Dell Dimension 5000 - anyone else with a BTX machine?

Just wanted to say how quiet my new Dimension 5000 is.

It isn't quite silent, but compared to previous dells and your average
desktop, this is something of a revelation.

Its down to the new BTX form factor from what I understand. Dell claim 40%
quieter. I think it is even more than that.
Tucked away under my desk I can't hear a thing. I have to put my head under
the desk to check its still running :-)

(bit like the first time you get in an executive car, and you get to the
traffic lights and wonder if you have stalled)

Is any other vendor selling BTX yet?

Seems like this is a first.
Not even available in the US yet!
That must be unusual, Dell UK preceeding the US in introducing a new
machine.

Stone Computers (www.stonecomputers.com) will shortly be moving
to BTX. They only sell to the public sector, but I highly
recommend them.
