I had a case from them in which the case fan was incredibly noisy,
though it wasn't 'HTPC'.
Having looked at the board temperatures, which were very reasonable, I
completely disconnected the case fan again watched the temperatures. My
CPU was still not getting above 40C. I've just left that fan disconnected.

YMMV.
