I had a colleague back in the very late 90s that lived in a typical British semi-detached house. Under the stairs was a cupboard against the external wall. He decided to make that his server room with a rack and "cheap" second hand kit.
To cool it, he drilled through the external brick wall several times and fitted exhaust fans.
His hall sounded like standing behind a 747.
If it rained, he often ended up tripping the fuses.

- riedel 6y agoIn our dorm all CS student closets rather resembled server racks. A friend overdid it though as he additionally used 4 workstations as bedposts. In summer he regularly slept in the shared kitchen because in addition to noise the temperature would also be of concern. I don't think the WAF would have been measurable.
- noxvilleza 6y agoNot a full server-rack but had 4 desktops (2-side by side on either side of my small desk) running a variety of stuff in my first two years of university (CS1.6 servers, WoW emu server, network bridge, teamspeak, DC server) - one was my personal computer. In 3rd year it went up to 5 since my room was slightly bigger and my friend would often come play games in my room (he didn't have internet).
