Intel iMac 17" silent enough?

I guess the title says it all. Any imac users out there? How do you appreciate it. Does the fans bother you? Is it ibook-silent?
I mostly record acoustic stuff so the noise factor is pretty important for me.
Any input would be great!

I have a 20" iMac G5 that I use for recording. Very quiet. I use to record with a Powerbook G4 that was very loud when the fan kicked on. iMac much quieter. I actually never even notice the iMac fans - but I also record loud stuff.

Thanks!
The intel is supposed to be quieter than the G5 too.
