I just purchased and received a Dell PowerEdge 2950 server for my work. This thing is very loud, even after the fans go past the super-loud startup mode. Have servers just gotten louder? I have always had a server in my office, that just hummed along, not *too* much louder than a typical PC. Needless to say, this sever is too loud and must go back. Any suggestions?

I have always had a server in my office, that just hummed along, not *too* much louder than a typical PC. Needless to say, this sever is too loud and must go back. Any suggestions? Yes, they have over the last few years. It's quite simple, actually. CPU's have gotten *MUCH* faster, resulting in much higher temperatures, thus needing much more cooling. At the same time, the cases have gotten *MUCH* smaller with 1U being the norm these days, so there's much less space to work with. All that has resulted in much louder and more fans as they struggle to keep the CPUs from burning up. I have a PowerEdge 1850 here in my office for testing but i rarely use it because i can't stand the noise. Whenever i go to the colo to work on our servers, i now wear ear-plugs. No joke ...
