hardrives are pretty well noisless in-fact it frightens sometimes i miss my old 2gig clunker that tells me when it sweeps and adjusts to heat and such. but CDROMS drive me nuts in games that dont know how to $ and use the cd properly.classic spin up spin down turn off turn on spin up spin down clunk a few times... its enough to throw me over the edged. good bearings, less rpm and less spin up lead to a happy eklro. but if your annoyed by fans then think about a charged air force for ur cooling or peltier. however, consider your carrier in a library since that is where your going to find it as quiet as you like
