Alfredo: sorry to hear about your noisy fan problem. Both older A400's
and the new A500 here are very quiet. The air conditioner makes more
noise than the computers. I'd say your fans are possibly defective.
Also I notice the A500 (brand new) case is actually smaller than the
A400's that are now > 2 years old. Did HP downsize the case and
motherboard before "outsizing" it altogether?
