Quiet doesn't necessarily mean fanless. I have a Corsair H100i with Noctua fans, and you can barely tell it's on.

I've put Linux Mint on it (which is what they recommend)

Friends don't let friends use Linux Mint:

Not mentioned above: Linux Mint's upgrade policy is "format and reinstall". Their update policy is also "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it". No wonder they have internal security issues.
