I think he means rack mount home servers, those are pretty nuts because of the noise that most rack mount cases make. Figure in a 1U case you normally have at least 4 15K RPM fans going at all times, even if you put it into "quiet" mode its enough to hear from the next room normally.

My rack mount case is silent enough to record with a high quality condenser microphone in the same room. But it is 4U with 120mm slow fans. Its all about how you build them. Obviously a 1U with 40mm fans running fast could make a lot of noise.
