He, I have a 2 GB and a 4GB Barracuda of that type. Really the
loudest 3,5" drive I heard ever.

Hmm. I think about a wall made from SA800 filled with RA90...

I put my machines _allways_ in a separate room. It is no problem 
to have 10 m or 15 m cable extensions with good cables. (RG59 for

Escala (7 fans) can't be silent by design. ;-)
