I've sworn off small form factor PCs. I live in a house, not a
submarine, so space is not at such a premium that I can't afford two
cubic feet per PC. Usually bigger machines are quieter, since they
can move more air less quickly and get the same level of cooling.

I went with a Corsair water cooler for the machine in my living room,
which also serves as the backend. I've been very disappointed in the
noise level of that. I've seen one other system that uses it, and it
seemed a lot quieter, so maybe I just have a bad unit.

I had to send the first fanless GT640 back for a replacement since it
got too hot. I never had a PC component actually catch fire with
visible flames before that board. The replacement is the same model,
but seems fine.
