Bruce Momjian posted a short review on our Custom Tower Server PC: Very quiet and powerful server.
After having a server for 30+ years that made a noticeable noise, this server is almost silent — you have to concentrate to hear it, which is kind of odd. I knew that low-power servers could be made very quiet, but I didn't think this was possible for large servers, but obviously it is. We will have to get used to it.
