Don't flame me for hiding my Mac mini under my desk.
I just don't like the sight of the thing.




It's not a 30GB HDD, it's 80GB. I mistyped.

You have the same mac as me, how dare you hide it! Haha.

Well, my one (Intel Core 2 Duo 1.83Ghz 2GB RAM) is loud. So I stick it to my left to minimize the annoyance it gives.
And I hear lots of people saying "You only get Apple stuff to look cool!"... It proves my point that I don't buy Apple (primarily) for its coolness if it's there.
And to the casual observer, it's hidden unless you know to look there.
Say someone breaks in and tries to find the computer, if you have a thief who just wants to be in and out with as much as he can... He wont see the Mac because its in the dark at the back of that shelf unit thing. I suppose there's a chance they would see it, but it ain't likely if they just wanna be in and out.

Fair enough if you think it's paranoia.. And yes, I DO have Contents Insurance. However, while I can claim back the old Mac, I'll never get the data back.

You do have some good points to be honest with you. I don't find my mini loud, but we all have different ears and what we think is loud or isn't can be different.

Mac Mini? Loud?

Whenever I leave my PC on whilst im in school, my mum or dad will turn the plugs off in my room because they cannot hear my Mac Mini lol.

[lolwut]

Maybe mine's a dud.
If a family members going into the Apple store, then maybe I'll take it in and ask the people why it's loud.

The fan is probably going, take it to an Apple store and they can replace it, changing a fan is like a 5 minute job at most.
