[QUOTE="hudson, post: 384927, member: 30705"] Hi, Does anyone else have experience with an imac with 750gb drive? Wanting a very quiet computer, and seeing a review at silentpcreview.com, which stated the imac was 'near silent', I bought a 24" model with the largest internal drive available. The problem is, it's nowhere near as silent as I'd hoped. There's a definite hum, above the slight whoosh of the fans, which I think is the sound of the hard disk spinning. While not incredibly loud, it does rather dominate an otherwise quiet room when sitting a couple of feet away from the screen. This doesn't seem to tally with what I read about 'near silence', so my question is, is the 750gb option known to be louder than the imac with the 250 or 500gb drives? [/QUOTE]
