"The quest for noiseless computing has been highly sought by computer users over the past several years. Increased processor speeds, coupled with higher temperature components, have created an internal case thermal envelope that typically requires multiple fans to dissipate the increased temperature loads of higher performance components. In today's environment of high performance CPUs, video cards and other heat generating peripherals, the common gripes that it is possible to "cook an egg" or "warm your coffee" on a typical modern computer are not that far fetched."
