I also have a Dell Xeon server at home, and it was horribly noisy until I switched off the default ultra-fast disk option (it made no noticeable difference to performance). That dropped the noise level by about 60-70%.
Their case design has a fan in the front of the drive bay that rattles like crazy unless you turn that option off. The noise from the other case fans is tolerable. Brian > Chips aren't noisy. The cooling systems on them and in the cases are. ------- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
