I don't mind loud fans. I remember one of those Thermaltake fans - it was called the Volcano or something like that - it was like a damn vacuum cleaner. I had one on my Barton 2500+.
The thing that DOES get on my nerves is oscillating or revolving noise (rather than constant). I have 1.4 TB of hard drives in my current setup and all of them together are creating some sort of odd, oscillating vibration - think of a computer actually "breathing." It's incredibly annoying; it sounds similar to a CD-ROM accessing a disk, every 5 seconds. Now THAT'S annoying. If it would just stay a constant buzz or whir or whatever, I'd be fine.
