For those of you that have installed the Verax fan and power supply, is the difference pretty huge? Much quieter?

OK, I just put my M11 kit in yesterday. And, holy shit, its "Night and Day" (you are the one) difference. I made a couple of audio samples. Let me figure out how to upload and you guys can check them out.
The case fan does not get replaced in the upgrade and that continues to be the loudest thing other than the drives. I may augment the Verax with a PCI fan (about $10) to keep that case fan from kicking in so often.
Putting it in another room is always a good idea and that's how I've usually done it. However, I've just built a new room that's a good 50' away from anywhere else to put the thing. Running high-quality cables that far will cost one as much as an ISO boxx...major bummer. However, with the Verax kit, I might be able to get away with a little less isolation and just stick it in the bathroom.
Hopefully, everyone will practice good marksmanship.
