(moved to freebsd-hardware only) So far, it doesn't, since the power supply fan on the case I bought is pretty loud (well, quieter than the old system, but not yet quiet enough). But the manual for the motherboard indicates that it can run fanless, and it has temperature sensors and a BIOS feature to shut it down after it hits a critical temperature, so after some fidgeting I suspect that I'll be able to quiet it down completely.
