I was just thinking how many other sources of noise I have in my home -
microwave, washing machine, dishwasher, clothes drier, fridge etc. and how
people don't typically complain about the noise that they make.
That's because we don't generally sit right next to them, so maybe that's the
issue with current computers - not the noise they make, but the fact that it's
intrusive because it's right next to us for extended periods.
Maybe the solution isn't to make PCs quiet, but simply to get them out of the
darn way :-)

I just sold
30# of aluminum heatsink approx 8" wide x 4" high x 5' long for
$40.00. 9 other identical pieces were scrapped out for about $15.00 each. My
understanding is that they were in the $100.00 + catagory when new.
And that sounds like it was for stock extrusions. If you add all sorts
of machining so the heatsink actually touches the processor, you can
add a bunch more on to the price.
Fans are cheap and effective.
