can you hear CPU/GPU fans in your cab?

I do hear it, but it's fairly faint and gets easily drowned out by game sounds.

Actually Rick, from your question I'm assuming that you don't own any real Arcade Cabs.....

They kick out a lot of fan noise. Most of them have large extractor fans built into the case. The ones that don't soon get holes drilled and have them fitted (at least they do when I get hold of them). In an arcade you just don't notice it because of all the background noise. Running a single cab at home you will notice it.

To be honest it doesn't bother me that much.... even my desktop PC sounds like a vacuum cleaner LOL  :laugh2: you get used to it.

None of my arcade machines have any fans, but the Super Punch-Out machine does have the "Nintendo hum" going on, like many Nintendo cabinets do, and is twice what a normal Nintendo cabinet is because of the two speakers/amps rather than one.

Nintendo cabs don't exactly constitute a majority of arcade cabs out there.

Try SEGA, Namco and Konami cabs.... They kick out a hell of a racket.
