Look, I get it, I feel that way too sometimes, just remember that you have intentionally excluded the common mode from your analysis. It is irrelevant for choosing between options, but the fact is that all of our choices are good and cheap these days vs not too long ago, and that fact is hiding in the common mode. If you can't choose right, you can't choose wrong. Roll a dice if you must. --- End quote --- You aren't wrong. Still... |

If customers demanded silent products the market would necessitate their production. I'm guessing you are just bothered more about fan noise than most. I've built quiet PCs too--with a great deal of effort--for special purposes (HTPC/Hi-Fi room) but other than that unless it is a very whiny rack server fan, I'm not really bothered by a bit of fan noise. The only instrument I have with a truly annoying fan is an HP signal generator that sounds like a bench grinder. And as for cheapo vs A-brand, I have two Tek scopes--both over $5K new--that are noisier than either of my stock Siglents. And my Tek PS280 PSU has the loudest fan of anything on or near my bench (the HP sig gen is banished to the garage unless needed). --- End quote --- Got the message. A-brand doesn't (necessarily) mean more care for details and ergonomics. Sad. |
