The Crimson has large "Slow" fans.. PCs have a ton of smaller fans adding
to the high pitch... and do not forger HDDs!

Actually if you want noisy... heh check my octane out! Now that is loud,

I stated that the 4D/480 predator cabinet was an "office appliance" that was meant to go in the office rather than the server room.  I have one and the fans are deafening -  I cant imagine having to sit next to it, not to mention the size of the thing.  The onyx is bad enough.....
