I have a Cube sitting here from years ago with not a fan in it, and with a barracuda hard drive, the thing is silent.
There were hundreds of computers with one or no fans back in "the day" where megahertz was what really counted, not gigahertz. Hard drives WERE the loudest part.
Now we seem to have left all that behind in the name of going faster. My LCIII can still check mail, and I can still do graphic design on my cube.

I like my lower power bill and quieter room.
