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?
