Anyone modded a 24 port POE switch to reduce noise?

Inspired me to do mine, the rack in our utility howls thanks to the switch and it drives my wife mad.
Like you I don’t care for resale, as like yours, my switch is a repurposed corporate item. The POE draw is only 4 aps so I’ll look at slowing the fans down first and then butchering it second :p

If that'd had been my switch I'd have made a replacement lid for it.

Or, as it's now in the top of the rack out of finger reach, left the lid off completely. The cooling fans could have been mounted to the top panel of the rack blowing down.

Why a replacement lid....?

without a lid it would get full of dust I would have thought...
