A couple of things I've done.. 1: enclosed rack..
2: Bose headset from ebay.. worth very penny and if you fly much, you will wonder how you made it without them. I had a cheaper set but after 2 hours my ears were sore from being squashed. I wore the Bose for a 14 hour flight to/from France last month and never had a problem. They are a great study aid for *quiet time* 3: On the Cat2900 for example, there are 3 fans.. it's been *my* experience that in a home lab with moderate temps, you can disconnect 2 of the 3 fans with good sucess. Same applies to the Cat5K depending on slot loads. It's possible to buy quiter fans but it's a pricy solution. I paid 200 for the enclosed 5' rack which was the number one reduction in noise. I also leave off whatever equipment I dont need at that moment. I use X10 controllers on the power lines and a handheld wireless remote or the PC software to cycle them on and off as needed.
