Ive done that before (using used cheap 1u boxes). The problem is listening to them, and then paying the power bill

- anonym29 4y agoThat's what the neighbor's outside outlet is for! /s Personally I live somewhere that is very cold for most of the year, and the cost of heating is going to be incurred for me whether I use servers, a furnace, or space heaters. The server fans also help block out noise from the freeway right next to my house too, so it's not a horrible trade off for me, but good call out, YMMV from mine.
- mgarfias 4y agothe power bill wasnt the worst. it was the constant screeching from the fans. I had them in a closed basement room but the noise penetrated the rest of the house. Its bad enough with 12 drives spinning + the fans in the 2u enclosure. Sometimes I want to just throw it all away.
