My experience is different, since all the Macs I have make a lot of noise. The most silent Power Mac I own is the G5 "Late 2005" which has liquid cooling (even though it is the 2.0 GHz single processor (Dual Core) model -- I've read contrary information at everymac.com about the cooling system). The most silent computer I have is the IBM ThinkPad R51 from 2004.
