Do you know how loud an XServe runs? Perhaps convection cooled iMacs...
Hi David
Thanks, didn't know they are noisy. Maybe use the old studio standy,
equipment closet?
Equipment designed for rack mount is designed to run in
machine rooms, that are noisy anyway, and are designed to pack as
much heat generating hardware into as compact an area as possible and
keep it at a good operating temperature, hence have serious fans. The
XServe is very noisy, but that's very typical of that kind of
equipment, not a flaw in the XServe. I could hear my rack mount IBM
machine three rooms away.
Now, a stack of convection cooled cubes, on the other hand.
iMacs of course can be very quiet, but don't stack well :-)
Regards
David
