there's no fans in the chassis other than the tiny CPU heat sink cooling fan. it doesn't run at high speed when i'm doing my normal activities (typing, browsing, listening to music or some minor data crunching) just once in a while does the fan kick up to higher speed where i hear it and that is when i'm booting the computer up and also once in a while when browsing some sites that do something more intensive. and now when i'm uploading files to my website hosting service. by far the worst now as the others might be for a few seconds and then it shuts back off again as compared to the FTP software which when it kicks on the fan it takes five minutes or longer and that's what got me curious as i don't like to listen to that. so i want to know how to calm it down and shut it up. :) songbird
