Overall, it's great so far.  I need to get the speakers to mute when I
plug in headphones, but I think I know how to fix that and I'm going
to start a thread about it.

The fan is audible when it kicks on, but it usually only comes on
during an emerge.  However, those things tend to get louder with age.
