Very quiet. I think it has three fans doing the job of one regular fan. They push more air but quieter than one strong one. I totally appreciate the idea of buying from an actual store, in my case I know the guy who builds them and I can call him if I need anything. So far everything's good.

There's a Fry's a half mile from my office and we're in there all the time for various things. The thing about Fry's is it's hard to find a virgin unopened item. They have a liberal return policy (good) but they know that 90% of the time the person returning the item has no clue about anything so they just put it back in the box, tape it up and put it back on the shelf assuming it's good. It's easy to tell that but hard to find an original packaged item. For little stuff under say $50 I'll buy the repackaged item and they usually work fine but for something that's a hundred or more like a 2 TB hard drive I'll dig through the stuff until I find an unopened one.
