Ok so here's the deal... I get this awesome deal on a 1U server that's perfect for my application (web, mail, and asterisk server) eagerly await it's arrival, rack it up, power it up, and suddenly it sounds like I'm in the middle of a hurricane
It's tolerable, but not really. It's just a bit too loud for my small home office. So I'm looking for suggestions. The culprit appears to be a large blower located at the front of the chassis, and it's the only fan in the system besides the one on the power supply:
I've thought about low profile CPU coolers, but wasn't sure if such a thing exists or what the potential thermal effects will be on the rest of the system without the blower :/
The CPU is a P4 @ 3.06 Ghz and 1gb of RAM.
Suggestions appreciated
