[MLB-WIRELESS] wanted a file cabit

[dean collins]

Side doors are really important as most of the noise only gets blocked
when they are really sealed otherwise it will act like an echo chamber
and make it even noisier.

I have a fully enclosed rack with 4 servers and unfortunately they sit
right next to my work space.

I've just started using water cooling on 2 of them and cant believe how
amazing the sound difference is.

Unfortunately there isn't space for 4 zalman reserators so I'm currently
trying to get pricing for building a custom tank that covers the entire
side of the rack.

Using 4 separate pumps I'm hoping to water cool the entire rack. (apart
from a single fan in the 3000VA APC ups.)

You can see an example in this forum.

hopefully once I get some water cooled northbridge coolers and water
cooled power supply I can have all 4 of the P4 3ghz pc's humming along
quietly with little or no noise (even the hard drives in them are
silenced - I have dual drive silent star water hard drive coolers in 2
of them already - made a really big difference).


Cheers,
Dean
