  1. Frankly...I like the noise by number_man · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It has a soothing, droning quality. In my home (office) I have a PC that sounds like a harrier (sp) in the midst of full-throttle vertical take-off.

    It has a desperate need for cooling with two athlons, four hard drives and two cd/dvd media drives (in a mid-size tower) -- I need all the fans I can get...

    Anyway, I like the noise...It gives me a sense of controlling some level of power, power that requires this level of noise to tame...
