I have remotely mounted both of my ts-480's and the tm-v71a.  This 
affectively eliminates any awareness of fan noise.

Build a shelf under the surface of the desk: set the rig bodies there with a 
A quarter inch of plywood mounted  in front of the shelf and you have no 
noise at all!

Now what about overheating?  No problem: a couple of "Stealth" computer fans 
which are 12vdc setting on top of the rigs keeps them very cool.  NO NOISE 
and no overheating!

There are two ways of dealing with it.  Listen to the noise or get creative.
