- akhilcacharya 9y agoInteresting - what differentiates workstation-class machines like these from dedicated server hardware? They're marketed differently, right?
- oso2k 9y agoThe fact the machine could sit on your desktop without causing you hearing damage.
- katastic 9y agoI honestly have no idea why "home" servers are so bloody loud. My desktop is more powerful than any of the machines at my company and it doesn't sound like a jet turbine--even at full load. And even when our servers aren't fully spun up, the fans are so loud and droning even at lower RPMs! Is it an issue of "overpowered" fans (for really hot rooms), or is it really just an issue of "cheap as crap" fans by OEMs?
- oso2k 9y agoIt's the physics of the volume of air that is being moved by the fan. A 2U tall fan has to spin twice as fast to move the same volume of air as a 4U tall fan. A 4U is roughly the same dimensions as a full height desktop or workstation. They probably employ lots of 2U servers.
