Making a thread placeholder.
This is a bit of a teaser given what will be reviewed on STH tomorrow.
Some of the more candid feedback here is that I was very surprised with how quiet the unit is. 55dba was maximum on the Extech NIST calibrated sound meter but it fell into the 43-44dba range after boot. Certainly not something that I would want sitting next to my desk, but not overly loud either. @Kristian has a nice fan mod post which I could see making this switch extremely quiet.
