western digital = LOUD!
if you want something silent.. look elsewhere
i finally got some quiet fans for my system... and i found out that my hard drive was making most of the noise.. it makes this high pitched sound...
yeah.. I used to have a IBM 60gxp, and when I replaced a bunch of my fans with these quiet panaflo fans, I realized that alot of the noise (specifically the high pitched whine) was actually coming from the HD.. Then later I got a larger WD drive and it was even louder!
now, I'm waiting for my new seagate to be delivered..
btw, if anyone wants a comparison of teh noise put out by hd's go to www.storagereview.com , click performance database, then sort by Idle Noise
