Re: Attic Server

["Simon Daykin" <simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mark,

Which PowerEdge is it?

I had a PE4200 in the loft,  but its was a hugely noisy beast and I
couldn't
get it quite enough to use.  It also have inbuilt temperature sensing stuff
that would will the log files with warning.

I do however now have a PE2200 in the loft and it works great.  Nice and
quite,  only two fans (main cooling fan plus PSU fan) and has been running
for nearly 2 years without missing a beat.

Best Regards

Simon
