Just a nit to pick here, but I see this myth floated out there a lot.  A mac
mini is not silent.  It is extremely quiet under light load, but it sounds
like a jet aircraft when its fan starts going.

Additionally, most of its quietness comes from the fact that it isn't nearly
as small as advertised.  It doesn't have an internal power supply, but an
external power brick that is half the size of the computer!
