18-22 is quiet to very quiet, but sub-15ish is going towards true silence.
It's mostly the fans in the case that do a good job of making it vastly intrusive but it needs the airflow to keep the serious overclock, cool.
sorry, you got me wrong there, I should have worded it better, what I meant was that the review seems to suggest in my opinion that the fans on the 4870's are loud while its the other fans that are responsible.

the fan speed on the 4870's is fixed at a low speed, so they never really get going, except during bootup (i.e. before fan control kicks in).
But of course you are right that the whole system wont be quiet due to the amount and type of fans used.
Jasio - you are referring to Cyberpower US who are a separate company to us in the UK. We are also offering full water-cooling and are entering partnership with one of the UK's most respected Water-cooling specialist for a new range be launched this month :)
If this is marketed at people who are scared of opening their computer, which as it is a prebuilt computer then it is, then isn't it a bit risky offering to put air sacks in there? It is a nice option to have, but I can see problems with people leaving them in there accidentally!
Anyway, thanks for the reviews and thanks Cyberpower for the discount!
Hi there , I think the Power supply must be with the fan facing downwards , because if a screw fall inside the PSU , you must open the PSU to take the screw out before turn the PSU on
