Stealth in the bedroom

I knew, when swapping a known-quiet Vantec ION power supply into the flower_cat's new computer didn't make a noticable difference, that the only major noise source left had to be the CPU fan. But I didn't know how major. I put in a CoolerMaster LED Silent 8025 system fan, and it's now almost inaudible. In fact, if you stand equidistant from both systems, most of the noise you hear is coming from the other machine -- in an Antec Sonata case under a cardboard box.

Problem solved.

Yum.

The flower_cat's maple-syrup baked beans. Yum!!

Next time she does them in the crock pot (which works very well, as a matter of fact) I'll try to remind her that it doesn't lose nearly as much liquid as it does in the oven. Still good.
