    How loud do you think the IFL90 will be with the 8600GT 2.2 GHZ? This is a contributing factor in me getting one of these. thanks!

    How do you measure loud?

    We found the evaluation units to be very quiet, even quieter than the HEL80s.

    just looking for opinions. thanks for the response. to me this seems like a powerful system and i was concerned it might have a powerful sound.

    The decibel is the traditional unit of measure for audio loudness ;)

    But quieter than the HEL80 is good to hear.

    Hmm.. quieter then a HEL80.. Well, unless I'm gaming the sound of the fans isn't loud enough to matter, and if I'm gaming it's either headphones or to loud in my 5.1 system to notice :p

    The only noise I really ever notice is the optical drive, but it's not all that common for my daily routine, and I normally have either music or TV going when on the desktop.
