ABSOLUTELY! My HP mini-tower has what is called a whisper quiet fan and it is very quiet. It certainly does not interfere with conversation, even when carried on across our open office between desks ten feet apart.
And yet, when I power down the machine at the end of the day, the sudden quiet is priceless. It's a sudden cessation of audio pressure removed the moment it stops. That background something one grows used to and learns to ignore, but it's neither desirable or pleasant. Like anything that increases stress, learning to ignore it does not mean it is no longer causing harm. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Computers quiet? Obviously have not heard mine. I have tried to get after-market fans that were advertised as "quiet", but no luck. Even some that others swore were much quieter. Apparently that which actually makes a fan quiet is not part of quality control. I've seen two fans of the same model number that simply don't look the same. Go figure. I've given up. Until I can go into a store and somehow listen to the exact one I'm buying, I don't believe any of the advertising. 73, Guy. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
