What I'm taking so long to get at is, does anyone know what the db's are for the PS3? I gotta believe someone out there measured the db's so I'd look at that to determine if noise is a pro or con.

You won't be able to get a constant, accurate reading because there are multiple versions of the PS3 using different die sizes (putting out varying amounts of heat, some which may require more fan power) and on top of this even within each die size there is likely multiple manufacturers providing the fans. Same thing goes for XBOX 360. When you sell millions of consoles you generally need different suppliers for common parts, and hence you will get different noise levels on a per-console basis.
