[rescue] Thoughts on system noise...

[Bill Vinson]

I believe it is the 1GB SCSI not the fan.  I like the sound of system 
fans, but all of the 1GB SCSI drives I have tried are exceeding loud.  
All of the Seagates seem to have a high pitched whine...

And no, all of my PCs and macs are quieter...

I think I need to experiment more with the system drive as that is the 
main issue.

Thanks,
Bill
