If you're using consumer gear in a rackmount form factor (which I'd recommend, given that AMD Ryzen and Threadripper support ECC and are really cheap compared to Xeons), then you can get nice Noctua fans which really help make the fans much more reasonable.
Right now the PSU fan is the loudest thing in my rack, but I think I'm going to cut and solder a much quieter fan in place.

I've gotten far too tired of the problems I've had with Enterprise hardware, and forced incompatibilities. It will probably still be a tower though, in order to get it as quiet as possible for my apartment.
