First I must say that the cables are minimal shorter than that of my predecessor, has however not been a problem.
I have all run through a fan controller and after the start is the only thing I hear my hard drive. The fans are really fucking quiet at 50% (I have all the sources of noise off in the room, yet almost not heard). If they are running at 100% you can hear a still slight noise but if they should consider running at someone through 100% if you do something wrong ...
Conclusion:
Top! So what I can say right now is to definitely recommend !.
