Hi everyone,
I'm considering buying a Dell OptiPlex 5000 Micro for work and light entertainment, but I'm a bit concerned about the fan noise.

From real-world usage:

• Is the fan noisy during normal tasks (web browsing, office work)?
• How loud does it get under heavier workloads (light rendering, many tabs, heavier software)?
• Compared to other mini PCs, how does the noise level feel?

If anyone is using it, I’d really appreciate your feedback. Thanks!
