[quote=Phoenix32]Yup, it is a 480 GB unit...
I no longer have my 4100 units to check, and my memory is failing these days, but that may be a different part number than the early ones were. And, when I was talking about -001 revision units, I was talking about model number on the rear sticker. Which incidently, does not even have a -00x number on it (and is a different model number than my 4100's were). Just to be 100% sure, check the sticker on the inside of the case and make sure the main board matches with what is on the sticker (serial number). This way you will know for sure someone did not swap boards on you etc...

Errr, yes I did
Just keeping you on your toes *ahem*
I don't think either fan is failing, they are just very noisy. The CPU fan spins VERY smoothly - bearings seem in excellent nick.

CPU fan is audible because I have the lid off for photos etc. It also seems to be at a slightly different pitch so it is apparent when it spins up. Putting the lid on muffles it greatly. Either way, I think the PSU fan would be the biggest focus of any attempts to reduce noise
