Since december 2008 I have had an Acer Aspire One A150-BGb (Windows XP, 160 GB HDD, 3G adapter, etc.). It has served me extremely well, especially at work. However, a while back I lost my tolerance for noisy computers and made the netbook dead silent by completely eliminating the fan and swapping the HDD with an SSD. Details of the project - which I chose to call The STFU Project since I had literally started to hate :evil: the noisy fan and to a smaller degree the HDD - can be found at Flickr: [URL]http://www.flickr.com/photos/murre-x/sets/72157622898633201/[/URL] It's not a step by step instruction though, and perhaps there's a better way, but so far the machine is just wonderful and works flawlessly. Any questions and suggestions are welcome. :geek:
