I also have changed the harddrive, because the or=EDginal one was very loud. I've got a Maxtor DiamondMax D540X (120 GB with Quiet Drive Technology) and a very silent fan from Pabst with variable rpm (depends on the temperature) and believe me if I say that you nearly hear nothing. The Radeon Graphics Card is missing its fan too :-)
