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.
