The Nasty Fan

In an earlier post I mentioned that the Mini was basically silent. Well that's true only until the fan kicks in. During my recent linux install and a couple of other times when the system was very busy the fan has ramped up quickly and gets very loud. So loud that it I easily hear it over the PC on the floor next to my desk. While it might actually be quieter than the PC, it is perceived as much louder becuase it is much closer to your ear when it is sitting on your desk.

Bummer!
