Great writeup Phil.  Having owned an SP10, and dealing with the ear-piercing scream it put out, how do the fans on the SP20 compare in pitch to those fans?  I don't mind something a little loud as long as it isn't that awful screeching whine.  Don't suppose you could grab a quick audio clip of the fans at a few different speeds and post it could you?

They are just as loud, but personally speaking the pitch on the fans is much more tolerable than the SP10.
Thanks Bob.  Like I wrote, loud is OK as long as it's not screeching.  The miners are in the basement.  With the SP10, I could hear that thing throughout the house, even with the fans on their lowest settings.  I had an S2 and couldn't hear it.  I've currently got 8 S3s and can't hear them either.

You'll hear the SP20

Don't get me wrong, I think its one of the best miners out there and I'm probably going to get another one soon, but don't think that its quiet like an S3 or a Jupiter.
What level was the fan in that video, 80%?  Definitely not anywhere near what the SP10 was.  Loud, but low-pitched enough that I wouldn't hear it from the basement.  Thanks for sharing that video Biffa!

Yes 80%

Heres one with the replacement Scythe Ultra Kaze fan: http://youtu.be/ddyps5nf9LA
