That's a good idea- it seems to vary from model to model. My 7500 has a
fairly noisy fan at the back of the case, which blows at top-of-the-case
height. I couldn't do much about that so I adopted distance as the
insulator, put it on another piece of furniture about a metre and a half
away with the front pointing towards me so I can easily slot in floppies
and CDs. The leads (monitor lead is limiting) just reach and it's
acceptable. But I'd love it to be quieter still.
