Ah, I should have realized that!  :]

Anyway, it really is VERY quiet.  You can hear that it's on, but I
think I can hear the wind outside the window more than I can anything
coming from the box.  It's REALLY quiet, maybe 5-10db's ?  I don't
have a device to measure, but it's quiet.

And the question above about the video card, it's got generic onboard
video, supplied from Intel, nothing fancy at all.  That ATI would
probably be about the same since there isn't going to be much video
hardware acceleration out of either chip.
