I have a Cycleops Fluid 2 and it's great. Not ultra quiet but pretty good, and it has a nice road feel to it - it gets harder as you go faster. Have used it for ~60 sessions in the last 3 months and enjoyed every minute of it (in a kind of tough but good way!) I don't use any DVDs, instead I have my mp3 on and use a list of workout programmes from 'Workouts in a Binder for Indoor Cyclists'. It's tough going but interesting enough to keep you coming back to the trainer for more when it's not sunny enough to get outside.
