can hear 'em late at night and I keep telling myself that that's OK...
really!
I live in an area where a lot of folks don't have central air conditioning (AC season's short enough that it's not worth the $$ to a lot of us) - so this now being the season of window fans, window air conditioners (and just open windows, so noise from outside coming in) and my ambient levels have gone up more than a little (and all the PCs in the house are comparatively quieter)
