They are still pretty quiet.
My 2.3 i7 is almost silent most of the time. I've only had the fans fire up when I've been converting films with Handbrake and even then it's still not very noisy.

thats good to know they look fantastic now but i thought apple might have sacrificed noise for slim style

Ditto...I only hear my i7 when using Handbrake, or when my son is playing Mindcraft. Otherwise, it is very quiet.

It's not as quiet as the White ones IMO. Especially when a lot of video activity or multi core activity kicks in, the fans goes much faster than on the core2duo ones. I have the idea the 9400M GPU in my 2009 is passively cooled or so. But HD4000 and 8thread machines are a lot faster! Now you have a Mini that can stand against an iMac. In de Core2Duo era, the Mini's were quite a bit behind the iMacs in power. My Radeon 2011 mini also blows pretty much during a GPU intensive game.
