No problems here although if you site the base unit in the wrong place, the
fan does have a tendency to sound like a vacuum cleaner.

Mine is 4 months old and I replaced both Maxtor HD's last week. Must have
come from a bad batch. (SMART
alerts and bad sectors). I had everything backed up and imaged so from
opening the package from Dell it took less than 45 minutes to get the
replacement HD fitted,
partitioned, images restored and computer operational with all my programs
working. It is a great computer and I'd buy it again. I now have two WD hard
drives.
