This is in a quiet room...
So I'm trying to understand (before I go insane) what people are saying that their iMac is "silent", or I've even seen people say "I can't hear it unless I put my ear to it"
As in you can't hear it at all??? I mean, I'm in a quiet bedroom and I do hear it a little bit. It's mostly air noise with a little hint of fan whirl (I mean a tiny bit) If I turn on a little Awesome 80's iTunes music at low volume, it drowns out the iMac idle sound. For it to have an i7 and 680mx graphics chip in it, I'm not sure I could build a PC with fans that is this quiet though...
I would call a Macbook Air that I use silent unless the fan starts to go up in rpm. But my iMac at 1200rpm makes some little bit of sound, but others don't...
