I didn't reply since it would be a major hassle getting the K3 out to look
at the make of fan, but since my S/N is 222 I guess my fans are Elina and I
would definitely be in the "quiet" camp. If only the fan in my IC-910H was
as quiet (and that comes on all the time.) I've also had computers that were
noisier than my K3.
