I saw a Compaq 6400 with an XP1800 and a 40 gig HD the other day and it was dead silent. When I hit the button the LED's lit up but I actually thought it was dead. I had to lean my ear toward the PS to see if it was running. I know there is no way it runs as cool as many DIY system builders in here who go to the ends of the earth to cool their AMD's, but this was unbelievable. Anyone actually opened one up to see what OEM's do to make AMD's so quiet? Anyone ever checked the cpu temp on one of these?
I started to pop it open but I figured the sales person wouldn't have appreciated it much.
