Re: Reducing fan noise on an E420R

The best solution is to go and get a Intel/AMD based server. I started
another thread in this newsgroups pointing out that in my experience
SUN completely failed to produce any SOHO server. Noise and energy
sucking were one of the key problems for me too.
I'm now using a Pentium III based completely fanless server.

Considering I just paid a bunch of money for this box, I might as well
give it a try. And yep, I was under the misguided perception that this
would be a good SOHO box, but I guess I've learned my lesson. I suppose
if i had a wired garage or basement to put it in, it wouldn't be quite
as bad...

I'm also worried about the massive amounts of energy consumption as
well... I figure pulling 2 of the CPUs and only running one of the
power supplies will reduce the power consumption by a significant
amount though.
