This is a short post to gauge interest in my ongoing project to quietly cool a 24-disk Supermicro SC846.
Posting this from mobile, will clean up and add details later.
Basically I want to move my file server into the network closet but need a way to exhaust the heat and keep it cool. I’ve already done a cheap imitation of Jason Rose’s 3x 140mm intake and swapped the internal fans for 3x 120mm.
This weekend I added 3x 140mm exhaust and a makeshift duct.
Still a lot of work to be done and I’m not convinced this is even going to work but in the meantime here are some pictures.
