I'm looking for a 386 or 386sx that's quiet. I'd be grateful for
suggestions, or recommendations of things to look for. I've used a
Gateway 386 and found its fan loud and its hard disk noisy, though
perhaps a different hard drive would be quieter? I've also used a Zenith
386-SX and had no complaints about the hard disk but have felt the fan
could have been quieter. 

Sometimes I walk into a colleague's office and can't carry on a quiet
conversation because the computer is roaring! Surely there are solutions
to this problem.
