As an old IT guy let me tell you that that doesn't work in the long run. Seriously. We were stuck in a small office 3 of us and between 4-15 servers and two large SCSI RAID boxes and we're all suffering some level of hearing losses and/or tinnitus. Our new office has all the servers off in another room that we spend as little time in as possible. As much as you don't like deafening silence, believe me, you'll miss it when there's a constant high-pitched noise going on in your head that you can't ever get away from. Tinnitus isn't a joke; people have killed themselves over it. I'm lucky that most of the time my case is low enough "volume" that I can mostly ignore it. Put the XServe off in another room and use it via Remote Desktop. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
