Supposedly, this model is quiter then your average sff pc and I was wondering just how loud that might be. Are we talking laptop levels or are we talking "very noticlable in a room level"? The reasons why I want a sff pc is that they look better then regular pcs plus they take up less space(although that really isn't a concern). I also was wondering if the X800 Pro will work in one of these. I remember ATi saying that they can but don't remember the speceific power requirements.

Also, which of the two models would be better if I where to use a mobile barton and maybe a 2.8C P4. I know the Intel chip costs about $100 more but if both were overclocked, which would be faster? I'm guessing that the mobile might reach around 2.3ghz while the 2.8 will do around 3.2ghz. If they do reach those speeds, which will be faster and if it is, will it be noticeable? My primary uses would be for gaming and a little photo/video editing.
