Hi chaps,
Went mad. Bought a 19" rack from gadget junkie and bought the epia
bits
to build a 1U linux (yes, me - linux, go figure!) box. Up and running,
with surprisingly little hassle - but the PSU is a noisy noisy bugger.
There is a label on the PSU that says "with Noise Killer" but I
think
they just mean "With Noise" :(
Starts out quietish, but (I guess when it gets hot in there) the noise
soon builds up -drowns out my shuttle box which I thought was noisy
itself.
Does anyone know of a source of quiet 1U PSU's? This really is
intrusive :(
It also seems to add significantly to the heat in the room - what are my
options for reasonable cost cooling the room?
Is only about 2m x 3m, so not huge. Don't have space for an aircon in
there - unless I could put something in the loft and just have a vent in
the ceiling?
Would I get away with a hole in the wall behind the 19" rack, with a
quiet extractor fan there?
Thoughts on either issue appreciated.
Cheers,
T.
