Hello,
new member since today.
I have reduced my environment to a multimedia/gaming HTPC together with a D200 (~2 years old). I enjoy it very much .
To answer the question in advance. If there is silence and one really concentrates - one could hear a very small swoosh from the fans. During playing they have never disturbed me.
Yes - one could also play some serious games with my gear .
