I wish I could have a quiet home lab; I think that heat and noise it is just CRAP.
I have one PC it is quiet!
My lab SUCKS! (it is loud) my wife does not complain.
I had a liquid cooled unit but the radiator stillneeded a fan. (120mm fans are loud).
We must agree the need,
Our Labs Suck! we make heat, and noise. ( our results our very cool, but noise, and heat is not)
I fried a video card this year. It I am sure was due to heat?
How are we going to deal with our heat and our noise?
I want coooler with less noise.
(hate that 120mm mutiple fan 24/7/365). -

It is definitely possible to have a quiet lab as long as you do a little research. I built my latest lab server with three things in mind: low power utilization, low noise, and high VM density. It has a Supermicro H8SCM-F motherboard, a hex-core AMD Opteron 4162 EE CPU, four SSDs, 32 GB RAM, and an 80 Plus Gold PSU. It uses under 50 watts with 20-30 VMs running on ESXi. It's in a Chenbro workstation case with three low-RPM 120mm fans (typically spinning around 700 RPM) which are virtually silent, and a 92mm FAN on the CPU heatsink which hovers around 1000 RPM and is similarly quiet.inscom.brigade wrote: »I want coooler with less noise.

Mine is really quiet. I can barely hear it. My HTPC is louder than this guy.
