How loud is too loud?

[regpfj]

Lots of quiet computer info is available here in these forums.

Quiet fans, quiet power supplies, quiet hard drives, quiet cases, how to make your existing hard drives more quiet, how to quiet down your case, how to quiet down your girlfriend.

Previously I could hear my computer from a different floor of the house. Now it's more quiet than my video projector. To the folks on that forum, my system is probably still loud, but to me it's pretty quiet.
