Most quiet PC with Windows 7 64bits

[jyt]

Hi I'm looking for a quiet PC that would run windows 7 with pro tools 8 on a 002 interface. anyone?

I currently using a HP Compaq NW8440 but I find it noisy but it run very well, what about the Lenovo ThinkPad T500 is this quieter?

Does it have to be a laptop? A good desktop PC will have lots more power, and can be made quieter as you don't have to cram so much hardware into such a small case(which forces you to have faster fans to move air thru smaller spaces). pro-tools-pc.com makes some killer desktop PC's. If you just gotta have a laptop, I would shop for a 1-2 year old MacBook Pro i7 quad core with at least 8GB of RAM(yes, a PC guy is recommending a Mac)

Any one knows about which motherboard pro-tools-pc.com are using to build their pc?

A guess here, but since they offer a Thunderbolt option, I'd guess its an X99 chipset and either Asus or Gigabyte(the 2 most popular brands for PT rigs).
