Since they are making newer versions of the device with lower power-consumption and the cost to manufacture has gone down significantly since the first release, why can't they just spend a few more dollars and put in a fan with equal airflow, yet quieter. I am frustrated by this too! Do you think the embedded extenders set to be released in Toshiba TVs this year are going to be underpowered like the linksys ones are? Maybe they could use the Ion platform to make some better extenders! I can’t believe that Microsoft won’t/can’t fix this noise problem.

I don't agree with their findings at all. It made a small difference but no where near "whisper"! I looked at the Lian Li case but that's a chunk of change and reviews didn't sound perfect - which I'd want for that much money. The Linksys was silent but just not as nice to use. I really wish MS would do something about the fans. To their credit a more recent box I got does seem a little quieter but not enough. I envy your closet setup :-) I feel the same way about the ExtremeTech review. I don’t agree with their findings at all. It made a small difference but no where near “whisper”!
