Help setting up FAH at work

Well I've now added to my setup. Now have put a refurbed H80 into my work PC to help with it's overnight folding

And added another PC to the setup a Core2Duo 3.4ghz.

Sorry about the rubbish phone images. Hopefully in the next week or two i can add a server down there.

That must be getting a bit warm in that corner of the room :eek:

It's all good. Room has got air con. Used to have 5 servers under there until we bought or rack mounted SAN.

Well I've managed to get my hands on an old server

4gb ram and two Intel® Xeon® Processor E5410 (12M Cache, 2.33 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)

Only thing is the fans in the PSUs are LOUD!!! Any ideas about turning them down? If not I'll have to try and find a cupboard with a network socket or rack to put it in.

Nice! No idea about the fans, its probably the case fans that are loud rather than the cpu ones, they should quieten down once its up and running.

CPU wise they are equivalent of the Core2Quad range of desktop CPU's like a little bit slower than a Q6600 I think I have one of those somewhere borged and it delivers 10-12K PPD

I shall unplug the case fans and boot it up and see what it sounds like, but a lot of noise seems to be coming from the PSUs. Tried changing the setting in the bios from performance to acoustic. If not i wonder if i can fit the server stuff into my p180 case
