I can hear the compressor cut on for my refrigerator, 8 feet from my 
PC, I can hear the ceiling fan chain hit the glass globes, when it 
wobbles. Most computer rooms I've been in have so much white noise I 
couldn't tell which fan was on, and besides that, I'm deaf in one ear. 
I don't think a watercooled power supply is real high on my priority 
list.. But now that I am home for a few days, I might have to replace 
the SUSE 10.0 partition on my laptop with my new Kubuntu 6 CD :)
I do usually sit my laptop up on coasters, just to give it a little 
extra clearance on the bottom, so it will stay cooler.
