What are you stuffing in there?  I'm trying to save some cash for a
Pioneer DVR-107 "SuperDrive" for Karin's sawtooth.

Gotcha.  The G5 *is* quiet - until you put it under load that is.  :) 

Normal surfing/email/tetris sound from it is rather quiet, nearly
silent actually.  Even GarageBand doesn't really stress it out. 
However, running the Unreal Tournament 2004 demo makes it "woosh" like
an Octane.  It's actually kinda comforting - to know that it *can* make
all that noise, but it doesn't *have* to.  :)
