Well I do have a mac... but the computer I use the most is my x86/Linux PC.
And yes, it's a BIG tower, but it's damn near silent. I have all the case fans running off a 5v line. The fan over my processor's heatsink only runs at 1400RPM, which I can't hear. The power supply I can hear, but it's not loud at all. I replaced the fan on my ATi Radeon 9000 Pro with a passive heatsink/heatpipe setup. The only noise that bothers me is the sound from the hard drive, but I am about fix that. . . Overall it is much, much quieter then the iMac (CRT, rev.d) sitting beside it. That thing can get annoying.
