Curious. With no moving parts (SSD instead of spinning rust hard drive, and fanless) where is the noise coming from?
from the CPU fan
My dead desktop was an Intel NUC system, so basically the same as the ASUS unit I've ordered. The biggest problem was that if I was trying to do something CPU-intensive, it would get hot and the CPU would drop down to a slower speed. I dealt with that by pointing a USB desk fan at the unit.
OK, looks like a work around :) not applicable in my case.
