Hello Mike
Yes, I thought there were a few hours between us.
Re the humming - well she calls it humming - its a gentle sound of a fan 
turning at very high speed.  Its no more than a small hand-held type of 
battery driven fan.
Though she has to agree that it is quieter than comp I put together a year 
ago - P4 3.0Gh Prescott 478pin - now they ran hot - plus 400w power - had 
five fans running to keep the temp down to 55-60 when running flight sims at 
full belt.
Current system has a bit more under the bonnet - P4 3.4Gh LGA775 (again a 
hot runner)plus gforce 7800, 600w power with a 120mm supercool/quiet fan 
over the CPU.
That keeps the temp down to 40-45 all on its own.  Even with a bit of 
clocking.
Also I can assure you that everything in the box is as tight as a drum.
The box is also sitting on a sound absorbent material.
Anyhow, with a headset on I hear no outside noises -- not even 'her'.
Take care
