It apparently also says `whisper quiet due to AIR XL heat pipe coller and SpeedStep` - will this make a big difference to noise levels? Would like to know if anyone has managed to get hold of one of these yet - it looks good on paper for that price!

The PC the first poster mentions is probably one left over from when they were on sale the other week. It looks like demand was more than they normally get, and have decided to do them again next week.

I doubt it`s one of next weeks lot on sale early, it`ll be one of the last lot, but the spec looks the same to me. I think they`re just selling another batch soon after the last lot because of demand maybe. It`s normally 6 months or so before they do their next PC.

As for the Air XL exhaust system, I have it on my Medion, and it`s not noisy at all. It`s a very quiet PC. Some people did comment on theirs being noisy around the time I got mine, but it seems some people just happened to get a `duff` one, it doesn`t seem to be normal. If you happen to get a faulty one, take it back, the odd faulty one can slip through with any make.

One of the guys at work got the PC when they did it a few weeks ago, after I recommended it to him, and he`s no complaints, very pleased with it.

These are still left over from last time in my local store also.
