That is certainly not true!! Yes, the power supply plans for sufficient airflow to cool the average chassi but it certainly is not a good idea to run with no cooling at all. Those voltage regulators get very hot and simple convection of the heat to a static air environment will simply not suffice. Madison Wil McGilvery wrote:

If noise is an issue, and if you have an extra pc, why not use terminal services and set up a dumb terminal in the area where noise is a problem.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but if you boot from a floppy and leave the cover off, you don't really need the fan on the power supply.
