I have two active cheese graters in my little work-from-home office, close enough to touch, and with the exception of the 'bad RAM' episode they never make any significant noise. (Some RAM went bad, causing the thermal management subsystem to decide to try to eject the RAM from the box via increased airflow, or so it seemed. They get LOUD when in thermal distress, either real or perceived.)
Of much greater impact was replacing my hovercraft-ey gigabit Ethernet switch with a fanless 24-port model, followed by replacing the G4 (sawtooth) with a 2014 Mac Mini. The G4's fan was nice enough as fans go, but it was always running. (The G4 doesn't have fan-speed adjustments, and everything newer does.) The G4 performed well as our backup and web server, for years, but it's now in storage. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
