There are "fans" and there are "FANS"!
I just replaced my main computer which sounded like a vacuum
cleaner when it was running with a brand-new (expensive) Dell
Professional with four - count 'em - four fans and I can't
hear them at all. Hard to tell that the machine is turned on.
Ditto for the HP laptop that I use with my K2 for digital
stuff.
The only real "fan noise" is the auxiliary fan that I mounted
on top of the K2 that's controlled by the PTT circuit so it's
not going continuously. Now that one is loud......
