RE: [SOT] Noisy servers

["Jonathan@xxxxxxx" <jonathan@xxxxxxx>]

I can get under my house as there is a 3 foot deep area under half the
house; I keep my wine down there as it stays at about 10c all year round.
I'm considering putting all my machines down there too. I find case
vibration the greatest noise generator.

Cheers
Jonathan

This one has been killing me for ages...

90% of my machines at home are silent or near silent except the big fat one
(no not me - the machine with 16 harddisks crammed into it).

I guess anyone else with at least one serious filestore at home must be
suffering with the amount of noise that 1 box makes.... Where does one
locate it in the house ?

I did have it hidden away under the stairs until summer when the
temperatures were ripe and I thought it best to have the door left open as
far as the loft was concerned it was baking up there.

Any ideas given by where you locate fatboy would be much appreaciated. It
may just be that I have to resort to turning it into an 'on demand' server
and not one that needs to be run 24/7.

MTIA.
