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 would recommend the Dell Precision workstations. They are very well built these days and you can get them with dual quads. I have a one-socket model, and I can't hear if it's on or not in a quiet room. Under full load it might get a bit louder, but the modern Xeons make hardly any heat.

So what am I not getting if I went the precision workstation route? They are nice machines, and redundant power supplies are not standard, but an option with the server class machines. So what do I lose by running a nice dual processor Precision workstation as a server? |
