Maybe but it's the only effective cooling solution for your entire computer that's completely silent.
In my PC that isn't water cooled, I'm using a ThermalTake Silent Boost HSF, Enermax NoiseTaker PSU, Heatpipe VGA cooler and I can still hear the computer plain as day when it's quiet. Mind you, if there's any background noise, I can't really hear the computer.
If there wasn't a light on the front of my water cooled system, I'd never know it was turned on. (lies, the PSU makes a tiny bit of noise but barely perceptable.)
