Do you have any idea how loud this is going to be? Very loud! Those little fans scream for air. I have one of these orbs with 2 of those fans stacked on top of eachother. It is therefore "taller." Well, let me just tell you, it is really freakin' loud. There is always a possibility that mine is as loud as it is because it has 2 fans, but I'm pretty sure all the noise isn't just because I have two fans.

The vast majority of it is because you have 2 fans. The 2nd fan is probably spinning 50%+ faster than it should because of the forced airflow from the top fan. 10,000 RPM fans = Loud.
