- vladvasiliu 4y agoTrue, especially if the setup is directly in the living space. I'm not familiar with any of OP's components, but it's absolutely possible to have a silent setup. In my case, I have an HP EliteDesk (salvage from work) that does the routing, etc, which is dead quiet, and it's connected to a fanless Brocade (Ruckus) switch. There's no coil while or anything. The most annoying parts are the blinking lights, which I fixed with some red tape.
- giuliomagnifico 4y agoWhiny? There’s no noise, it doesn’t make any sound (no moving parts/fans, including electrical noise)
- danesparza 4y agoHuh? I have a pfSense firewall, a 16 port PoE switch, and several MacBook mini servers. All in the living room. They are all essentially silent (since that was a hard requirement for me). Silent (and good) gear definitely exists for spaces that require it.
- vachina 4y agoSorry for the misunderstanding. Whiny in a sense that it is capable of sending notifications (that are of little importance).
