I realize that more airflow is needed in the A2000 after talking to one
of the Commodore Engineers at Amy Expo. But. Isn't it possible to use
a larger fan blade unit, running at a lower RPM ? I thought that most of
the fan noise was due to turbulence at the blade edges.
Most machines (maybe I'm wrong here) will be used in a quiet office,
which isn't quiet after enough noisy fans are installed via computers.
Maybe I should be talking to the power supply vendors instead.....
I'm sure glad the A500 is nice 'n quiet....
I can even hear my A1000 sometimes. I keep it on all the time
in a small bedroom, and it takes a while to get used to (I live in the
country where the outdoor ambient noise is low).
