I moved up from a 1040 to a Mega ST2 and was annoyed by the the fan.
Then I bought a hard drive and was annoyed even more by noise of the
hard drive unit (yes it has a fan) and by the noise of the FaST drive's
fan.  I always assumed I could cure the problem by drilling a hole in
the wall and then putting the hard drive on the other side  |:^) .
