Fan noise is one of the few things I'm reluctant to compromise on when building a computer. I'm not big into gaming or overclocking these days so my most recent builds have all featured low-end graphics cards and stock CPU clocks.
My appreciation for a quiet system became even more apparent after living with a couple of Litecoin mining rigs for the past month. A machine that can be heard outside your front door can certainly challenge your sanity.
