My pc is noisy. It's an out of the box Systemax. However, at the same time I got the pc, I also inherited a pretty nice desk and hutch. Putting the case inside the logical compartment (which does have upper and lower back ventilation and cords-exit areas) drops the noise ratio probably by half, and so far (almost 2 years) I haven't had any heat buildup problems.

It works so well that I'm going to have my fairly-handy husband build me something similar but better eventually....
