so, whats the noise with these watercooled miners?

Depends on what you are using to cool your radiators. If you have good fans, it shouldn't be too loud.

could you give me an order of magnitude plz? im quite interested to just have one of these to show of in my one room appartment .. ^^

The noise level is exactly the same as the S3, if you are familiar with their noise level.  The C1 has the 1 of the same fans as the S3.  It's just 1 fan, instead of 2.  The noise level seems the same for 1, or 2, of those stock high-speed fans.  I'm sure someone will disagree.  ;-)   The single fan on the C1 drowns out the cooling unit fans. (I order the recommended cooling unit.)  

A bit of additional info.  My C1 is using 875 Watts at the wall.  The PSU is a Rosewill Lightning 1300W.  All default settings on the C1.  The clock frequency is 250.

I was mistaken on my fan noise comment.  After a short time, the fan slowed down and it is quieter now.  The fan ran at a higher speed for a little while, beyond the normal startup max speed test.  Anyway, I was wrong about the noise level being the same.  I can measure the db tomorrow, if that's not been done yet.
