Re: Got a noisy fan in your PC

[steve.cooper@xxxxxxx]

I had one of the P4 2.2Ghz Dell GX240 sat on my desk this morning.  I
have
to agree it was very quiet you couldn't even hear the hard drive
spinning
when I was copying some files to it over the network.  Nice hinge
action on
the cases as well although the use of plastic quick fit mountings for
the
drive casings might cause a problem if your in the habit of wiping the
drives in and out.
