From Macintouch:
The side wall of the Apple booth dedicated to the new Mac Mini (again, Apple uses lower-case for the second "m") remained packed all day. The Mini, to me, isn't as eyecatching as most Apple products, but maybe it isn't intended to be - mostly it's small and unobtrusive. Some observations:
a. It does have a fan. An Apple staffer at the booth told me it produces 22 dB, but she wasn't sure if that's when idle, in normal use, or what. Since the only units I've seen are out on the floor, I couldn't tell how it sounds. It draws air in from vents on the bottom, along three sides of the device, and blows out through vents on the back, above the ports.

I have no info on this specific question, but G5 tower fans are so quiet, under most conditions, that I am able to work undisturbed within about 18 inches of mine, and I was irritated by my G4. If the fans in the Mac mini are as well designed and engineered, it should be OK.
I saw the Mac Mini today. It doesn't appear to HAVE a fan, which makes it VERY quiet. The outside case is metal, and it appears to be designed to dissipate heat through its case the way the PowerBooks do.
This makes the Mac Mini a VERY quiet machine.
