Only when playing online video (flash in h264), the Atom usage goes to 80% and the fan can be noticed from the sofa.

To tell you the truth I expected it to be almost silent. When close to the Revo you can hear a slight hum. But when you are sitting on the sofa you can hardly notice. Still almost noiseless compared to an Xbox360! I recently got a QNAP TS219 TurboNAS, and this one, even if much quieter than a desktop, you can notice the fan when it is on.

One worry, though: Noise! I have read some reports stating that it is noisy, and for a living room, this is a killing point. What are your impressions? Haha, I too saw this animal and was attracted.
