Quieter fans than the usual crap, different heat sinks that don't depend so much on fans, things that don't actually require fans, etc. It's going to get harder as CPU speeds go up, and software bloats to accommodate it. It, unavoidably, means more heat. I have an old 500 MHz box that's almost silent, and without having to do much handiwork to the box to achieve it (one quiet fan in the box, with home made ducting to aim it right on the hot spot). I think that vintage gear is about the last range of gear that was easy to do that with. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
