Back in the day, I had 10 2500s, 2 2600s, an LS1010, and a catalyst 5000
in the bedroom next to the one where I slept. The noise definitely took
some getting used to. I eventually moved the entire rack to the basement
which made the house much quieter.
If you try and "make the gear quieter" the risk you assume is having the
equipment overheat. You can stick the gear in a closet somewhere, just
make sure you have proper ventilation. Maybe you should take a look at
an enclosed 19" rack w/ doors and some quiet fans on the top and bottom.
That should make somewhat of a difference.
thanks,

Subject: OT: how to cope with home lab's NOISE
Importance: Low
Hi Gang,
I just bought HP ML-580 server (Dual XEON 3.2 Ghz, 4Gigs ram) from e-bay
and
it's noisy in home environment not acceptable.
Can someone guide me if there are ways around to reduce the noise. It's
normal noise which comes from the server (as usual).
This server has 6 fans. I took 2 fans out but still the XEON processor's
FAN's are making noise.
How important it is to have VOICE home lab at home?
I am thinking to put all lab gears at work and access it from home using
IPSEC tunnel.
From home I can get 3-4 mbps connection to work.
