I've got the G70 and have been using it for about 14 months.

My responses:

1) fan noise is significant and a detraction although not horrible;
2) I built a box around it (ceiling mounted) with sound proofing in it but it still makes significant noise that can be heard during the quiet portions of movies;
3)what can be done about the noise? either a better soundproof box (mine is not as good as could be done professionally)or mounted in a separate enclosure behind the viewing room (e.g., like a professional theater);
4) the only alternative I know of that has no fan noise is the DWIN series of projectors -- I chose the Sony because of picture quality and a concern that no fan noise (heat sink approach of DWIN) might mean reliability problems due to overheating.
