They're very clever machines.  I have a stack of 3 to my left
here.  They're
P4 1.6GHz machines, and I can't hear them over the sound of my
typing.  The
way they've done it is using very nice heatsinks (paper thin and lots
of
blades), and channeling the air inside the case.  Open it up and have
a look
inside.  You can copy ideas from them and channel the air with paper
and
masking tape.  It's amazing what you can do to quieten a machine for
under
10 pence!
