- Noise is relative. Compared to my old Mac II, the Quadra I have doesn't
- sound noisy. You can even hear the hard disk working in there!

- The 68040 generates a lot of heat and needs to be cooled in order to work.
- I seem to remember that the Quadra 900 would overheat if used with the
- case open for more than 30 minutes. I don't think that changing the fan
- would be wise.
