I was able to go to my local Apple Store where I purchased a Mac Mini (site to store pickup) on Oct. 1st. They were extending the 14day return to 30days. So, I was able to pickup a new Mac Mini late 2012 model today. The first thing I noticed is the fan, it has yet to turn on after 5hrs of use. The old 2011 model would have been blasting the fan by now.

As always Apple store service rocks, in and out in 5-7mins

Thanks for confirming the fan is not as noisy as the one in the 2011 model! That's my biggest hope fir the 2012 Mini! :)
