[QUOTE="Phil79, post: 333019, member: 26027"] I keep reading things about the MP - "almost silent" "can't tell its on" "quietest tower i have ever heard" "have to put my ear to the case to hear anything" etc etc Well - I bought one three weeks ago - and well, are we talking about the same machine ??? In fact I was so disappointed I sent it back and got a replacement. It is the same. I can hear a gentle hum of the PSU and fan noise. None of the above descriptions are anything like it. Of course these things are subjective - but it is NOT a particularly quiet machine. I have built a "quiet" machine - fanless supply and graphics - mother of all cpu heatsinks etc And that was a lot quiter than this MP. Of course it's impossible to tell if I have had two duff machines - I really need to listen to someone else's machine and see if they are similar - it's no good going to a store because of the ambient noise. So if anyone reads this - lives in Surrey/Berkshire in the UK - and will let me listen to their machine (or come and listen to mine) - that would be nice. And of course all I do ow is sit here and get annoyed about the noise from this thing. :confused: [/QUOTE]
