Computers should be noisier is an interesting take.

I can't tell you how much of a relief it was to have finally have a computer with solid state everything, an insulated case, 120mm fans. Turned it on, silence. It's good for recording sound, it's good for anyone else who happens to be in the room.

Why sound? why not just a.. oh idk. disk access light? Maybe add other little leds for other stuff?
