The first impression is that the fans stop going full blast once the BIOS is done and the regular operating system starts doing its thing. There's still some sound though, For now I've set the system to just run while I take care of a few other bits and pieces. Most likely I'll give it more modern storage options (new or almost new, not from the pile of reused ones) before I put it to its intended use, and I suspect the newer units (SSD and low energy disks) will run a bit cooler and more silent still. > I'm interested in purchasing this little box myself but > this always put me off and I've not seen much of those bug-reports > recently so perhaps HP already solved the issue? Thanks! Karel There are indications that there is a newer BIOS version available, I'll probably get around to try that some time during the next few days. I'll report back if I notice any difference. - P -- Peter N. M.
