I bought them from newegg in a two pack and got rid of one of the noisiest things in my frontends.<br>

I have a diskless frontend (using pxe and ltsp, not a thumb drive) in an antec nsk2480 (<a href="http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product1.php?id=MzI=">http://www.antec.com/Believe_it/product1.php?id=MzI=</a>) and it's just about silent. My dlp tv has a small fan that is actually much louder than the case+included ps+athlon x2 with stock fan. I say "much louder", but in reality I can't hear either over what I'm watching even at low volume levels. People tend to REALLY underestimate how much noise a HD makes.<br>
