it almost the same amount of noise you get when booting the PC

that 1.8 is a tower model or desktop?

They are tower models, I think they have placed more than 1000 of these machines here at work, they never make more noise, but they are only used for office programs never multimedia, they are equîped with a passive radeon 7000 and Samsung 19 ich flatscreen (191 T). There are some newer models (better cpu + new type of case with a small blue lcd-screen on top of the case and these make more noise.

Most commonly used PC in office for Customer Service, accounting, shipping/receiving, and production control are mostly P4 Celeron with smallest HDD hooked up to LAN/WAN. These machines do not generate much heat at all and run very quiet. They are interfaced with SAP, BPCS with MS loaded individually.

For engineering dept; commonly used were P4 3.06; lately in the last few months AMD\'s are showing up. These are mostly workstations LAN to server that is not business/manufacturing related as stand alone system. Most are equiped with Intel boards anyway.

So, you see, this type of PSU hardly find "big" business buyers.
